I have been looking for headphones to use with my iPhone 4S, as my MX980s keep falling out of my ears. I'm looking for portable headphones to bring to college, preferably over ear, that don't require amping. I'm willing to spend around £50. (I live in the UK.)
 
The headphones I am considering the most, are the Phillips CitiScape Uptown. I've read plenty of good reviews, especially here on Head-Fi about them. The only complaint I have seen mentioned is about the cable, but that shouldn't be too much of a problem to me, as I won't be moving around much with them on.

I am also considering these Sennheiser HD 419shttp://www.amazon.co.uk/Sennheiser-Closed-Back-Stereo-Headphones-Dynamic/dp/B005SNPTS2/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1372433842&sr=8-1&keywords=HD+419
 
Unfortunately, there are no stores near me where I can audition these headphones or anything similar. Just an Apple store with overpriced Beats and Bose headphones...
 
Any other suggestions? 
 
Sorry if I haven't laid this out well, as this is my first forum post.
 
Thanks.
