    Hey guys do you have any recommendations for the above for use with.

    I prefer in ear ones and had a great sensheiser (spelling I know but I am in a rush) set with my iPhone but their android offering didnt impress me and now I have lost them I am on look out for something better.

    Don't really want to spend mroe than £50 as I am not an audiophile and have a great propensity to lose headphones.

    Any suggestions?
    Thanks,
    -Fused

    :(

    I wanted to link to headphones musicradar featured yesterday costing an insane £1,725!

    I prefer the conventional headphones rather than in ear and I detest the on ear buds but the ones supplied with my iPhone surprised me. They sound pretty good. The ones below probably sound better...

    I am using Sony Bluetooth ones, very good, great not to have wires and very handy having all the controls built in, no fiddling with lockscreens or turning phone on, just work and when the phone kicks in it's well handy having mic built in.

    I'm using Jays one+ ( I think), they are ok I guess, they have an android app that lets you program what the button does, you can use to call/skip tunes etc etc which works quite well.

    If I'm brutally honest they do sound a bit flat to me but that depends what I plug them into.

    I use the ones that came with the phone, I have an s4 and find them to be pretty good.
    I tried my Sony headphones and found them to be a bit worse. They were entry level though.

    I love the cabling on them. I honestly think they sound a bit flat on my phone, they are great on my tablet though so maybe its just a setting.
