Which earphones ?

Eagle_1

Does anyone have any reccomendations for earphones to use with mp3/mobile phone ?

I want to buy a decent pair (that wont break the bank) but which when used means that everyone else cannot hear the music like the current pair Daughter has.

Thanks

Erm price, probably £30 tops, will I get anything decent for that ? Thing is I dont want to pay a lot if we will still hear her music, but for the sake of an extra tenner then yes would probably go higher than the £30.
Nothing worse than in the car listening to someone elses horrible tatse in music

Thank you for that link but she would want the in ear type.

Hi

According to your budget I would go for one of these, I have both and I've been very impressed with the sound quality and build quality, and I'm very picky...

these, every day of the week. Incredible, with little/no sound leakage

All depends what the tasks are:

If it's purely for listening and lower end of the budget:

Then these will probably suffice (unless she's an audiophile)

Similar priced sennheisers will also do a good job!

If the tasks are to double up as a hands free and a little bit over your budget then (also slightly beyond the £30 budget):

I actually won a pair from twitter, generally the sound is good, noise cancellation does a decent job of "cancelling" out the noise of the train/car (note: it doesn't eliminate talking as it's not constant)

These are universally recognized as the best budget earphones on the market for the price, bar none: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Sennheiser-II-Precision-Isolating-Ear-canal/dp/B001EZYMF4/ . But DON'T get them from the Amazon Marketplace, since most third party vendors there sell fakes and they don't even know it. Go to a brick-and-mortar store and buy them there, even if they're a bit more expensive. Trust me, the first set I bought were fake and sound quality was good, but their build quality was flimsy and cable noise was ATROCIOUS. And the worst thing is that you can't tell a fake from the real thing unless you compare them side by side, they really look like the real deal!

+1 for Creative and the Sennheiser in-ear phones as above.

Also +1 for not buying them in the Amazon marketplace or ebay as fakes are commonplace.

Buy from Amazon direct.

Can anyone reccommend a good pair of earphones that will last more than a couple of months, my daughter seems to go through them so fast. She used the earphones which came with her samsung mobile & got about 6 months from the, longest yet, starting to cost me a fortune, so need good build quality with a budget around £30.00 or less.
