Recommend me some headphones

[Fifteen15]

I'm in need of some cheap headphones that are small enough to fit inside my helmet. I have a few pairs of decent headphones but they almost rip my ears off when I want to take my helmet on/off, and are really uncomfortable when it's on. I'm looking for some really cheap ones, below £10, and noise isolation would be a bonus.

Thanks

Sennheiser CX something or others (300's?) is what we have here

Good at blocking outside noise, comfy , good sound quality

Looking on eBay ther prices seem to have come down to 1p under your self imposed price limit, so thats my vote cast

Downside is that we have found the cable to be quite stiff and does induce some noise when the cable "rubs" or "flaps" about when walking, not noticed this when worn under a helmet and cable tucked under a buff/neck warmer

Rob

CX300s work well for me, but beware of fakes. I'd buy from Amazon or similar (and actually from Amazon, not a trader on there) myself.

Yup, cx300 II's are a safe bet. Mine are still going strong after a year of daily use.

The CX300s are good for close to your budget. As above, be wary of ebay, especially wary if they're less than a tenner. There are lots of fakes about.

However, I have found that they can fall out very easily, especially if a cable snags when you move your head. And it's a big pain to stop and take everything off to put it right.

The CX800 series is a big step up in sound quality and come with a fair few 'buds' so you can find and use the ones that fit your ears best and stay in best. The 'stalk' holds them more firmly in position with a helmet on and I've had no issue with it snagging when removing various helmets. Was out all day today with music throughout and never had to take my helmet off to reposition either earphone. I'd have had to several times over with the 300. Well worth the extra, especially at the Amazon discounted price.

Do these look any good? I'm not sure whether they're fake or not. I'm thinking not because they have over 300 reviews.

Is there anything similar (and preferably cheapish too) with an inline remote for iPhones? Apple headphones are shite and I'd like to ditch mine ASAP for something I could also use on the bike.

I was looking for some headphones earlier in the week for under £10 but to no avail so decided stay with these only £4 dearer.

Will add that I ordered them on friday night and were delivered this morning as well.

Even wore them under the helmet and never noticed
(was wondering why traffic sounded like photographs by nickelback)

You can't go wrong with AKG, very good makers of headphones. I had a pair of the CX300 II a couple of months ago, but they kept falling loose and really annoying me. Real pain in the ass, so I gave 'em to my brother. So then I bought some Philips headphones, yellow with the loop for around the ear. They stayed in better, but hurt like hell and left me with a numb ear that hurt when I touched it for ages. I'm now using Sennheiser which also loops. but the loops is moulded so you can bend it anyway you like to fit around your ear. Can't find the model name on 'em unfortunately!

What's the legality of wearing headphones?* I'd like a set with an inline volume control but always thought it'd be a grey area wearing them.

Those of you who are recommending Sennheiser CX 300 II's in this thread, are you talking about the cheaper (possibly fake) ones from Amazon or the more expensive (possibly real) ones from elsewhere?

I can buy these for £15 from Amazon or buy these from Argos for £30, but being from Argos I would assume they're the real deal.
