OK so I am going to get some new ear phones and will be used in work and while I pound the streets of Newport getting my run on.
I am after some quality earphones at a reasonable price. I don't really want to spend more than £40

I have previously owned:

Skullcandy 2010's
Sennheiser CX-300s
Beats Audio things which I have now and are not great

I have been considering:

Sennheiser CX 300 Mark II Precision
Skullcandy TITAN

But I am open to other examples of good earphones that will sound grea and have good sound drowning capabilities

Definitely Beats. Some retard overheard some idiot at Best Buy say they were great.

i like harry potter and oversized watches and i fully endorse this post ^^^

for £40, why not stick with the CX300s? or any of them in fact... did you break them?

Not sure how much they go for in the UK, but I always recommend Audio-Technica ATH-M50. I use them at work, and they are awesome all around great headphones. If you want to eek out every bit of awesome from the headphones, you'll want a USB DAC/AMP combo. I recommend this: http://www.headfonia.com/topping-d1-mark-ii/

Good luck.

Beats and Skullcandy are both shit. Sennheisers sometimes carry decent models (they typically have nice headphones) but I haven't tried the CX300.

I'm using a pair of Shure SE310's (current model SE315) and love them though they are about $300. Maybe you can find the SE215 for just a bit over your kind of price range (~$100 Canadian). Even the cheaper SE215's are fully recommended, you'll love them. I was using the same tiered but much older Shure E2C's before I replaced them with the SE310.

If that's still too much, try the Ultimate Ears UE350 ($50), decent sound for cheap. Very well reviewed - good sound, nice fit.

If you're really really broke, Monoprice 8320 are $10 and still probably better than Beats/Skullcandy.

why not MDR-V150's ? or better

i got used to them over my Elite-810's

Earphone, not headphone.

SoM is the real deal when it comes to stupidity.

at least i ain't a fag

That must have made it hard to deal with when you were getting plowed on a daily basis in the joint.

Lol sounds...

Yeah I broken them sadly...I broke the Skullcandy ones too and I am using the Beats at the moment which are not great phones at all. Luckily i Didnt pay for them so I am not too pissed but they are enough of an issue for me to want to replace them. I was checking the CX 550 II's out, but they are too expensive given how I use them and how long I expect them to last.

Ultimate Ears UE 350 vi will be ordered I think - managed to find them for £25 delivered

Thanks dude

Since yours broke you should be looking for something more durable. DJ headphones, they sound good and many pairs are made for durability. Get a pair of Sony's with neodynium magnets

While that's true, and I love my 15 year old Sony headphones, why are so many people suggesting headphones instead of earphones which is what he asked about?

Most people call them both the same thing. The ones that go in your ear are sometimes called "in-ear headphones".

You only call them the same thing if you are a moron and have absolutely no fucking clue what you are talking about.

Headphones are a pair of small loudspeakers that are designed to be held in place close to a user's ears.... The in-ear versions are also known as earphones or earbuds.

"In-ear" earphones are only those that are designed to fit directly into the ear canal.

Only a moron quotes something saying "versions" and "also known as" without knowing what either of those things means. ...

Truthiness is interdasting.
