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

I'm still unsure as to what to get to be honest.

At the moment I'm leaning towards the Shure 210 and Ultimate Ears 220vi (however, these still aren't available).

Have seen lots of talk about earphone cable, so would where possible prefer to get a set which has a strong cable, covered with a woven material. 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.

Thanks for the advice, and I know how well the old search button comes in, thanks
