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!

I will check out shure and bose, thanks.”
Then it's quite likely they aren't fully on. As they should sort of "clip" onto the stem. I've had a pair for over a year and the rubber pieces have NEVER fallen off.
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'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.

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).

I was going to go for the cx300 headphones but I'm not sure whether I would get on with the rubber earbuds.... the apple style headphones fit perfectly but sound awful.
Are there any good ones with the same stylings as the apple pair?
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

If you're after good quality earbuds the Yuin range offer some of the best (the are a Chinese company but you can order them here). The PK3 and PK3 would both be suitable for an Ipod. The PK1 is best avoided unless you have an external amplifier.
Although they will sound good, like any ear buds the Yuins won't offer the kind of noise isolation in-ear phones offer.
