Also, my little internet monkeys, I need a new pair of earphones.
It was a sad day today, you see. My rather good ones (lots of music goes into ear, little background noise goes into ear, little music goes out from ear) have borked.

So, I need:

In-ear ones.
That are good.
And cost probably £25 max.

Round-back-of-neck ones, if they actually make them otherwise anymore. And no crappy clippy bits. An volume thinger on the wire would also be nice.

Onwards. Ever onwards.
I love you all, from the bottom and the heart.

I concur, superb earphones.

Had mine for about 6 months. Use them every time I go to the gym. Bass is superb. Essential really.

They just seem to pack up after a few months. The sound in one of them goes and then eventually the other one.

Jeeeesus. What are you doing with them? Mine have had some pretty heavy wear and tear, being used most moringing and evenings on packed public transport and have outlived my last two MP3 players...

I got a pair of cheap £10 Phillips ones, they seem ok to me and stick in the ear very well. Well not my left ear because I think it’s slightly mutated. But it stick in my right ear like its held in with glue. Don’t know the model but they are red.

Yupyup, those'll do.
Look nice.

I needed them today on the completely crammed bus where the noise level + general oppressive slightly-damp-after-breif-rainfall got almost too much. That, and a couple a gays sat behind me insisted on discussing their sexual experiences in full detail.
The the twitching started,

Never had a problem with Sony 'phones. I'm only on my second pair because I lost my first - which I later found :D

This is true. I'm actually on my third pair, but keep on using them because they're full of audio goodness.
