Earphones ~£40

[kristaps552]

Hi fellow forum audiophiles and other types of philes,

I am in a search of earphones under £40 as my sennheiser cx300ii recently broke after a year of abusive use.(well somewhat)
I really liked my sennheisers and I wouldn't mind buying them again, but I am willing to go another route, so I am asking you guys.
Apparently the Soundmagic E10 are really great and they're within my budget but I am not too sure about their durability, then again,

maybe you can convince me that they're as good or better than the sennheisers. 


So please halp.

 

I live in the uk, btw.

Cheers.

 

EDIT: I will only use them to play music through my Nexus 5

RHA M350 or M450i if you want the Apple control thingy. UK based company and they sound better than the Klipsch S4 in my opinion.

I am using the Sennheiser CX 250 Earphones right now and they are awesome and affordable.

I am in no need to use the inferior apple technology.

Anyhow, I will check these out anyways.

Arent the cx 250's worse than the cx 300ii's?

"Worse" Maybe, but they aren't bad or anything. Could aswell go for the CX 300ii's but they're more expensive.

I am satisfied with my CX 250s.

They are in my budget though, and I have had them and they're great, but I always want to try something different, and try to find the best product for the money I am willing to spend.

Yes I understand, buying the same product but new doesn't really satisfy. But I don't know man: I'm not really into earphones;

I like the JBL J33, review in signature http://www.amazon.co.uk/JBL-J-33-Premium-Earphones/dp/B0096JANTO/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&qid=1392911558&sr=8-5&keywords=j33

Unfortunately I am banned from amazon, and on ebay they're outside my budget.

I will check other retailers though, because these have caught my interest.

Btw, my sennheisers broke in an unusual place, not where the connector is, but where the wire splits to go to each individual headphone.

Sennheiser earphones simply have shoddy cables. Even my IE 60's cable cracked after a few months of use.

So what do you recommend?

Lets say under 70 american dollars, as you Americans often struggle with other currencies. (no offence)

Currencies don't translate, my friend. To make a recommendation, one has to look at local prices, there is simply no other way.

 

The recommendations above look good (I was the one who convinced Lauen to try the JBL's in fact), but I'm not a big IEM guy.

SOUND MAGIC E10's HANDS DOWN! best in that price point go read the reviews.

hmmm durability seems very good i've been using mine for about 3 months now

The cable is quite sturdy and the texture feels nice.

I also own a pair of the black and rose gold ones
