(I wasn't really sure where to post this, so sorry if it's in the wrong place!)

I was just wondering if anyone could recommend me a good pair of ear/headphones for no more than £20? They're to listen to my mp3 player with, I'm not looking for amazing quality or anything, but obviously as best as possible that I can get for my money!

I don't want anything too big, but I can't wear in-ear earphones, as I've got tiny ears and they don't fit! I've had two pairs of these which I really like, but the wire is really soft and I have a habit of chewing on the wire () so I've broken both pairs So I'm looking for ones with a pretty strong wire too

I quite like the look of these, does anyone know if they are any good?

Thanks for any help/recommendations you can give me!

I've heard very good reports about these - they are in-ear ones but come with three sizes of earbuds so should fit differently sized ears!

I have those Sony ones; they're OK, but the fit's not great. And the protection on the wire is far too soft, so holes start to emerge.

I also have a problem with the inner-ear phones and the fit, but these actually expand to make a perfect fit, and have a very good sound;

Koss Sparkplug earphones

You could go for the Sennheiser PX100, you can get them at Amazon for £20.99.

It's a good brand, well designed and really worth it to pay a little more I think.

I have a more expensive model PX200 which I got in white to go with my ipod.

The ones I have the sound quality is far better and much less tinny than I've had with Sony or Koss, and like you I can't wear in-ear ones because of teeny earholes! And I've found that they block out more external noise for on the ear headphones than others I've tried which is always a problem (I don't know about the cheaper model as the ear pads are a little different). They are very comfortable and light to wear and look nice too.

They also magically fold up into a little hard travel case which is great when they are kicking about in my handbag fighting with the lipsticks/keys etc.

i've got the sennheiser px200s too - and can highly recommend them - the sound quality is excellent, and for over the head headphones they're very well designed - they have proper headphone padding rahter than foam, as well as some padding on the band part - so are extremely comfortable.

here are some amazon reviews of the px 100s

and the px 200s

(although they've changed design slightly since i got mine)
