    Basically I need recommendation for good quality not crazy expensive in ear headphones. Normal ear pieces don't stay in my ears. I'm hoping some of the experts here can help. Many thanks.
    Regards Boodles

    I thought i was alone! Always falling out of my silly non conforming ears!
    We should form a support group.

    I really like my Klipsh S-i earphones. They are in-ears, so they will stay in your ears (and come with I think 4 different size attachments), and they have the whole remote control deal going on for the iPhone. They cost about $99, so should run about €80 or so, if you manage to track them down.

    If you don't want those, you could always go with those sports earphones that clip unto your ears.

    Sennheiser cx300. You can get them cheap enough from Amazon or MyMemory.

    The Apple ones used to always fall out on me too, and then I put on the little furry cover bits that you get on other headphones.

    They make a huge difference. Try it if you have some old headphones knocking about with them. :)

    I was disappointed to read that the Sennheiser MM50 - essentially a CX300 with a mic - has a lousy build quality:

    (loads of 1 star reviews)

    I think that the only Sennheiser bud earphone with a mic, but perhaps someone knows of another?

    Bought these from this fella a few months ago and have been very happy with them since. Actually bought another pair for friend and a spare set for myself! They're normally €100.

    I'm fairly wary of buying headphones off eBay these days, as there's so many fakes floating around...

    Skullcandy ink'd!

    They are the best sounding in ear buds I have ever heard in the price range!

    They can be got on eBay for in or around 15euro, come in a variety of colours too!!

    I've tried the fuzzy covers and the clips over the ears, my problem is I've no traction (if ya get me) in my right ear so unless the earphone is an in-ear one it won't stay on! I'm making myself sound like a freak! Ta for all the recommendations though :D

    +1 on the Sennheiser CX 300-II (make sure its the II ones, they have better base imho).

    Great cheap earphones. Got for about €20 on Amazon.
