comfy in ear/round ear phones?

My wife has discovered mp3 players (mine) and likes to borrow it to go to the gym. She is complaining (as they do) about how uncomfortable the in ear supplied phones are. She has asked me to source some comfy in ear style, or the type that wrap around the back of the ear. I stress, she that must be obeyed, needs comfy gym phones for her ikkle wikkle luggy wuggs. Not bothered about high quality as she wont be taking that much interest unless its shopping or corrie-norrie. (sarcastic enough?)

Re: comfy in ear/round ear phones?

PRICEY! CRIKEY! £150. My mp3 player cost £50 duty free. I was looking something in the £10-20 mark. If it were me, and I do appreciate the finer sounds in life, then I might stretch to that, altho my sennheisers do just fine. She just wants some soft plugs that will not give me grief when she comes home moaning about the hard in ear phones. Maybe I should ditch the wife and keep the phones.
