Paul S Posted August 5, 2011 Share Posted August 5, 2011 As per title. I always break them - chuck them in the gym bag and they get abused, sweated, sauna'd and steamed - so no point getting HI-FI. ta! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Next time I had to remember to strengthen where the wires joins the jack plug - that's always where I break them at the gym when I put the mp3 player in a pocket in my shorts, it gets too much bending.

[url="http://www.thomann.de/gb/the_tbone_ep_2.htm"]http://www.thomann.de/gb/the_tbone_ep_2.htm[/url] Shame it costs more for shipping than the price of the item. Bear it in mind next time you're ordering a load of strings maybe? Or PM me if you'd like me to get a pair and post them to you next time I do a Thomann order. Don't know when it'll be, mind.

Paul S Posted August 5, 2011 Author Share Posted August 5, 2011 They look just the job - to see a sub-£10 set of earphones listed in the top 10 with sets that cost £200 is pretty impressive. And that's an extremely kind offer - thank you! - but I reckon I'll get 2 pairs at least and shouldn't find it hard to add a couple of other bits and bobs. Ta.

Dubs Posted August 6, 2011 Share Posted August 6, 2011 These should be alright for a tenner - [url="http://www.play.com/Electronics/Electronics/4-/19517754/Sony-MDR-EX10-LPB-In-ear-Headphones-in-Fashion-Colours-Black/Product.html?searchstring=in+ear+headphones&searchtype=allproducts&searchsource=0&searchfilters=s%7bin+ear+headphones%7d%2b&cpage=6&ob=4&urlrefer=search"]http://www.play.com/Electronics/Electronic...urlrefer=search[/url] I've never had a pair of sony headphone that sounded terrible.

Paul S Posted August 6, 2011 Author Share Posted August 6, 2011 Thanks for that. I'll see how the postage works out for the others, if I can find something to bulk up the order - if not these will surely do the job. ta. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bankai Posted August 11, 2011 Share Posted August 11, 2011 (edited) Would recommend Sennheiser CX-200 earphones. A little more at £20 but worth it. Very re-inforced at the plug end. Edited August 11, 2011 by Bankai Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul S Posted August 16, 2011 Author Share Posted August 16, 2011 Thanks - I'll have a look at those. In the meanwhile I was in ASDA and bought the cheaper Sony ones for £9 - they are for sure a step up over the others i have been using so thanks Dubs.

I paid around £15 from Ebay but watch for fakes as they're the SM58 of cheap in ear headphones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dubs Posted August 20, 2011 Share Posted August 20, 2011 I own a pair of the CX-300II and they're pretty underwhelming, especially if you consider the RRP is £45. I think I paid around £15 for them from Play.com - I would have been disappointed had I paid any more. There are definitely better headphone on the market for the price.
