i'm looking for a good pair of earbud type in-ear headphones for my ipod - willing to go to about £20 quid if necessary.

saw these in argos

wondered if anyone knew if they were any good ?

these ones ..

http://www.argos.co.uk/static/Produc...s|10199251.htm

are the ones i'm looking at as well ..

if anyone has any of them, i'd be grateful for your opinion, or any other recommendations .. cheers ..

i've currently got the JVC Gumy headphones, which aren't too bad but i think I can do better.

head over to headfi org and be willing to spend a little more if you want sound quality.

the head is willing, but the wallet isn't unfortunately .. £20 quid would be my absolute maximum upper limit.

But for which model you rae looking ipod touch, nano, shuffle or classic. Any way I let you know the place where you can search as per your requirement http://www.blueunplugged.com/c.aspx?c=47020
Hope this help.

I got the SHE9500 for £15, brilliant pair of headphones.
They haven't got very good reviews, but I love them

i actually got a pair of sennhauser ones in HMV for a tenner and they're fantastic - really rich bass and don't get tinny or raspy either when i turn the volume up .. saved me a tenner ... nice one

thanks for the tips though ..

Undoubtedly I ould recommend you Koss KEB7G earbud stereophone pink only about £7.62and compatible with both iphone and ipod.

Yeah, I could recommend the Sennheiser earphones too. They are available at £14.63 at amazone.

I just got some Sennheiser CX-300s which are sweet as, less than a tenner at amazon. If you want to go really posh but stay under your 20 quid limit theres the CX-500s with noise cancellation, very swish.

those do look good

i hate to say it, but you've tempted me now !!! *shakes fist*

I clicked through a couple of those links for CX-500's and ended up on an Amazon Market Place seller.

I would only buy these direct from Amazon (or Play.com ... or somewhere like that). Far too many fakes on places like ebay and Amazon market place.

You *may* get legit ones ...... but, personally, I wouldn't take the chance.

oh no, neither would i - i'd either get them out of HMV or Maplins or somewhere like that, or off Amazon proper.

i've just ordered the CX 500's .. it's your fault

they arrived today .. i must say i'm not massively impressed so far ..

maybe i need to take them out for a proper road test though - listening in my kitchen doesn't really count

I was tempted by a pair of she9800 Philips Headphones today to replace my Sony EX90's they broke a few days ago so I took them back to Argos and got myself a pair of EX85's because they didn't have any of the EX90's in stock after all the problems I've had with Philips Technology lately I wasn't risking it.

Is there such a thing as good earbuds for less than £20?

I don't think you can get a really decent pair of headphones for under £20 now the ones in the £20 to £60 range are some of the best for bass, treble and audio quality you can hear the difference with a cheaper pair.

well i took the CX-500's out for a proper road-test today and they're bloody brilliant .. it must be my kitchen

the one thing i did notice though was that my jaw was bloody killing me after an hour of listening to music - guess it's the whole in-ear thing. the noise cancellation deeley does work pretty well as well.

really good quality buds .. very pleased
