£17 is a great price for these headphones; the next cheapest is £20 at Richer Sounds. Postage is free. Bear in mind Play changes the price depending on supply and demand, so this may go up and down. Provided you get it for under £20, you're onto a winner.

    Dammit! Could have saved me a £ :lol:
  • I use these with my iPod and they sound fantastic. Much better than
    the ones that iPods come with.

    Looks like some of their marketplace sellers are reputable and selling for £11?

    That's not difficult!
    Why do so many fools pay £££ for their ipod and not even £10 for their headphones which actually make the sound? More 'quantity not quality' genius... :confused:

    I'm afraid as a new user I can't post links so you'll need to:
    • Browse to Google
    • Hit their shopping link
    • Search for "sennheiser cx500 black"
    • Order the results, Price Low to High

    Enjoy

    thing with inner ear headphones is they increase the bacteria inside your ear exponentially (because they stop air coming in and allow heat to stay in)

    I always think they are a bit icky.
