In ear headphones £20 budget

Hi i want some decent earphones, just for listening to music through one ear while i'm at work, i need the other ear incase someone needs me! Therefore sound insulation is not a big deal.

Do i go seinheiser with the cx 300, or 500? Or sony?

Thanks

I have the sennheisers and I am veryhappy with them. A few mates have tried them and bought sets also as they were impressed. Check out play.com as they are normally cheapest there.

Andy what do you think of these?
Sennheiser CX 300 II Precision Noise Isolating: Amazon.co.uk: Electronics & Photo

worth the extra £10 over the original cx-300's :S

I heard Denon were v.good maybe i should look at a pair of them. If not i'll prob treat myself to a pair of those

Do u know what the cx-500's are like in comparison to the 300's?

Play.com (UK) : Sennheiser CX 300 In-Ear Headphones (Black) : Electronics - Free Delivery

They get even cheaper.

I'm not really sure what the differences are between the mark I and II but to be honest if your only using 1 ear its not going to be a huge difference.

What will they be plugged into?

Just my 2p because i know that loads of people like the CX300's but i found that they became very uncomfortable very quickly.
