Just wondered if any of you guys had any reccomendations? I dont mind going abit over the budget but I dont want to spend alot as knowing me I will proberbly break them within a few days anyway lol

Thanks, Nick

Love these. Use them a lot.
They're pretty much Sennheiser re branded I believe.

Don't let the price put you off - they're superb 'phones for portables.

I have to mention one thing that bugs me with them - but bugs me with lots of in-ear phones. They don't have an in-line rotary/slide volume control. This means, my portable DAB radio, like many devices, goes only *so* low in volume then zero. No in-between. I listen in bed (bad sleeper) so need it super quiet! I can't fine tune for a very low volume. These phones let loads through so the problem (for me) is amplified. I personally get round it by adding an in-line slide volume control from another set of phones.
Worth mentioning if you use a device that will not go progressively down to zero but rather digitally in steps.
(Quiet/zero rather than quiet/quieter/zero)

Still, brilliant phones at a great price - I don't think you'll be disappointed.

CX-300s sound great and come with 3 sizes of rubber inserts for comfort

I'm almost sure these are the same Zeph. Chap I know who's a big audio-fan told me about the Creative ones a short while ago.
