I need new heaphones! [brit]

I'm on a quest; an audio crusade, with yours truly taking the part of King Richard, my armies ready to crush the Dixonian hordes who dare tout themselves as being the home of the one true god (Currys are worse, in fairness).
The problem is this, a few weeks ago during one of my daily trips on the tube, a fat lady who shall remain nameless (because I don't know her name) walked past me in a great hurry; and in doing so, ripped my earphone lead in half - my iPOD hasn't been used since.
But what to get to replace them? I wasn't terribly happy with the phones anyway (some uber in-your-ear Sony job, which are right finniky to actually use) and Dixons (evil evil people) in Paddington station only do £4.99 Matsui headphones; the kind that have the bass response of a tin of Castrol.
They've got to be in-your-ear, and have good bass and treble obviously - not looking to spend more than £30.00 on them, but I have GOT to get my morning dose of Coldplay back on track, or I'm going to go stir fry crazy.
Suggestions? eh? whattyda think audio clan wiz0rds? :)

  2. I'm rocking with a pair of the clip on sony jobbies. They're weird, they're full pad jobbies not in ear but don't have a bit that wraps around your head. Instead they have a little swivelling clip that sits on the top of your lug. Sounds shit, feels great and doesn't look soft. They've also got ace fabric covered cables for extra leetness. This is them: http://www.epinions.com/Sony_MDR_Q33LP_S_W_EAR_Headphones_Headphones

  3. Hmm but you want in-ear ones. Sadly I think you're talking best of a bad bunch when it comes to those things. I actually found some ones made by Sennheiser but they sound worse than the little Sonys that came with a walkman in 1987 or something. Would you stretch to the nifty wrap-around ones that sit on your ears with the strap around the back of the head? There's plenty of good models of those.

  6. Okay, completely changing the subject here but hey... I'm up to my arse in bugzilla at the moment, which has this cute little feature where you type 'bug 1238131' or whatever in your comment, and it automatically converts it into a hyperlink to bug 1238131. Hurrah. Can we do that for 'blog 5982372402' too? Aw gowan.

  8. Can you add code that makes the blogging system reject sneaky editings of his and others posts by the programmer in a last ditch attempt to stop him looking like a fucktard?

  9. Foolish man, you cannot fight the system. I am all powerful and you are a fucktard!
