    Play have a deal on Sennheiser MXL 60 Street II Headphones for €6.49 delivered. You may have to use the E1RE postcode trick or BT1 1AA to get them delivered. I ordered a couple of pairs myself recently and they arrived no problem. Very good sound excellent for Ipod's etc.

    woidi thanks but those are not in-ear buds, I hate the old style ones

    Anyone having problems with these earphones not lasting very long? (eg one ear failing after a few weeks?).

    Maybe it's just me, but my iTouch seems to eat earphones every few weeks no matter what make. :(

    Orange pilled.

    yep thats why I am buying another set ;)

    got about 10 months from my present pair (CX300-II) probably the longest to last me in a while so I am buying another set.

    How do you use the E1RE trick. Do you say your from the UK and put in E1RE into the postcode?

    That's it exactly! If you've bought CD's, dvd's before off them you will be better setting up a new account (different e-mail address). Just set the country selector to UK but make sure you enter your full location and Country in the form, you can keep your name the same so it would be

    Mr/s Hairy Nipple
    47 Hairsute Lawn
    Nipplestown
    Co, Dublin, Ireland
    United Kingdom (they put this bit in)
    E1RE


    Sometimes the delivery time are longish so don't panic. I've done it this way for many many things and I haven't had one go missing yet!

    I've mine over two years now, pre version 11 ones, and no matter how often they snag on something or get reefed from my ears they still work perfectly. I'm thinking now though that I should have a replacement pair to hand for when they do eventually die.

    Steer clear of Ebay, nothing but fakes there:

    Thanks Woidoi,

    They are now priced €14(typical!). Do you think they worth that anyways? or can anyone see anything any better for that price?

    Cheap enough not to worry about leaving them anywhere and grand sound quality. Pretty comfortable too. Free P&P.

    so does that mean you only pay the UK delivery rate rather than the Europe rate if they offered that also?

    Do they still offer to reimburse 50% of the price if you break them through abnormal wear and tear? Because if so that's a serious money making scheme right there!
