You can't go wrong with ether Shure or Sennheiser IMO. |

@AndyD777 + 1 Your post came in whilst I was writing the essay below.
Obviously the 3.5mm Jack means your spoilt for choice.
As a rule though I would recommend Sennheiser, and they have cans to suit all budgets. I love my old PMX100 folding headphones, although at 6 years old the foam really needs replacing:

I recently invested in some of the noise cancelling CX300s and whilst they are brilliant when sat on a train/plane/bus, I do find that there's a bit of an echo/noise produced by them when walking, so I am still holding on to the old foldy ones for everyday.
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Sennh[....]ctronics&qid=1270740389&sr=8-1
I personally think both of these offer good value, but as with anything spending more should get you even better results. If money really is no object I wouldn't mind betting that the Shure noise cancellers are pretty good as their music gear Mics etc are pretty much a reference point within the industry.

As with anything though, and perhaps more than most, there is a large degree of personal preference involved so I really would recommend you try before you buy, but Sennheiser are generally a very well thought of, specialist brand..Lastly if the hole in your pocket is £250 size then Bowers & Wilkins have just made their first pair of Headphones, these guys are British Hi-Fi legends, you probably know them for the Zeppelin iPod dock..

Go enjoy trying some different styles out, and let us know what you buy and how happy you are with them?

if you like bass, sure, go sennheiser, the likes of the cx300,cx400 or cx500. if you want premium sound, look at their ie7/ie8. fantastic earphones. but very pricey...
whats ya budget se-naz... theres defo better quality to be had in the price range of the cx500 for example

I have bose which give deep base but not much treble on the X10... But they worked nicely with the iPhone...
So I need something more suitable for the X10
Budget wise I would say around £40 - £60 (MAX)
Found CX500 for £29.99 which seems to be a good price from them
Thanks for all your help people...

How do you find the noise level on the X10 (background hiss)
I'm hoping it's OK. My X10 should arrive on Tuesday.

I would vote "Shure" then "Sennheiser" forget about Bose they are overrate and cant delivered what it said it would be also Expensive!
I own a pair of Monster Turbine and it rocks! you wouldnt go wrong with that pair (i think they release a version 2 now)

I listen to nearly absolutely everything from house to r&b everything. I used to have the Sony MDR-EX 90 LP headphones but the link to the ones above are the new version and louder. The MDR-EX500LP are absolutely awesome, it's studio quality and great if you listen to house or anything like that.

Cheers for getting back to me... I listen to the same type of music... I will look into these earphones more and hopefully get them very soon unless someone else can suggest otherwise...
