Hi Guys.

 

I'm in need of some durable in-ear headphones. I've had two pairs of the Philips SHE8000 and both have broken when I've been jogging, cutting grass ( got caught on branches). I don't feel like they were overly stressed or pulled, and accidents happen. 

 

Any reccomendations. Guessing I need a pair with a thick cord.

 

Budget of around £40

 

 

Thanks

RE: Durable in-ear headphones

Bose ie2 are very durable and are very comfy,I was breaking a pair of headphones every month until I got My Bose and I have had them a year now and they are still like new,I use them at work every day and run with them in the evening.

Only problem is they retail at about £90 but I think you can pick them up on eBay for around  £50ish.

If not I had the hmv insurance on previous headphones it's only a couple of quid and if they break they will swap them for a new set or pay the difference for an upgrade,I must have done this 10 times and never had any issues with them being changed.
