think i'll get myself a pair of cx400's £20 is cheap as chips for decent earphones

my sony ex71's are falling to bits now (had them about 4 years, and i really don't take any care of them)

I had the Sony ex71s, do you find the wires tangle for fun? Every time i got them out of my pocket i had to spend 5 mins untangling them. They had good sound though, was gutted when they fell out of my ear and got tangled in my bike gears

.

The Sen cx300s sound better IMO so the later models cx400 or 500 should be a good upgrade.

Get some Creative EP630s off well known auction site- £8.50 for 2 pairs and they are honestly disturbingly good considering that price. I just ordered another 4 pairs earlier today. Not to say they don't last a long time, I've had 3 so far over the past 3 years with MEGA heavy use, I use them in my phone, my MP3 player, my computer etc. - the only reason they die is because I end up pulling the cable too hard and they get a loose connection.

They came free with my dell laptop and are pretty poor imo.

I have the Ultimate Ears Super Fi 5 EB Black, pure heaven in headphones. A little expensive (£100) but the older i get the more fussy i am with quality of sound. Maybe its my ear maturing

Got my eye on their top of the range pair for next year now

ATTENTION!

I have decided to buy the Creative EP-630

But now i want some Headphones for use when at night.

Don't want to spend a lot but would like a nice reliable brand, etc, wired also

yeh they are a lot!

<£30

Mark A · 31 Jul 2008 at 03:56

I'd look at getting some HD555s second hand then. You wont get anything good for that price. I went from £30 Technics ones to these and the difference was staggering. The quality will still be there long after the price is forgotten

my hd 465's are great but they can *** people off as they are louder than some speakers

Energize · 31 Jul 2008 at 04:05

I use Shure E2C's.

Those Creative Fatal1ty headphones are great for indoors.

I found that the ear pads were a bit too small when I tried my friends, lots of other people reported the same issue too.

Sennheiser CX300

Edit: Not fake ones

This, for the price they're awesome.

But if you're not a fan of in-ear phones you could get some headphones? Something like the sennheiser px 100's are good.

Margaret · 31 Jul 2008 at 12:13

Sennheiser CX300's are good, I used to have Shure E2C's but when they broke I got a refund and got the cheaper CX300's, much better and also cheaper.

I use Sennheiser HD595 when inside and the CX300's when out.

What forum? Audio question.

I too have the Super.fi 5 EB's and they are lovely. They do look a little silly when your wearing them but the pure aural bliss that is emitted from them makes up for that! Also, if your not a basshead I would get the Super.fi 5 Pro's instead!
