Recommend me some good in-ear earphones for iPhone!

Quis custodiet ipsos custodes?
My latest pair have just died and I need replacements pronto, what I'm after are in ear that work well with the iPhone, ideally I want audio controls on them and a mic for handsfree.

Suggestions?
 
They aren't in ear are they?

I liked my Entymotic HF2's till I managed to lose them. :(

I see they are only 66 quid on amazon, which makes them very good value. I had the red ones. Just need to make sure that the plugs are properly in your ear for the fullest bass.
 
The CX300's don't have cable controls or a mic though, and they're a new mark II version now, which isn't getting as good reviews as the old version. I still have a pair of the old ones, and they really are superb. I just got some new ones to replace them though: RHA MA-350. Apparently engineered and made in Glasgow, which is nice. You can tell they're really well made. They don't have quite the richness of the CX300's, but they feel far 'fresher' and I can hear more than I used to be able to. Again, no cable controls or mic though.

Oops, I only read the thread title

Yeah true but imo it's an aesthetic and space thing with earphones and if you consider the B&W ones they look great and come in a pretty small case, although not as small as earphones obv.
 
Look like a good contender aside from price. Don't want to pay over 50 quid if I can help it!

I've got those, I got them for £35 at Christmas, no idea if there are similar deals around now. They're very good, but the bass is a little heavy for my liking and they can be a little echoey on spoken word stuff.
 
I bought some sennheiser ie7s for gym use. Shortly after being paid a surprising amount for some teaching work.

They're well over £50, and the fuckers - perhaps predictably - don't fit in my ears. Or don't stay there, in the gym. Fucking grade-A amazing bass when they DO fit, but unless I'm determined to keep my fingers squished against my ears, that just ain't gonna happen, because there's a surprisingly heavy bit wobbling around outside the earphone itself.

Madface.

I've just ordered some Klipsch x10s, which're currently under a tonne on Amazon. And which have reasonably healthy reviews.

The ie7s are still as functional as they've ever been, but the sound isolation and fit (and concomitantly, for the most part, the bass) is somewhere between irritating and a bit pitiful.
 
A few days ago I walked on my Shure 500pth's, broke off an ear piece, I think I can just glue it back on if not I can get them reshelled for about £150.Just a warning don't buy an expensive pair of in-ears and leave them lying around the floor when you're drunk.
