In ear headphones reccomendation

I need some help. I've been looking at getting some new in ears. I've had a senheiser cx300s for a while, and i recently lost the tip so I think rather than buy a new one I'd upgrade. I'll be using them in the gym, and I don't want £400 things! I did have a look at the Sure e2cs but all the info I've seen around in ears is from like 2004, and I'm sure things have changed since then.

Thanks guys

Kieron

Keiron,

The reason why the info on the e2c is old is that Shure have a new range out. The e2c having been replaced by the SE210.

Before anyone can give you any recommendation, we would need to know what price range you are looking at.

I'd go for some Westone UM1, they sound great and are very comfy with the foam tips. The UM2 are better but cost a lot more.

My price change is £50 MAX. I've been looking at Senheiser CX95s, they look quite good.

I have a pair of SE210, got them last year for £70 and they broke just below one earbud recently. Shure replaced the entire box Decent sound, make sure u encode at high bitrate.

Re: In ear headphones reccomendation

I had the Senheisers, they kept falling off my ears. I then bought the SE210, they didn't lock well either.
I am now using Etymotic Research ER4P.

I use them in the gym too and the main benefit there is that you do need good isolation headphones, due to the noisy environment.
Get them from ebay. They retail for £170 in the UK, you can get them for around £90.
