Interested to hear your views on the best ear bud head phones for all round sound quality, Looking to spend between £20 and £40

Well, for "best" sound, you want to be spending rather more than £20-£40 - the Shure SE530s, for example, are stunning, but they cost over £200...

In the price range you mention, your best bets are probably the Sennheiser CX-300, or the Sony MDR-EX71. If you can afford to stretch your budget a bit, the Shure E2 is available at about £50 online, and is likely to be a step up from those two.

http://www.headphone.com/products/headphones/ has some useful reviews and opinions.

Shure SE210 are good if you can stretch for them.

I would agree with that statement. Earbuds in the £100-200 mark have much more to offer than the budget offerings under £50. They are the only pair of ears you will ever have, look after them by using good quality kit that offers good quality sound.
