Alternative to CX300's

Having bought a pair of these on forum reccomendations, i just cant get on with them, They sound great, they are comfortable... but that cable noise is unbearable.

Any reccomendations for around £40?

Gaming edition is in black and the cable is slightly shorter than the normal white/clear ones. Just a preference of colour really

Re: Alternative to CX300's

I completley agree with you on the cable noise. I tried my friends and hated. I use a Soundwise G4 earphone its about £27 (if I remember correctly). I has really nice bass and good all round sound(and quiet cable). I found it through a review site called lordpercy, although he was actually reviewing another of their earphones
