    Anything by Sound Magic will fit the bill.

    sound magic pl30's can be found for around £15 and are better than many earphones costing £50. Go look up some reviews.

    If you go for a pair of Senns be careful where you buy them. SO MANY fakes around.

    how did they break ? normally when my headphones break, its the wires next to the jack that break, and 9/10 they can be re-soldered really cheaply
    thats how i normally fix mine :lol:

    Wire completly snapped :/ Snagged on my belt buckle when I was pulling out them out from under my jacket. I dunno how it snapped so easily, but it'll be alright. They wern't the best earphones i've owned

    I got a set of Creative EP630's a few years ago - they're very cheap and I think they sound great.

    The only concern people had a few years ago when I got them was that they broke easily. Well, mine have been going for almost 4 years now without any problems at all. :)

    If I was replacing mine again, I'd go for another set of CX200s over the CX300IIs I now have - they're more unruly (read: springier) and the jack 'neck' is larger than it needs to be.

    These are my personal cheapo in ear picks. I have ~3 pairs back when they had a 1/2 price sale. Great for the gym.

    PL30's are considered much better in the majority of reviews and are cheaper.
