Hey guys, brought some sennheisers cx380 sports ii and the treble has finally battered me into submission. Any headphones you can recommend for BELOW £50. I know the usual suspects like shures etc but am especially interested in any bargains you might now of. To give you an idea i can get goldring gx200 for £20 - very good but dont last. I would like at least as good performance. Dont mind over ears but must work well with ipod and be very compact. Any suggestionts?? Big thanks in advance!

I am happy to recommend the over ear folding Sennheiser PX200s and I know others rate the open backed version, the PX100.

Look on ebay for shure versions, they are good quality headphones.

Save up and get something better - get a couple of hundred quid in your pocket and you'll do your portable music true justice.

Shaxos I saw the shure se115 for £60.00 in hmv last week! I use the se110's and think they sound really great with good bass once you get a good fit.
