Best headphones on a £20 - £30 budget

Hi, im looking for a new pair of headphones for my ipod video, im currently still using the white ipod headphones that came with my ipod mini which i got about 3 years ago

I dont want to spend too much money,im on a budget of around £20 - £30

Ive seen many good reviews for the CX300, which are £17 on amazon. Ive also heard good things about the CX400 which are a little over £30 on amazon

So i was wondering is there a big difference between the two, and is there any other headphones that are better in this price range

i only want to buy in-ear headphones

thanks in advance

Go for the best you can afford... The CX300 are very good, the CX400 sould be better, and have a carrying pouch, symmetrical cable, extra cord...

Hey - I don't know whether you've already bought something, or these are too expensive, but I made a similar thread which returned these results:

Link.

They are excellent.

Beyerdynamic DT-231 is my standard recommendation in that price range.

"Contrary to what the text below my name would have you believe, I neither am, nor have, a "Prominent Member"."

Sorry to go slightly off topic, but I always loved that signature wherever I have seen it

Well done.
