Best headphones for the iPhone?

[Steedie]

Hey guys

I'm sick of the bad build quality of the iPhone headphones, as great as the clicker/mic is, I'm not prepared to put up with them falling apart near the base, this is the third pair

So would like a new set, ideally in ear head phones as I'm lucky to find a set of headphones that fit properly

So what are you guys using?

Don't really want to spend too much, but will do if the quality/sound makes it worth it

Cheers

What's 'too much' in your eyes?

 

[Steedie]

Good question

I guess I wouldn't really want to go over £50

I'd just gone for a Shure MPA-3C (Apple iPhone and Blackberry Curve) headphone adaptor. It includes a microphone and control button, should set you back about £30 leaving £20 for some reasonable headphones

Mine isn't here yet, but being Shure I'm expecting it to be good enough.

I did have a look at that, but was put off by the sheer amount of cable you are left with after the 1m on that, then you got the cable on the headphones themselves, would get a bit messy

Cheers for the suggestion though

Any others guys?

I have some Shure e3c's and they're superb, couple years old mind but get the updated model!

i wouldnt.... cx300's are crap, that was really the point. id rather use a pair of £50 earphones and use the hadset to talk than pay £50 for those.
