If you want I am selling the SONY MDR-EX81 brand new unboxed for only £20 on ebay! They retail for £35 and are very good.

Or like the guy above who I think advised me also on the Sennheiser CX300 get those cheapest on ebay around £35 also as they retail for £40 and the bass is awesome! very punchy and it fits in the ear really good too!

These look quite uncomfortable because they look very big in the pictures, are they actually ok? Also, do they stay in your ear or fall out alot? I want some for the gym to work with ipod video. I find the standard ipod headphones uncomfortable and have very poor bass.

(sorry, not trying to hijack the post)

I ordered straight from their site - no delivery charge :D

@ dashfield - i cant imagine this type of earphone being the best for working out - i'd look at the Koss KSC-75 instead which IMO would be far more suitable.

The Koss look like they would get uncomfortable after a while, do they?
