Help choosing an earphone plase.

I need to buy an entry earphone with a budge of £30ish.

The earphone will be mainly used to watch film and listens to music (50% pop, 20% Piano plays and 30% Jazz) from either PC or my mobile (HTC Hero). I am guessing I don't need big bass sound but accuracy is more important? Noise isolation is important as I'll use it on bus.

I've managed to boil down to 3 earphones but still have no idea the main difference between this three.

- Sennheiser CX 500 (£13.99)
- Sound magic PL30 (£29.99)
- JAYS s-JAYS (£37.99)

Can anyone please advice? THX A LOT~~~

Re: Help choosing an earphone plase.

hi try looking at the radiopaq jazz earphones i purchased mine from ebay i think the company was gizmo-world or something 39.99 i have to say i am really impressed as owner of sennheiser ie8, ultimate ears superfi 5 pro and numerous sony earphones i find these to be the best value for money i have spent try searching for some reviews i think the retail price is about 60 pounds well worth checking out...cheers

Get the Sennheiser cx300 (rather than 500) they will save you money over the other two and will be fine for your requirements.
