I somehow managed to break my Sony EX-71's in my drunken state last night, any ideas for some replacements? I want in ear again and in the same price range of about £20-£30. :)
 
I've read quite a few people now who insist that while the phones look the same, the CX300 actually have a different and better driver than the other two. Dunno if it's true but my CX300 sound superb.

Be careful of fakes btw. If you buy CX300 make sure they come in a sealed plastic/cardboard pack.
 
Cheers guys the CX300's look promising, are they noticeably better than the Sony EX71's I had before? I must say I was very pleased with the sound quality of the Sonys!
 
Those sony's have an iffy reputation and I didn't like the sound of mine at all. Boomy bass, shrill top end and no mids to speak of. CX300 are significantly better in my opinion but still not perfect. The bass is a bit inconsistent and the wire is barely long enough to reach your trouser pocket if that's where you put your MP3 player.

KSC-75s are great if you fancy something different, but they're not earphones.
 
Yep, the KSC-75s have much better midrange, solid bass and more refined highs plus they're cheaper, but the KSC-75s are clip-on headphones which are open (i.e. do not isolate from outside sounds).
