<£30 earphones for an ipod

*Chris · 5 Jul 2010 at 13:30

Hey guys, just wondering what a decent set of ipod earphones is.

Preferably not in-ear ones but I'm not that fussy.

Costing between £15 and £30 please!

Thanks

Sennheiser CX 300's, cant go wrong. They are in ear designs, but offer excellent value for money and sound great

Klipsch image x1, although they look a bit wierd when wearing them.
For comparison i have the sennheisser CX300 II aswell and the klipsch are far superior in sound quality imo.

The Klipsch X1 are great at the special price, definitely better than the Senns. If you don't want the sort you insert then look on the bay for Yuin PK3, they are the best cheap earphones. Sennhesier do the MX760 and 580 which are decent but the PK3 is just a little more and notably better.

soundmagic pl30's

better than my old cx300's, and with a tonne of accessories, top buy

well of course they are better, but then they cost a lot more, just they are on special offer at the moment with a few places

Good choice. I went for Klipsch X1 about 2 months ago and their great.

I think i am yet to hear anything bad about them earphones.

Do the Klipsch X1 stick out a lot ?

It looks kind of funny from the pictures.

*Chris · 6 Jul 2010 at 20:27

Anyone know of a decent non-in-ear set?

Thanks

Sennheiser px100's.

marc2003 · 6 Jul 2010 at 20:39

i have to agree with guy above. get the original version (not the new mkII) as they're cheaper and more comfortable.

Yjani · 6 Jul 2010 at 22:11

you could get something very awesome for £40-45 ish, the Grado i-Grado Wrap arounds. These are utterly fabulous. Review here: HERE

In ears tend to sound better, dunno much about non-in-ear but the klipsch image x1 go a bit further in your ear than other inearphones, just a word of warning. Sennheisers are almost always good preformance/price ratio so just find some at the top of you budget, but that do sport ones that probabily cost more cause of other features............

oli356 · 7 Jul 2010 at 00:25

I don't see why you wouldn't want in ear ones
They fit better, sound better etc

And they don't stick out of your ears that bad considering they are rather long

Allnamestaken · 7 Jul 2010 at 03:03

My ears are going to be penatrated tommorow by those X1's.

Someone gimi some lube.

xb8browney · 7 Jul 2010 at 06:54

Only thing I don't like about mine is how much they stick out compared to other in-ear's.

But I still like them better than CX300 and CX400

FeFiDoh · 7 Jul 2010 at 11:06

Im going to order some of those x1's now.

Had two pairs of cx300s and both fell apart which is quite annoying!
