In ear headphones, what ones ?

[wellibob]

Ok, I lost my HTC desire headphones, which while not great, were fine for in ear buds. I'm looking for decent replacements. What should I be looking at for the best for £30-40 ?

I'll second this.

I bought a set to replace my dying Shure SCL2 IEMs. The cable cracked where it goes around the ear, and I'm getting a refund (a year late ).

The Superfi 5s have great clarity and bass response, and can get VERY loud .
I'd definitely buy them over my Shures again (which were twice the price of the £40 Superfi 5s!)

Cant see them for 30-40 quid

Knackers, they were available in the last couple of weeks for under 40 notes. It now seems that there's no stock in those places (Play being one place, and a direct competitor being another).

There are some on eBay for ~£5-10 more, but obviously that's out of budget.

Sorry.

I grabbed the SuperFi's a few weeks back for the above mentioned price and they are astounding for that money - Have a flick through HUKD and you may find a few bargains on there to investigate.

Went through 4 sets of SuperFi Pro 5 cables in less than 12 months & all replaced under warranty, about 2 months after warranty ran out the drivers packed up in one ear, after a load of hassle the retailer eventually agreed to replace.

Another 6 months later the other ear went. If the build qualities improved now Logitech are onboard then they make a great sound, but otherwise i wouldnt touch UE's again with a bargepole.
