Hey, I'm after some headphones and don't really know what sites to be looking at - so I guessed someone could spec me a set here instead?

I'm gnna be wearing them when jogging, so something lightweight that won't fall out / from my ears.

Decent quality sound on a budget of about £25?
 
Can I recommend in ear headphones? a lot of people I know say they are awful but I really like them they sit right in your ear and stay there. I think a well known high street store that sell books, dvds, cds and games sell them for about £5.xx, I have a pair of Logitech (one of the speakers aren't working anymore) I only paid £1.99 for them though ... good while they lasted.

But with your budget you'd get something better.

edit - done ;)

For some reason with me, in ear headphones fall out. I've got a pair of Sennheiser headphones with a bit that wedges it inside your ear so it doesn't fall out, but when I'm moving or jogging the bass keeps cutting in and out, must be a loose connection somewhere.

Might wanna remove the competitor too. :p
 
Sennheiser PMX70 are meant to be quite good.

However, I've used the PMX60's for years, do the trick :)
 
Love the CX300's, I replaced my broken Shure E2C's with them and what can I say, the Sennheisers were half the price and sound better.
 
I'm using CZ300's for running but I'm constantly re-adjusting them as they just don't fit well when jogging.

Would these be more ideal for running? Or similar clip on types?

Yeah I owned a pair of those once! Sound quality was average, are there any that are similar to this design? I don't think I want to risk the other ones and then find they fall out of my ears.
 
I can add to the Cx300 love. I use to have it and best for buck I've owned. I've since moved on to a Mylar XB :)

Edit: I've warmed up and practice TaeKwonDo whilst wearing the CX300, never had it come off. Make sure the bud fittings fits comfortably and you're all set.

I am quite a keen runner and actually have most of the headphones mentioned in this thread. The Sony's that are pictured are adequate but I find that while they don't come out they do need constant adjustment.
Of the Sennheisers I find that the CX-300 are the best all round headphone that I have. Sound quality is great and they are acceptable for running.
If it is just for running though definitely get the PM-70's. They are comfortable when running and even on run's of 10+ miles I have found that I have hardly had to adjust them at all. Also I find that they are not as large as they look in pictures on the web, they easily fit in a pocket when not in use.
You can easily find them for £15-19 if you look.
 
Sony EX90 or 85 - they dont "boom" like Creative ep630 or senn CX300 and sound a lot better than anything in its price bracket or even the next one above.
