So I need some new earphones - standard 3.5mm jack - not bothered about the price (as always with me), but they do need to be good quality. I want the ypes which get rid of outside sound - don't want to hear it!

By in ear I mean:

Those types of earphones are always crap, haven't personally seen a good pair my self.

Apple ones don't give out fantastic audio but they are pretty decent generally.

Not getting from Apple overpriced - had them with my touch but aren't what they are made out to be :(

I had some very good ones with my Milestone but lost them at a gig lol.

I THINK: http://www.motorola.com/Consumers/GB-EN/Consumer-Products-and-Services/Mobile+Phone+Accessories/Headsets/Wired-Headsets-and-Headphones/MOTOROKR-EH25-GB-EN - they were the ones.

Just wondering if there is anything better.

No I'm not bothered about price.

However I am not prepared to pay for something that isn't even that good quality. I might be prepared to pay, but I am not a mug.

In-ear earphones are the ones in the image you said you didn't want.

The ones in the top image are just standard earphones or sometimes called earbuds.

Earphones all depend on price. There's not so many of the style you're looking at as the general trend has moved towards in-ear.

The best really cheap earphones at around £5 are JVC gumy. http://www.play.com/Electronics/Electronics/6-/Search.html?searchstring=JVC+gumy&searchtype=ELEC&searchsource=0
For more expensive maybe have a look at what Sennheiser offer.

I'd recommend you get in-ear though as there's far more choice.

Plus, you said you want noise isolation. That's part of what in-ears are all about.

These have always served me well, and they're quite comfy:

A simple Amazon search of "Logik Headphones" comes up with alot of colour choices :)

I bought a £3 pair of the in ear horrible things. They go in to far, and are ew - I just hate them :P I will look more into Sennheiser.

The earphones you posted do look good, especially for the price. The review is convincing too.

Those do look comfortable, what are your thoughts on them?

Looks good, but any idea if sound quality is superior upon cheaper brands, or would I be paying more for the brand than quality?
