I am the proud owner of a Sony A3000. Im not here to talk about the Connect software (works fine as far as im concerned) but what im after is what is the best earbud earphones you can get? I have tried the Sony Ex 71's and now currently using JVC FX55's.

Are there any earphones that will give me better sound than I currently have?
 
I would say upto around £60, as I do use my MP3 every day of the week for several hours each day, so I see decent quality earphones as a must really, unless I need to spend more than that to get the best?
 
Anything better than these, if at all possible? I want to see the most top-of-the-range earphones that I could have, if it was "money no object"
 
Looks like its all the cheap ones from Argos, then any more expensive ones its Shure all the way, is that right?

Has anyone tried there range?

I have seen the ones from E2C - E5c, not sure the best price/performance earphones to go for?

Im hearing good & bad things about these Shure earphones.

Some say good, some say bad, but all have a harmonious voice when they say how bad the bass is, basically there isnt much of a bass at all.

If I said I was prepared to spend upto £100, would that get me much, or do I need to spend upto £150??
 
So is it that the Shure E4C's are "The best a man can get" :p

Maybe nothing else can beat them, as im an amateur when it comes to earphones I wouldnt know either way.
 
I dont need to invest in any in-door headphones as I already own Sennheiser HD600's, and the Gigaworks S750 for my surround sound, the only place I havnt spent money is in my MP3 earphones, and seeing as I spend more time listening to my MP3 than I am sing headphones at home, I think its worthwhile to have a look at all the options.

After asking, there seems to be some very hi-tech ones around that are better in quality than my previously owned Sony EX71's and my currently owned JVC FX55's.

Depends what price bracket I go for as I really dont have a clue about the kind of price should be my ceiling limit
 
I much prefer the in-ear to anything else TBH, because after I tried the EX-71's and how comfortable they are, I wouldnt ever go back to anything else
 
Your not the 1st that has talked about these Westone UM2's, which does give me some hope that these might actually be a very good buy. But I cant seem to find them in the UK for any less than about £200, hope the price has not gone up.

If you bought them from a non-competitions site, then do let me know
 
Exactly! I have the perfect & expensive enough home setup, but I spend more hours out listening to my MP3 player than I do listening to music indoors, which is a back-to-front way of looking at things, which is why I suddenly realised I have spent money in an area I spend the least of my time, and currently only have £25 JVC FX55's to give me sound.

Its the kind of best you can get from a high street store, and I know that I need to go online if I am to get these special earphones. I might be able to go for them next month, which is why I need to know now so I can be ready for them :D
