Cheap, Daycent In-Ears

    Hey there, I'm in dire need of a cheapish pair of in ear headphones, my lovely klipsch set just broke beyond all repair, and I'm a little short on cash.

    I don't feel like scrimping for another pair, and I know nothing about headphones: This is where you lovely, handsome, nice-smelling people come in.

    Which daycent in-ear headphones are available for ~€20-25? I'm not too fussed about sound quality, as long as it doesn't sound like the music is being played through a 20m long pipe. Durability would be nice, as I'm going through headphones at a quick pace lately, and this is partially why I don't feel like spending too much again.

    I'm sure you intelligent, friendly, dashing folk will be able to help me solve my problem. Thanks in advance, I already know you'll all be so kind as to help me, as that's the sort of wonderful people you are.

    Wrap them and keep them in a case when not in use. Earphone "durability" is for the most part a fallacy and rather comes down to user habits.

    +1. people expect that you can wrap earphones around mp3 player then stick the lot in your pocket. The connections to the earphones will be tugged/stressed as will the jack connection at other end. This will break your earphones sooner or later. Wrap earphones on their own and put them in a soft pouch (case not really required) - doesn't take up any more space than the earphones on their own really. Pouch stops other things snagging off them in your pocket / rucksack etc.
