I need recommendations. Their may be threads earlier on but i need recommendations for both in ear head phones and also the big ones for like PCs.

roughly about a £50 price range. Preferably lower, im going for quality against price. so the quality has to be really good for the price.

any help on this.

I simply can't stress how good value these are. Admittedly I've never owned any other quality earphones but I tested them against my mum's ipod earphones and some old philips ones I had and they sounded so much better it sounded like I was listening to a different song. Idk if that's a decent benchmark but they certainly outperform their price by miles, and even if you're not thrilled with them they cost about £8 in total so you'll still have money to play around with as well as decent pair of earphones.

Check out the cheap chinese mp4 players too :P </plug>

I would recommend Sennheiser branded ones. http://www.play.com/HOME/HOME/6-/Search.html?searchstring=sennheiser&searchtype=ELEC&searchsource=0

The only drawback I can see with those headphones is the battery life, 22 hours is about 3 days of average use if you're using it with TV and computer (obv you'll know your life more than me :P) so unless you have recharchable batteries it could get expensive :)

fortunately i do lol. Even so, i can buy more anyway, we have a rechargeable dock anyway. Theyve had good reviews from customers, just bass could be better.

just need a reasonable pair of in-ear ones

EDIT: to above, they havnt had very good reviews from what ive read. They look really nice, but ill have to see

ive repped everyone i can

Yeah they have good reviews and seem pretty decent for the price and considering they're "entry level".

Will sound better through a computer than TV though.

Save money and get CX300 or CX400? Or splash on Shure?
