Cheap Headphone advice

I'm wondering if anyone can recommend a good quality pair of cheap headphones for around £10-15, I was thinking about these ones

Can anyone else recommend a good pair. Also does anyone know where i can get a 3.5mm jac converter for my Samsung D900.

Re: Cheap Headphone advice

try the Sennheiser CX300 from amazon.

i've brought three pairs from 'Rocco' and they've all check out to be genuine. there is ahuge flood of fake CX300's, and apparently the fakes are getting better.

check this info out first.

if you want 'headphones' then try the HD201's which are going for a song.

Re: Cheap Headphone advice

Thanks for your suggestion, is it worth the extra tenner or so for the Sennheiser than the ones i linked? Can anyone else comment on these pair as on the amazon review people have been giving them bad ones aswell as good ones. The kind i want are in-ear ones not 'headphones'.
EDIT: I think i might go for the CX 300's after reading a few review, i've seen them on play.com for the same price and i don't they would sell fakes would they? Now just to find the 3.5mm adapter.

Re: Cheap Headphone advice

In the budget range you mention the Sennheiser CX300 are the ones to go for. Several friends of mine have bought them and been well pleased especially when they see what I pay for my gear
