Title: Earbuds / Headphones
Post by: JoeB361 on June 14, 2012, 09:47:48 PM
Im looking at buying some new earbuds (headphones, whatever people call them, But the in-ear type, like what you'd use for an iPod.)
Anyone know any good sound quality ones for under £30?
I've been looking at skullcandy ink'd 2.0's, but they have really mixed reviews, and im only seeing them sold in America.
So anyone know any other alternatives?
Cheers :)

I'll stick to my turtlebeaches :P Haha unfortunately they don't really fit an ipod, and wouldn't be too comfy in bed either :L

Guys, Joe needs earbuds/headphones for his ipod, not his PC.

Joe, go with these: http://www.amazon.co.uk/AKG-K315-Pebble-High-Performance/dp/B001F6ENGA/ref=dp_cp_ob_computers_title_0

or these: http://www.amazon.co.uk/AKG-K317-Headphones-Snow-White/dp/B001EP86NI/ref=pd_cp_ce_0

or these: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Sennheiser-Ergonomic-Earphones-Integrated-Control/dp/B0035JKJEU/ref=pd_cp_ce_0

If you don't mind spending almost 30 pounds on earbuds, I'd go with the last ones I linked. Otherwise stick with the first two options I suggested.


And btw I have the same combo Kris, best thing I ever spent my money on.

Kris: it sure is

Those earbuds you linked are way to expensive. He said under 30 pounds. For that kinda money I'd def go for some high quality earbuds from Sennheiser.
