Assuming your budget is about £10 - £20: Sennheiser CX-300 II

Thanks, I went for my favorite, SkullCandy.

I know both are just paying for their name but I got these! £12.99! WOW! http://www.play.com/Electronics/Electronics/-/271/351/-/9564891/Skullcandy-Titan-In-Ear-Headphones/Product.html?searchtype=genre&add=9564891&pid=638408&dpr=638408

Thanks :)

I'd like to point out that Skull candies are horrendous quality and are 100% about the brand identity.

They look awful and what I've heard is they sound awful :L

I pay premium for headphone's and tbh either Bose or Monster Cable are my favourite companies.

My fav earphones are http://beatsbydre.com/int/products/Products.aspx?pid=B5596
They look great and sound great but aren't cheap <3

My mate got some of them and they broke within a week and yes they were real. Once again, paying for the brand. I mean, I can not tell the difference between quality. As long as I can hear my music, I'm happy :)

Your friend obviously doesn't treat his stuff well. I have bought them and they haven't got a scratch on them. They're as good as new.

Actually Beats have had pretty bad reviews from independent reviewers.

Bose and Monster Cable both sell overpriced pieces of garbage.

Monster earphones, more specifically the turbine pro gold, are reviewed to be very good and not overpriced. At whoever "pays a premium" for crappy lady gaga designed earphones, *REMOVED*

Someone at my school bought some Skullcandy earphones from a random year 10 that he knows, I had a listen and they were abysmal. Sounded so crappy and tinny but I didn't want to say anything as he was really happy about buying them. I'm not sure if they were either fake versions of some good Skullcandy's or just a pair of the cheap Skullcandy's.

I took some advice on here to go with Sennheiser so I bought some CX-400's which didn't even last a month IIRC before one of the speakers blew, paid about £50 for them I think... My latest are a pair of Monster Cable's Beats by Dre Solo HD. Had them for a few weeks now and they are amazing!! They look superb and the sound quality is even better, crystal clear while also having very deep and responsive bass. Usually high-bass headphones sound muddy but certainly not these!

DR Dre - way too overpriced! As long as music is playing, idc what comes out haha.

You can get the fake DR Dre's for £30 which are ok...

I don't see why anyone would want to buy fake headphones, they are obviously going to have crap sound quality. They are for listening to music, who cares what brand they are or what they look like. Sound quality should always be put in front of looks. It just so happens to be that Beats look AND sound great. :)
