Need new ipod headphones (ear buds that = Senn PX100)

Can anyone recommend some white headphones for my ipod for no more than £20 that sound like the Sennheiser PX100's?

I don't want the any that fit over your head (Sennheiser px100)or any ear-canal ones (Sennheiser CX400) that you have to push right down into your ear. Just the normal fitment type that come with your ipod.:

Well if you are wanting the Sennheiser sound then a logical choice would probably be a Sennheiser ear bud...

Dont expect any earbud of that price to offer comparable SQ to a PX100. The drivers are simply too small to produce any meaningful bass without creating an air-tight seal in your ear, which they also will not do as they are open backed, and not designed to go in your ear.

That said, for the price I would recommend the Sennheiser MX range. If you can splurge a bit more, the Yuin stuff is meant to be good for the money.
