Can anyone recommend a good quality pair of in-earphones, please?

I normally go with Sennheiser CX300s as they normally sound good and last a couple of years but my most recent pair died in a few months and the ear buds kept coming off in my ears so I'm looking for something better now.

Thanks

My SoundMagic E11s have never let me down, worth a look.

SoundMAGIC E10s were excellent for me for many years.

Thanks guys, I just ordered the e10s direct from their website, didn't really feel like spending more than £20 today. I think I actually owned a pair of these a long time ago and had no complaints so hopefully they'll last at least.

I got my most recent, broken Sennheisers from Amazon just over a month ago and now I'm not sure if they're actually fake. They feel slightly different to previous ones I've had and it would explain why they died so quickly. Unfortunately the experience has completely put me off Sennheiser as these things aren't cheap.

I've had a pair of Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless for just over a year and while they sound brilliant the build quality isn't as good as the price would suggest as the lid on the charging case has snapped off, they still charge up properly (usually) but its still fairly annoying considering the price.

Ever since I first picked up and started recommending those headphones in around 2007 there have been loads of fakes.

The trouble is Amazon "bin" like items together so even if you buy from different marketplace sellers you can still actually end up with the othe seller's items who pollute the "bin" with counterfeit goods.

Should always come in retail packaging etc.

I found a pair of CX300-IIs on a train a while ago (After losing mine together with a £75 set of Shure E2Cs I think it was) and still have those. They're good little drivers, if a bit bassy, but that's great for hard rock and some electronic.

The SoundMagics got loads of good feedback in that price bracket a while ago, surprised they're still making them, so you should be OK with those too.

Philips SHS8100/28 Earhook Headphones are my favorite. They don't fall out at random like others, the sound quality is good and sound leakage is low.

+1 for the sound magic crew! Best damn in ear headphones without spending tonnes of money

Rocking Soundmagic E11 here as well. Great earphones.

I've had a pair Soundmagic E50 for a couple of years after going through three E10's in about six years. Earlier versions definitely had a design flaw with one side (think it was usually the right) failing then falling apart.
