Hooray - comfortable mp3 earphones!

LOVE my mp3 player, but had great trouble finding comfortable earphones - till now. Because they fit IN your ear, you can listen at much lower volume, so battery lasts longer. Just had to share info - they're cheap too.

Bought first pair via their ebay shop. They took a while to come (from Hong Kong), but came with £3 voucher for next purchase. Bought some for whole family directly from website above, using voucher, and got another voucher with this order! Delivery was again rather slow (2 weeks) - it took them a week to dispatch the order - maybe due to Christmas.

Price varies with exchange rate. Currently £1.53 each plus £3.00 postage (1st item) and £1.00 (subsequent items).

    I couldnt use the ones that came with my player as they pop out of my ears (think ears are too small or something) so I have to use the over ear kind. What makes these special? Would they not pop out or something?

    I have the same problem as you. Keep ramming the things in my ears. Painful and they won't stay in for long.

    See pic on web link. Theres a soft rubber bit that goes into the external ear canal, and this keeps them in place.

    is there a minimum spend on the voucher? and does it take off P&P as well?

    thanks x :beer:

    Presumably the rubbery bit is much better at isolating external noise too? They look a bit like my Creative noise isolating earphones, which are also very comfortable.

    What I really want is some comfortable earphones with a retractable cord, I spend all my time untangling it!

    Dont bother buying these earphones, they are really poor quality. so much so when i plug in my sony earphones, and swap them for the uxcell earphones, there is an exteme difference in sound quality. also no money off voucher recieved with order :mad:
  • Like other posters I find that Ipod head-phones fall out as soon as I put them in.

    I did have some cheap ones which were totally useless.

    I now have Sennheiser CX300 - Ear Canal Headphones (around £20 from amazon) - which I - and other amazon users find excellent!
