What are Good Quality In-Ear headphones, with controls?

I'm basically looking for a decent pair, I've currently got some Sennheiser in-ears, but they don't have any sort of controls with them, and after a while they get really crackly (They're not the high end ones, I only paid around £25ish for them).

Basically, the specs I need are[LIST][*]Good, Full sound (preferably with awesome bass)[*]controls for the music (and calls if possible, for iPhone)[*]Not overly expensive[/LIST]

I was looking at the Bose MIE2i set, but I've never had experience with bose in-ears before. (They're £120 on the site, but you can get them for about £79)

Can anyone recommend any?

I have the Bose ones you mention. They're awesome ! use them everyday for at least 2 hours, really comfortable.

I struggled for ages to find a quality pair. I prefer the in-ear ones and preferably with noise cancellation as I walk to/from work.

Tried Sennheiser but they just broke (and yes they were original shop bought ones, not fake web ones)

I even tried Apple's in ear ones because they cost ~£60 so I foolishly thought they would have at least a modicum of quality... no, they just broke as well.

So... a couple of years ago, my brother gave me a gift voucher for Christmas and I put it towards a pair of Bose in ear phones. What a load of shite!! Worse headphones I have ever bought. I had to have the volume on maximum just to hear anything. And I could still hear everything outside (probably a moth farting if I wore them at night)

And so the search continued... until a mate who's done a media sound engineering course at uni and does part-time DJ'ing, told me about Klipsch Audio Having to save up, I bought these Amazing!

-Fantastic bass
-Extra large control with big buttons which are a doddle to use, especially in this cold weather and you're wearing gloves.
-Yes... they are a tad pricey, but honestly they're worth it. They're completely waterproof (and sweatproof, should you wear them exercising) but if you mooch around the net, you might get them cheaper. Just make sure they're genuine.

I had some Klipsch S4i's before purchasing the Ultimate Ears, had to return them because of faulty controls, glad I did though because the Ultimate Ears are far superior and comfier if you use the supplied Comply foam tips.
