Earphones
Can anyone recommend a really good pair of in-ear earphones?
Not sennheiser mx300's, they are bloody annoying - the rubber pads keep falling off. |

Depends how much you want to spend. I just bought a pair of Shure E3G (same as E3C) they where £59 including delivery but they sound really good, once you get them stuck in your ears!

Shure are great
Ultimate Ears are Better http://www.ultimateears.com/_ultimateears/ And Bose do some nice triport in ears. I have used all three and to me the UE Superfi pro are a better fit and by far better sounding |

I'd also go for the Shure ones as well.
I only have the E2C ear buds and I love them (think you can pick them up for £35 delivered, but there is a new range out at the moment if you want to spend some serious money. Also like a poster above said I've heard Ultimate Ears make really great headphones, but they are expensive. |

IMO, shure are good for some music (rock for example) but the roll-off at high-frequencies can make them unsuitable for certain genres. Thats why I gave up on the E3Cs and got the Etymotic ER4, which, IMO, are a lot better, although more expensive

I have Shure E2Cs which sound great but they do get quite uncomfortable after a while.

I'm using Sony MDR-EX71SLB's, far better than the sennheiser CX300's on sound quality alone, also the rubber bits don't give me any trouble. (I wipe mine daily with bog roll)

When using inear sound isos you must make sure you fit the speaker correctly with a twist, it causes a Vacuum in your ear. so many people dissmis them as not comfy or sound crap because they dont fit them inear as they should.
You have your price range and Shure are great, but I still highly recomend the UE Super-Fi if you can afford about £100 |

I can highly recomend UE Super .FI 5 Pro, I have found threm to be very comfortable and the sound quality is really good, and I have found that you even hear things on some music tracks that you dont even know exist with your ordinary ipod earphones.

I was hoping for the same advice actually.
Im looking at various Sony ones and Phillips SBCHE590's. Which would be better out of the following: Phillips SBCHE590 Sony MDREX71SLB Sony MDREX85 Premium |

I must admit that I have not heard those headphones, but I'd still go for the Shure E2C headphones - you can pick them up for about £35 delivered at the moment and sound great (along with a lot of empressive reviews).
Are there any good ones with the same stylings as the apple pair? |

Well thats pissing annoying.
I thought I'd ordered Sennheiser CX300 Eco Ear Canal Headphones this morning but the order didn't even process properly so I won't get them until Friday now. But I still have 18 hours to order so i need you guys opinion. What to get, the ones mentioned above or Shure headphones... I have a £40 limit though.. Im not paying £100 for some |

Are there any good ones with the same stylings as the apple pair? Although they will sound good, like any ear buds the Yuins won't offer the kind of noise isolation in-ear phones offer. |
