My iPhone headphones have died in one ear (well they were Sennheiser earbuds). Been looking round shops all afternoon but can't seem to fnd the right mix of features - ideally I'm looking for:

- Good sound quality (obviously) - I play a wide range of music types inc classical and jazz
- Good at blocking out external sounds (and also that won't bleed sound and annoy people) - I mainly use these on the train to work
- Won't fall out easily - some earbuds just don't fit well and are always falling out or coming loose - however I'm not sure if the alternatives would be as good at blocking out sounds or stopping sound annoying others = tried taking my open backed Sennheiser 650's on a long train journey once and it was no good as they annoyed everyone else even if they were great for me - would closed be any good?
- Inline volume/track control would be a bonus
- Not sure about active noise cancelling ones - does it affect the music? Are they more bulky to carry round?

I'm enjoying my Skullcandy... um, what are they called? Ah -- Full Metal Jackets. If you don't need the inline mic you can get the similar (identical?) Titans for substantially less. The FMJs seem to be made for bass emphasis, which isn't my thing, but I never turn them up very loud* so it doesn't get obnoxious. Other than that they're comfortable, fit my ears well, and produce good, clean sound.

P.S.: I use them with a Droid X. Work great with iPhones too.

First of all, I have to put a disclaimer here that I work for Westone.

That said, I went to work there because I fell in love with their in-ear-monitors and earphones.

My Sony bumpin buds are giving out. For $16 I was pretty happy with them but I'm certainly open to suggestions under $90

These, and none else: http://www.hifiheadphones.co.uk/soundma ... k-red.html

...absolutely mental for the price, look nowhere else! The E10S are the Android/iPhone equivalent.
