    Hey guys! :)
    So my old pair of headphones are dying on me and I was wondering where could I get a good pair of earphones, preferably the inner ear ones as my ears are awkward and I cant get normal ones to sit in right!

    I was thinking of going for skullcandy ones but im not sure, any advice? :)

    Thanks in advance

    Chill.

    Don't don't don't get skullcandy.
    They're overpriced and sound horrible, their lifetime guarantee is flakey to say the best and their cable's split far too easily. Steer well clear of them and their clones.

    The Soundmagic pl50 or Meelec do very good value for money and they've different sized tips so you're upping your chances of having a good fit.

    Here's a good place to start your research

    These: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Radius-RH-F31Y-Match-iPod-Nano/dp/B0028QGN7I/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1305012567&sr=8-1

    They don't look great and the match the colour to your nano business makes you think they are cheap rubbish but actually they sound incredibly good for the money.

    I bought a pair of the Meelec M6 which have 'very' positive reviews and cost about 50% more, and I bought these to give to my son. When I listened to the two pairs, I decided these just sounded better and gave my son the Meelec's :D

    The Meeelecs do come with more accessories such as a shed load of different tips and an airline plug adapter and a carrying pouch and I suspect the cord would be tougher.

    Cheer for the suggestion !! Will certainly look into it. Although I did actually pick up a very cheap pair of Kanen's for about 6 euro. Of course they're not the best in the world but I've heard good things. They are only for occasional use so I wasn't looking to spend over 20 quid on a pair. :)

    But when I go looking again, I'll probably go for a decent pair :)
