In ear headphones recommendations

I'm looking at getting a decentish pair of in ear headphones for when I'm at the gym and riding my mountain bike. When I'm at home or walking somewhere I have a pair of these:

And they sound really good but they're a bit too loose for running or rowing in and obviously I can't get them on under a mountain bike helmet.

I'd like decent sound quality obviously but fit is important too. I've had in ear ones before that got uncomfortable after an hour or so and if they're too loose they'll just fall out of my ears when I'm doing anything. Others I've had were terrible with bass frequencies or have just been flimsy and useless and have fallen apart within weeks.

The kicker here is I don't really want to spend that much on them. I'd like to spend £10-15 although if it's going to make a monumental difference I could go up to £20 at an absolute maximum.

I'd be plugging them into my iphone if that make any difference.

I'd say cx300's at that price. Got mine for £15 from ebay, very good quality for the money. They're a nice comfy fit, and will go under your lid fine. They also stand up to abuse pretty well, still going strong after 5/6 months or so. Thumbs Up

+1 for the CX 300's, they're pretty decent for their price.

Because of that I thought I would invest in a more expensive Sennheiser and bought the CX 880 but I was seriously disappointed.

CX 330 Thumbs Up

CX 880

CX300's are the mutts like but yeah fakes everywhere! And you wont get a warranty from anyone but Amazon or an authorised reseller.

To get these at £20 I would call fake but there must be some real ones out there.

If you go to the Seinnheiser page a reseller has them at £43.

I have had a fake pair, they sound good but I also have a real pair and they sound totally different to me.
