Non in ear headphones for iPhone around £100, suggesitons??

My previous pair of headphones where UE Pro 5, in ears, which to be honest, I didnt like either the sound, or feel of them... I really question the sound quality of in ear headphones, and always felt they are lacking something...

The headphones that come with the iphone, which dont sound too bad.. always fall out of my ears.. Im obviously lacking the flappy bit of skin in th eear that keeps them in on most people!!!

I think the only opiton for me is to get some closed headphones... but as I will be using them with my iPhone, they need to be relatively low profile, and not look like I have 2 bookshelf speakers strapped to my head...

I thought wraparound/neckband would be good, but they only seem to be available in the lower end of the market...

Just wondered if their where any sets out their that would be an obvious choice...

Thanks

Not quite a couple of bookshelves speakers - more like bookends maybe, but consider Bose TriPorts for that lind of money.

I have found them to be lightweight, comfortable and with a very reasonable sound (for me).

If you buy then from the Applestore on line (or QVC) you can test them out at home and have them collected for return if you don't like them
