Sennheiser Dilemma

Hi people

after a brief search for Gym friendly ear phones I've swayed towards the Sennheiser range.
Now, I don't do a great deal of running so I've narrowed it down to a couple from the In - ear range.

Either the Sennheiser CX 300 for £17:99 (saving of £22, 55% apparently) http://www.play.com/Electronics/Elec...s/Product.html from play.com or the 'twist and fit' Sennheiser MX 90 VC - £29:99 http://www.play.com/Electronics/Elec...s/Product.html

My dilemma is should I go for the more expensive snazzy twist style?
Or are the CX 300 more than adequate for the job and a bargain not to be missed?

thanks for your time

I'm very happy with my CX300's if that is any help. But what is the deal with 'twist and fit' for the MX90's? How are they worn? Are they similar to earbuds?

don't know TBH. So I've opted for the CX300 and saved a few quid in the process

Re: Sennheiser Dilemma

for around £29 i would have gone to jaben.net and got a pair of Crossroads MylarsOne X3's, far better than the senn's.
