i was wondering if anyone could help me but i have a problem, the earphones supplied with the ipod really hurt my ears dure to their shape, i have never had any problems with these type of earphones beofre but these are killing me. does anyone know a good pair of in-ear headphones i could buy in the U.K for around 15-20 quid? also they would have to have a scaled wire deely whereby one ears wire is longer so you can wrap the wire round the back of your head. does anyone know any!!!
thanks a lot guys and girls.
cheers.
Up your price to ?35 and get some Sony EX71's.

I agree with MadPict. I have bought three pairs since buying my iPod - Sony EX71's, Phillips HE590's and some others I lost. The best and certainly most comfortable for me are the EX71's.

another one to agree with the Sony EX71's, comfortable enough to have in your ears for long periods of time, good looking (especially if you get them in matching white) and they sound the business.

Funny. I find the stock iPod earbuds perfectly comfortable. I also have the Shure e2's...which I CANNOT wear because they make my ears hurt.
Fit and comfort must be sooo dependent upon the shape of one's ear... Guess that makes sense, but I would not have expected earbuds to cause a problem.

are the wires different lengths so one goes around the back of your head?

The stock earbuds are *very* uncomfortable for me. My Shure E2's, though, fit perfectly and are very comfortable using the flex sleeves.
