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.

The last 3 pairs of Sony earphones I had have all broke. The first pair cost £35 so I expected them to last a LONG time. They were on their way back to Dixons a month later. Since then I've had 2 pairs of Sony earphones, both costing £18. They both lasted around 6 months before packing in. They were VERY good while they lasted but 6 months isn't really worth £18.

I have these phones too and they are indeed great.

Did anyone notice the floating MiniDiscs on Niddle's page?

Don't buy through that one though...

Ahahaha. Greedy little beggar, you define what penny pinching is. [URL]http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/B00008XYJL/026-1762844-8430813[/URL] for the "greed-free" version.

Buy the ones Niddle linked to, they're great, and the right earpiece is on a longer cable, meaning you can take it round-the-back-of-neck.
