Play.com sells quite a few decent headphones so it may be worth a look there, great prices too.

To be honest, I'm sure I saw a set of Shure or Ultimate Ears which now have this woven material finish, whereas they were just plastic / rubber when first released. Can't for the life of me find them now though.

Top end of my budget is £100, but would prefer to be spending in the £50-£60 range.

I'm a bit concerned about microphonics though, as I wouldn't want to hear wire noise whilst I'm walking around etc. I hadn't even heard of it till I started reading through this forum

Thanks everyone for the links so far! Much appreciated.

I had a pair of Ultimate Ears Triple.fi's for a while and cable noise was never a problem.

I can't help with the Shure's, but there are a whole load of people at head-fi.org who know much more than is healthy about earphones. Take a look and use the search facility.
