I need new earphones for on the bike as the other half managed to break them recently (yes we share earphones that’s how much in love we are).

I had skull candy in ear headphones and they were good but never had a volume/mute control or skip function. this was annoying especially when you were trying to shout at some bint who had just cut you up.

After a set that has these features but ones that arent £40!!!!!

I see - I thought you meant you didn't want cheap ones that were going to break! wink

I can't help you there.

What do you use them on? I've got the skullcany iPhone ones and they do come with the same button options as the normal Apple one (actions depending on the number of 'clicks').

Aye-Phone, the skullcandy ones I have don’t have a remote, as I said I don’t really want to be spending £40 on headphones but I might need to.

It would appear you’d need to be Bergerac to find a decent set with the remote for under £30

Sennheiser CX-300.
£20 a set. I use 'em hard and they live about two years typically.

i think skullcandy are a misse pile of st. went through 3 pairs in about 6 months. It appeared to be the wire inside the rubber sheath (t1tter) splitting at the headphone jack.... Bought a pair of senhesiers with an l-shaped jack and no such problem!

These are incredible but rather on the pricey side...
