In Ear Headphones up to £75ish. Not done great picking them myself

Hi

I’ve looking to get a new pair of in ear headphones.
I had a paid of Denon ones (can’t remember the model number but were about £40), I managed to lose these and bought a pair of Sennheiser ones (again I can’t remember the cost but were £25 from Richer Sounds about 3 months ago), i then bought a pair of Shure SE110 but am fed up with them already.

My findings with each were

Denon – Sounded pretty good and had good connection with my iphone. Though kept slipping out of my ear – put this down to the weight of the extension cord pulling them out of my ear.
Sennheiser – Sounded better than the denons and fit much better due to just one simple cable from connector to earphones. Didn’t block out sound as well as the Denons though. Poor contact with Iphone
Shure – Terrible iphone connectivity so sound is very quiet and often cuts out. Cable extension very heavy which pulls earphones out of my head and has no “round the neck” style cable which doesn’t help when only having one earphone in. Doesn’t block sound out very well even with range of fittings. When in quiet environment and sat down with no movement the sound is very good if a little low on volume are these tough to drive?

So I’m on the lookout for another pair. Budget is up to about £75. I think the main priority is for it to had a straight cable with no messing about with extensions. If anyone has experience with iphones it would be helpful as I know the connector in them is notoriously bad.

Any ideas?
Cheers
