Earphones!

Hi!

I'm in need of some earphones, the only time I really use them is at the gym when I am running etc.

I used to use the ones that came with my iPod but I've lost them.

I'd like some good quality ones, but with a fairly decent length cable because there are TV's on the running machines and if the lead is too short I can't run and have the earphones plugged in

Looking around £50-£60? What do you suggest?

I can't decide between normal in ear ones or those that go around the back of your head as well?

I use Klipsch earphones when I hit the gym. They are comfortable and sit in the ear well. I am very isolated from the surrounding noise and music.

Just looked at some on the rainforest site and they didn't get brilliant reviews

I can only tell you from my own perspective. I think there great and they work really well for me. I used to own some Sennheiser before and I thought they were good until I kept getting a bit of ear wax in the phones, which distored the sound. Now if I get any wax on the Klipsch ones. I just remove the ear piece and blow out the wax.

I had some Klipsch ones, and found that the cable was a little stiff, and that they didn't fit my ears brilliantly, meaning tht they kept getting tugged out if I used them on the move. They sounded excellent though.

Have a look here http://www.head-fi.org/forum/thread/478568/multi-iem-review-123-iems-compared-sunrise-xcape-brainwavz-m3-added-11-30 123 IEM's reviewed by the same person.

Personally, I purchased a set of Brainwavz M1's & a Fiio e5 headphone amp for £31 from China, a week ago, still waiting for them to arrive though!
