Headphones very quiet, any ideas why? And possible recommendations for replacements

I've had a pair of creative in ear canal headphones for a year or so but when i put them in/on the other day they seemed really quiet. They had a good seal but even with full volume were only just audible. They have been sat in a drawer for a couple of months now, could that be anything to do with it? Any fixes people can think of? Or do I just need to splash out on a new pair? If so, what would you recommend? I'm planning on traveling this summer so I want a pair that are comfortable for long train journeys and they need to not be too expensive in case I lose them. Absolute max budget of around £50
