replacement earphones on a tight budget

My daughters ipod nano headphones have packed up, can anyone recommend a good quality but budget earphone, she keeps pinching mine. Thanks

  • If she was happy with the sound quality on the stock ipod headphones just buy any pair of earphones around the 10 - 15 quid mark, the quality of ipod headphones is dreadful so she will probably be happy with anything.
    There's no sense crying over every mistake.
    You just keep on trying till you run out of cake.

    For less than a fiver you can get a pair of 'JVC gumy' earphones from Amazon and they come in loads of colours. They''re not going to compete with bose,sony, or sennheiser but they are decent and well worth the fiver. Here's a link.

    I had the same problem with my iPhone head phones and bought some Ear Candy Buds. They are ace.

    The Sonys recommended above or the cheapest Sennheisers are going to sound miles better than the stock headphones. Sennheiser MX 360s are £7.99 delivered from Amazon. You could probably find them in Asda or Tesco for a fiver.

    I bought a pair of Sony earbuds half price in Tesco to temporarily replace the broken Creative earbuds.

    Still using them 2 years later.

    In-Ear headphones sound great but they block traffic noise on the bicycle - I like to hear cars coming behind me.
