Best Earphones under £30

[SimplyChi]

Hi guys. Looking for a new pair of earphones preferably under £30. Inline mic/controls would be useful but not essential. Any recommendations please?

I had a pair of CX300. It sounded nice, build was ok, it fits in my ear, only problem was that the headphone jack wore off and then that was the breaking point for those headphones. I think some other person on the forums had this problem aswell, in the same spot, so I don't recommend you getting that.

That's the CX 300 II precision earphones from Sennheiser
but if you're a bass lover

MDR - XB50AP from Sony could really do the trick for you.

Note : Sennheiser earphones are notorious for less durability on their jacks so buyer beware!

Dont know how these compare quality wise to those, but the AKG earbuds that came with Samsung S8 phones (that aparently would otherwiuse retail for $99) can be had for $16 or less on ebay. I will not provide a link, as is forum rules (though that will be updated from what I hear). I have these as they came with my S8, and actaully bought a second pair from ebay and they are genuine replacements. 

 

Link to Samsung's website (dont pay the $99 though)

Funny you say this. I'm looking for a pair to replace those. I lost mine at a BBQ and was wondering whether to get a new pair of those or some others from a known brand.

The Sennheisers seem nice but headphone jack might be an issue as I plan to use with phone so I would be constantly plugging and unplugging. Also keeping in my pocket might not be feasible with those. Thank still

I'll pm you the link I bought from. They were at my door in three days even though I got free ground shipping.
