Best in-ear headphones for around £25, €28 or $30

Just letting you know, you posted this twice. Please close one!

This is really neat. I've been using it for a while.

For on the cheap, the JVC HA-FX40 are pretty good

I bought these a few weeks ago. I haven't had any problems with them yet. I've never worn earbuds before so I don't know how they compare to others, but I read a bunch of reviews on headfi and another forum and decided on these.

Best bang for the buck!

Brilliant timing for this thread. Yesterday I picked up my headphones and they just fell apart in my hands!

hi sound audio popo or moshi audio vortex... that is if you love bass.

Try the skullcandy candy dandys

Save up and get a better pair if you really enjoy your music.

I was using a pair of Sony earbud type ones (can't remember which 'model'), but I lost the rubber bit from one ear piece. To listen to music over background sounds takes either 1 ear piece in (comfy) and volume up full (not good for your ears & hurts after a while) or 2 earpieces in (not comfy, 1 without rubber bit starts hurting quite quickly) and still need a reasonably high volume to compensate for the 'gaps' around the ear-piece with the missing rubber bit.

I then picked up a pair of Sennheiser HD 407s (over-ear type ones, but with a standard headphone jack) and they are awesome, given I paid ~£20. They cut out a reasonable amount of background noise through simply covering your ear so don't need them turned up as loud, they are quite comfy but I find that they can slide on my head some of the time and after a while my ears get a bit warm in them. They have also survived being chucked in a bag for carrying around uni most days (along with books / coats etc.). As to music quality, I'm no expert, but I'd say you'll struggle to find better at that price. Mine also get a lot of use whilst gaming, especially late at night so I don't disturb my house mates.

If you don't mind having over-ears ones, I'd recommend the 407s.

"In-ear headphones" are actually called earphones. Anyways, try these or these. The latter comes with a speaker thingy or something.

MEElectronics M9 or VSonic GR99

I know that's going overboard a bit, but A-Jays Two are awesome. Nice sound, good looks and a tangle-free cable.

the A-Jays Four is awesome

If you can get a little higher, I'd recommend Sennheiser CX-300 II. Here in Italy they cost a little less than 40€, maybe in other countries they are cheaper.
