Wife doesn't like in-ear headphones - recommendations?

Getting the wife an Ipod, but she doesn't like the in-ear headphones. So I am looking at replacing them with something else. Any recommendations? Willing to spend up to £20.00.

Cheers
Gordie

Hi Mate,

a bit over budget but the Sennheiser PXC series are very good - start at around £40 though - i use the 250's which i think are great - the 150's are the entry level http://www.sennheiser.co.uk/uk/icm.n...able_noisegard
i'm sure other brands do similar cheaper...

Koss porta pro http://www.amazon.co.uk/Koss-Porta-P...2767858&sr=1-1

sennheiser px100 http://www.amazon.co.uk/Sennheiser-PX-100-PX100-Headphones/dp/B00009QH7P/ref=sr_1_2/203-4115647-2865517?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1172767986&sr=1-2


or if you can strecth to it, sennheiser px200. http://www.amazon.co.uk/Sennheiser-PX200-Closed-Mini-Headphone/dp/B000089GN4/ref=sr_1_1/203-4115647-2865517?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1172767947&sr=1-1

if you can go a couple of pounds ove £20 (plus P&P) these will be worth it. the RRP is £39.99 so you're getting a good deal.

PX100s are good with a pod. i use them all the time. seem very robust as well (just get chucked in the bag or stuffed in a pocket). no good though if a lot of background noise though eg on public transport, etc
v comfortable and nice and cheap but shop around......

Same with my wife - she hates ear buds, but the different size tips for the CX300s means she can chose the ones that are most comfortable .
