    I need a pair of headphones for listening to music in work, just anything better than the truly awful ones I'm wearing now. Any suggestions? They really don;t have to be anything fantastic quality - anything half decent but cheap will do. Oh and if I could get ones with a microphone for skype that would be even better

    I think Sennhesier ones are good for the mic included.

    Have a pair of Logitech headphones with a mic - the sound is actually pretty good out of them, but they're not very comfortable to wear for more than an hour. Also have a cheap pair of Sennheisers - HD201 - dead comfy to wear for hours, but the sound is sh1te....

    Just can't win with cheap headphones.

    There's a headphones forum isn't there? This thread looks like it is a load of info for you.

    Didn't think you meant in-ear Zascar - or did you?

    I wouldn't necessarily equate non-dj to in-ear.

    No not in ear they suck, just small comfy over ear ones.

    There are some great in-ear ones for £15 recommended in Stuff magazine, only beaten to the no.1 spot by a £250 set!

    Check them out here:

    I saw that alright, just said I'd post them up for anyone interested. Gonna pick up a pair soon, all my other in-ears are broken!

    Mine are currently starting to give out but earbuds are consumables and I have no issue after maybe 6 months of good daily usage and abuse.

    They do deals regularly, do a search in Bargain Alerts and you'll see what I mean :)

    When you get them play around for the bud with the right fit. The sound is really dependant on correct positioning :)

    Ordering some white ones from Amazon now, you just have to try each retailer and see if the order goes through as half of them don't deliver here but the others seem to..

    Remember to ensure they are the MKIIs, they are reportedly better:)
