Can anyone recommend me....

[largesack]

some decent headphones for my ipod.... i have some cx300's at the moment which are absolutely fine....when your not moving about, for use in portable audio they absolutely useless.

They maybe good quality but when all you can hear is the cable rustlling against your clothes....or worse still your footsteps when walking, their quality becomes academic. I've often wondered how other people cope if they have spent significantly more than i did (£27) on these "in ear" phones, imagine being on a treadmill at the gym

Any ideas ??

The only ones I can get on with at the gym are the ones with the large plastic band on them (eg http://www.amazon.com/Sony-MDR-W08L-Vertical-In-The-Ear-Headphones/dp/B00005N6KG/ref=pd_bbs_4?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1199301380&sr=8-4) . They don't fall out and aren't adversely affected by sweat. And they're cheap, very comfortable, with a decent sound quality. The bad side is that they are very bulky and are annoying as you can't have one earpiece in.

I think anything that doesn't have the cord straight into the earplugs should be OK to stop cord noise. Basically they're acting as an expensive version of the tin can "phone" you could make as a kid. To this end, I would have thought that keeping the right-angled plug that older headphones used to have would help, though it seems to be the fashion now to have a socket going straight from the connector direct into the plug.
