You can't go wrong with Bose

I've spent fortunes on in-ear headphones before with mixed results.

I wouldn't touch Sony with a barge pole after spending £100 on some of there noise reduction ones, no better than ones i'd bought for a tenth of the price

my favorite one i've bought to date are my current Sennheiser at around £45 I think. The bass is crisp

If I was gonna spend big again, I think i'd get some moulded.

If you buy the Bose let me know how you get on

On Thursday I found myself unexpectantly (long story) at Standsted airport facing a flight to Croatia via Ryanair, now if you have ever suffered Ryanair then you will know that you are just about to be bombarded with 3 hours (short haul) of captive audience sales pitch, everything from J2O orange juice to their 'Luck of the Irish' scratch cards. Knowing what i was in for I checked my pockets for headphones... to my horror I remembered leaving them on the kitchen worktop (my other half was rushing me as per usual, so i forgot:mad2.

Anyway I head to Dixon's to ease my pain. I browse over the offerings and set my eyes on what I assume will be my match, some Monster Turbine Pro in-ear's.... Jesus Christ!!!! £207!!!! Play.com (UK) : Monster Turbine PRO High Performance In Ear Headphones / Copper : Electronics - Free Delivery maybe I should try my luck with the scratch card! I rein myself in and see the Bose in-ear's at £67... Buy BOSE IN-EAR HEADPHONES | In-ear headphones - Specification | Comet a quick check on google and it comes up with £80 so I go with these.... I get on the plane and with smugness and I feel sorry for my fellow passengers for what they are about to endure:lol: I proudly unwrap my new babies and slumber back into my seat (OK it's Ryanair so I shoehorn myself)... turn on the music and.... man the sound is bad! the treble is muddy and the base is dull... must be the settings on the iphone.. no matter how much i tried the sound could not be improved. In all my life I have never heard a Bose product sound bad. You assume the name sounds for quality and you trust that any product they put out will stand up but not in this case. So I take back my words, you really can go wrong

I will be taking these back and getting a refund

eBay, £4 tops. use 'em all day long and they're brilliant. You can loose a pair every now and again at that price to

Have you seen the mega expensive headphones in Comet at the moment.....
Some sweet looking ones from Monster Cable - DR DRE designed ones and Lady Gaga ones too......look sweet but the only time I use them is when cycling (mostly in torrential rain) and I'm not sure I could justify messing them up.....tempting though.
