Morning everyone. I'm after a set of headphones for the mp3 player, really don't get on with the "in ear bud" things, something like below?


Budget of about £20 (don't want to go too mad, they're only for holiday).

Any pointers?

Thanks for the help.

Simon.

Seen the ones in Lidl today- start at 20hz low end which is pretty impressive if you like base. I think there is a typo on the upper range- should be 20000 hz I think.

Thanks for the suggestions and links, however I don't want the ones that go over the ear as I'll be out in the sun and I'll come home looking like a panda!

Cheers, Simon.

The tesco's own brand deep base in ear plugs are pretty amazing for £12. I can remember who makes them but they are blue plastic bodies.

These are pretty good and they have the added bonus of making you look like a Cyberman.

If you want to use them on public transport you will annoy people as the sound seeps out a lot more than the in-ear type.

I was so impressed with them I bought some of these which have the same drivers, but I didnt get on with them as they squash my ears.
