Bargain at original price of 60 pounds as sounds amazing and so comfy. Even better at 25 pounds and in harder to find more conservative colour. Plenty of stock at my local (Telford) using click and collect.
I had the emagic ec10 before this and a big jump up. The remote/mic is one button and handy (works ios and android).
Mmmmmm, your opinion of What Hi-Fis opinion ??? Who to trust meh ?

Interesting, I'll give them a try, thanks. I'm finding my Soundmagic E10s, whilst good, feel slightly uncomfortable for long usage and quite heavy with the inline remote dragging downwards. Hopefully the over-the-ear cable on these will remedy that a bit.
Love higher end Sony headphones, much better than some of the buds posted on here

Are these better than the Soundmagic e10? tempted but I really don't need them, could just make my e10s a back up pair

these are quality. i mean sound quality not quite as good as the more expensive sennheiser momentum IEMs but in terms of build quality they own the plasticy sennheisers.they can take a beating whereas ive broken 3-4 pairs of sennheisers within a few months...
great buy normally, excellent at this price.

Sarcasm could rule if you didn't have to state that what you said was sarcastic.
What Hifi is stupidly biased towards its advertisers. I'm sure the Sonys are very good but the Tenmaks get excellent reviews from several sources and are dual driver, I'd be tempted to try the Tenmaks too.
Apparently they sound great, so I'm guessing the childish styling has resulted in the RRP dropping so dramatically.
Not sure I'd want to wear them out in public.

Was going to buy these when they were this price last time, but lack of in-line volume control put me off. I bought the Xiaomi In-ear Hybrid Earphones Pro instead for £5 less.

OK, give me a definitive review site? Headphones of the year in 2 publications, thousands of individual 5 star reviews etc etc. I'd be interested in what you trust for reviews
In all fairness, Stuff and What Hifi are the same company and share content.
I'd more trust 1 reputable expert review than 1000s of 5 star Amazon reviews.
Then again, I picked up a pair of OnePlus Bullets last month based on expert reviews and found them to be muddy and lacking in the high ends. Maybe they just need to be worn in...

I've been looking out for some in ears, since I left my soundmagics in a hotel last year.
Does anyone know how the sonys or above posted tenmak compare to these by zero audio which I heard good things about?
Beats by Dr. Dre are for people who care too much about what their friends think.

Was tempted but reading quite a lot reviews mentioning these de-colouring. Keep using my sound magic e10 for now.

Well, at least they are from a reputable brand than some unknown like Onkyo...

PC world / Currys are really good with replacing earphones within the manufacturers guarantee period, with no hassle. Purchased one pair of earphones (sennheisers) around 4/5 years ago for £50....I get them replaced usually twice a year and the best thing is they kept the original price I paid on the receipt whenever I get a replacement if for example the pair I replace them with are cheaper. Got these as my latest replacement in December and they are pretty good for £25. Build quality is great and sound quality is good. I'll change them before the year guarantee runs out though :wink:

the Sonys, although i have the brass versions, but gather they sound teh same

Ah, good to know. I've gone for the pair in the post I was replying to though, as I need some in ears that stay in well, which I suspect wouldn't be the case with these (much like the Soundmagics) for me.

the sonys are brilliant in ear, i run 20+ miles a week, they have a kind of curved shape which tucks into ear, they stick like glue into mine.
Anyway best of luck with whatever you;re getting :smiley:
Yeah, I've tried those. The problem is the inline remote on the Soundmagics is far too close to the left earphone (it's basically hanging around your chin), so the clip has to go below it to attach to anything, meaning the weight still drags it downwards. Cheers for the help though.
I tested these out (Amazon Warehouse buy, so got them for around £8 - and they're genuine, in case anyone's wondering!) but wasn't that impressed with them versus my usual Koss PortaPros.
Me and in-ears just don't seem to get on, I ended up buying Noontec Zoro HD over-ear 'phones to try.

Weirdly they just appeared on Amazon Warehouse for £8 - but they say "missing earphones" (assume they mean earbuds).
