My iPhone earphones broke so I need to get a new pair of in ears to listen to music when I'm out and about. Don't really want another official Apple set as I've only ever had problems with them. Can anyone recommend a decent pair of earphones for around £20
Good budget in-ears

E10s are so overrated now. Everyone has been jumping on that bandwagon for 3-4 years. There are better, cheaper alternatives out there. The Xiaomi Pistons and the Fidue A31 are, for example, better options, as is the VSonic VSD1S. Dunu's range is also well worth looking into.
What kind of music do you listen to predominantly?

VSD1-S would be my choice then, or push the budget a little bit and grab the VSD3-S's - which is what Im using atm and without a doubt the best IEM I've heard under £100

Reviews seem iffy but not that expensive to test so put an order in for the VSD3-S, now just got to wait for delivery.
Cheers
Good because I ordered mine and they should be here today
+1 and i usually listen to EDM on them , had them for over a year and got them when they are on the cheap <£20

Trust me, you won't regret it. There is a thread in Sound City pretty much dedicated to them that you can read through
I presume you ordered from LendMeUrEars? They are the only official stockist (and so the only place VSonic will honour warranties from).The thread.
Some reviews: here, here, here and here.

You've not heard the Fidue A73's then? They are astonishing for £90

I wish I had - I can't find them for £90, though. When I was looking at them in the past they were more like £110 and for that money I think it takes an awful lot to be the GR07s.
Definitely wanna hear them though, perhaps when my PhD grant comes in.

Hisoundfi's top 10 IEMs (quoted from "The Lab" thread on Head-fi)
High praise indeed coming from someone who owns both the A73 and the much more costly A83.
The VS3DS comes in at number 30, I just copy and pasted his top ten.

I would recommend VSONIC VSD3S as rids57 mentioned them. I own them and they are the best in earphones I ever owned. I have no complain about them the trouble just needs to be rolled off on some as some pairs have some sibilance levels that can be eliminated with eq most of them are around 7.5khz
For a £20 budget, the Xiaomi Piston 3 is what I recommend. It's slightly better than the Piston 2 and can usually be found under £20 from UK/Euro sellers. It gets even cheaper if you buy direct from China/Singapore.
The GR07 Bass Edition will cost about £80 and you'll have to buy from Asian sellers for the best price. Although the GR02 BE offers good bass at around £30.
