Hi. I can recommend the Sennheiser PX-100. Here's a little detail followed by a link to Super Fi where you can find more information and buy. I did hear though that they were £5 cheaper from Argos so you might want to shop around. Sennheiser PX100 "If these don't make your MP3 player sound better, you need a new player". What HiFi Sound & Vision Awards 2006 Best Portable Headphones under £50 "The PX-100s deliver class-leading detail, pace and bass reach. They also fold up compactly for easy storage". The Sennheiser PX-100 is an open design with a balanced and very detailed sound, transparent treble and a fast precise response across all audio frequencies. Their foldable design and handy carry case make them great for holidays or the daily commute.
