  • I just bought a set of these off ebuyer and I'm very pleased. They are quite different to standard earphones as they go in the ear canal, but the sound is great, and they really block out external noise very well.

    If you end up buying from somewhere other than ebuyer (namely amazon marketplace and ebay) be careful of fakes as there are loads around. I had a pair and you can tell instantly they were fakes as the sound was absolutely awful. The real thing however is spot on.

    I also bought a 1gb xd card for my camera and 2 30p mouse mats to take me over the £30 google checkout threshold. So I ended up getting the whole lots for around £23.

    I use the Sony bluetooth set in link below. Very good and a very handy gadget.

    the etymotic er-6i's are really good, excellent sound isolation and sound.

    only problem is the best isolator is the foam thing but it is bright orange

    I have a pair of bose in ear earphones, the sound is great but the best bit is the comfort is out of this world I can keep them in all day withig any pain that I have had from most other earphones I have used. They are more expensive than most but they are excelent.

    If your wanting headphones like some have posted my favorite pair are my bose quiet comfort 2's, I bought them a few years ago and have used them loads the sound is awesome. At first i felt disapointed when I got the in ear as I was hoping for the same sounds in the in ears as in the QC2's but it was never going to happen but I went back tot he old sony mdr-ex71's which I thought were ok and the bose in ear's just blow them out of the water.

    I bought some B&O A8's three years ago and still sound fantastic - look like a g-clamp over your ears and don;t move....even when falling of mountain bikes :D
    Pricey though - but great service and 2 year warrenty

    I've got a pair of Shure e2c's which I'd recommend - now going for c.£35 online (I paid £70 last year and still not grumbling) - just make sure the mp3s you listen to with them are good quality or you can hear the difference!
