tom,Creative do a set of good ones which are called something weird like Auvana, or Orvana. Fit very snug and have worked well for me in situations where there's a lot of ambient noise. They're about forty quid.

They come with three different sizes of rubber tips which fit into the ear, so it is important to try each size to see which suits you. But it is the sound which is amazing. The depth is wonderful and the whole experience is far far better than most large phones. The cable still tangles, but I would recommend the Bose in ear phones. I know many people hate in ear phones, but the sound of these was all I had hoped they would be. I could not afford the £270 for the Bose headphones, but these make my Iriver mp3 sound really good.

My question is, I now see them priced from twenty pounds up to over a hundred pounds. Has anyone bought a pair of these expensive ones, and if so are they worth the money. I seem to spend most of my time untangling the knots in my ones everytime I want to use them. Cheers Tom.
