I want some new earphones, some goodish ones, but with an in-built iphone controls/mic. I like the in-ear ones because I can take one ear out without taking out the other, and I can put them in my pocket nice'n'easy.
Any recomendations?

I suspect if you have to have that then you'll end up paying a silly price.

They are actually better than the Sennheiser (i think) pair that I paid about £100 for. I was annoyed.

My last lot I went for was some Kiplish, which were really good for the price, but they didn't last very long at all, only about 4 months.
This time I'm going to get some duct-tape and tape around the ends to strengthen them.

Normally I break them after about 3 months of being slogged around in a giant handbag. And they're pink, which I think would be just lovely with your complexion?

I can't pull of pink, I have the wrong flaps'n'folds and end up looking like Mr Blobby after having chickenpox treatment.

They all get good reviews I think, 'Monster' are quite good (as a manufacturer; terrible as a company), they're not proportional to the price. Except now they got these, which might be OK for the price

The only thing with the Sennheisers is the cables are very noisy, every time you move you hear it.
My phone has that Beats Audio on, it's utter shite, it just whacks up the volume a bit and adds way too much bass and treble.

I quite liked the look of some of the more cheap and nasty ones because they just went daft with their supposed bells and whistles.
Apparently some of the Amstrad HiFi's back in the day used to have planks of wood behind the speaker grilles to give the impression of 3 way speakers but behind that there was just one cone.
