Best sub-£50 budget in-ear earphones
Discussion
I seem to be going through a pair of earphones once a year which is discouraging me to get a pair of Shures. My last pair were destroyed yesterday while running in the marathon and my arm got caught in the cord and ripped the cable out of the bud. Arse.
Anyhow....I need another pair pronto and was wondering which are the best sub-£50 pair I could buy.
Sennheiser CX300 is obviously a good start and my last pair were a set of AKG K324P which are almost identical to the CX300's.
I found them to be great for day-to-day use and very comfortable plus I can pick up a pair for €40.
What else is available at this price that could be better? I'm very open to alternative suggestions...

It's this stupid forum separation that's caused the lack of replies. In ye olden days I'd get stacks of responses by now.....
Stupid PH reorganisation.....it's much like the pointless reorganisation in my company and now nothing works and nobody knows who's doing what, etc, etc.....

I'm looking into an upgrade to my CX300's and looking at SE210, CX500, and maybe some other Senns. . .may well break the £50 budget if I can find something suitable.
Interesting you say that. There's also the CX400's which have a slightly higher frequency response to the CX300's and this is within my budget.I also found out they've released a supposedly new version cleverly entitled CX300 II series! This apparently has better drivers but it also means the older stuff is going cheaper.....
However, my biggest gripe is the in-line volume control on the CX400. Won't this degrade the sound quality?

Try the Yuin PK3
Interesting. They look crap but obviously through feedback, sound great.Not what I'm interested in though. Ear buds fall out of my ears while jogging, cycling and I find them uncomfortable. Any earphone I choose must be an in-ear design.
Thanks for the suggestion though....

For an IEM try the NE7 (the NE8 is over ear which may/may not work for you)
Where exactly can you buy these and where is their website?! I've just found a crappy looking dodgy Chinese site....this can't be it....???? Can it?beanbag said:
