Skullcandy??? :)
If you like in ear headphones, hmv are usually good had mine about 3 years and there still in good tac :)
I have a pair of Skullcandy 'DUB's at the moment, £7 from HMV and I haven't regretted them at all just yet to be honest. Most of the pairs you'll find in HMV are pretty good, I had some HMV Caps (£5) for over a year before replacing them.
If you're looking for the best build quality you should probably go for Sennheisers, the only downside being they're rarely very colourful compared to others you can get.
I have Nixon "The Trooper" cans. They are amazing. A little pricey but worth it :)

£5 free delivery SUPERB quality you can't go wrong...
Seconding Shaz's recommendation, they're the only ones I buy any more! Also when I bought mine in-store they gave me a years warranty, so if they break (for any reason) I get a new pair. Warranty's only £1.50 and I'm pretty clumsy so it's pretty much just free earphones!
I also have a pair of SkullCandy Pro. Which are immense haha.

I agree, you want some proper cans :DQuote:

Get some Audio Technicas. I have a pair of soundMAGIC MP-21 in-ears, highly recommended considering their price: http://www.hifiheadphones.co.uk/soun...odid-2080.html
Those GUMY ones are absolutely terrible - frequency range is shocking, don't buy them.
I recommend some Sennheiser earphones - you did say earphones and not headphones, right?
Edit: The above are decent too :)
Anything not Skullcandy, <£20 or Sennheiser. Definitely not Sony and not Bose.
SoundMagic headphones are pretty good for the price. I have PL11's and they are great :)

Can't go wrong for earphones.
... that's extremely wrong.Quote:

had a look up town, really wasn't sure :/

these look good though, think they'd be my best bet?
Brilliant headphones.Quote:

As I said, form over function, beats don't perform as well as other headphones because they're fashion icons not music listening devices.Quote:

Well I think they perform well compared to some of the other headphones i've had (sennheinser/sony/skullcandy). They look good and sound good which = not a waste of money!Quote:
