Default New headphone recommendations........

.....for my Creative Muvo Tx FM please.

One of the earphones has started to crackle on the headphones supplied with the player, so I'm in the market for a new set.

I use the player for the gym mostly, so a set that actually stays on your head/in your ears is what I'm after.

The player uses the wire to the earphones as the aerial for the radio. Does this mean that only certain headphones will work, or shouldn't it be a problem?

Price wise I suppose I'm after something mid to upper range.

Thanks.

Dave.

Despite what loads of people below will say, get a pair of Etymotic Research ER6i. They are keenly priced (Around £50), fit perfectly (unlike a lot of the Shures which are known for having an average fit), have a good length cable, come with Foam (good for bass!) or silicone buds and sound SPECTACULAR! They are designed specifically for use with portable players and are more sensitive to produce a clearer sound without needing a dedicated Amp.

Buy them!

etymotic's are a great earphone. a cheaper option would be the sony MDR-EX71SL. at about 30 quid. personally though i'd pay the extra for the er6i's.

Thanks for the info guys.

Cheapest UK price I could find was £70.

Ebay list started from £55, all from the US. Import Tax?
