Decent budget headphones for my first ipod (not from Tomy)

[admin_exported]

I'll be getting an ipod nano next week when I take a hop through duty free in Sydney and want to get myself a decent (better than the standard) ear-canal headphones for £20-30. I saw the review for the Sennheiser CX300's on here and just wondered if there were any other alternatives which score as highly, or should I just go for the Sennheisers

Thanks

Sorry,... just did a quick google search (other search engines are available) and you can get the black Sennheisers on Play for £18, but the silver are still £30. Does this price reduction make them the automatic choice?

Yes, no question.

thanks for that... one thing thuough... I've noticed that there is a beast called the Sennheiser CX 300-II are these different/better? They seem to cost a little more.. around £25

Ooo don't know. Probably not 50% better I'd have thought, so I'd go for the cheaper ones...

Ahhhh... the voice of reason... good man... Thanks for that... very much appreciated.

No probs. Having had the cable break on my last three pairs of phones I now consider them disposable so don't spend money on them unnecessarily. That said, the 300s are exceptional - when these ones break I'll just buy another pair.

Seconded. Invaluable for a journey on public transport...

I have got these headphones and they sound great, alot better than the iPod ones. They love to play bass music so if you like bass then these are the ones you should go for WITHOUT A DOUBT.

Yes. in my view except Sennheiser there is another branded headphones which wins hands down are skullcandy and shure.
