Hi, recently my Soundmagic PL50s are acting up and I'm looking to replace them, I have a budget of about €60 and I mainly listen to pop, rock and alot of podcasts. Sound quality isn't the most important thing to me because I listen to podcasts alot more than music, but comfort and sound isolation are important to me. I was thinking of buying either the
Meelectronics M11+ http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B003VTZPOS/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?ie=UTF8&m=A7EL6FXUBCG7Z or just buying another pair of PL50s, and I'm just wondering if anyone has other suggestions, I'd really appreciate it.
Thanks :)

Thanks for the suggestion I will check them out :)
And some additional info: I will be using these to listen to movies on my laptop also, and I find the stock Large Foam tips the most comfortable on my PL50s.

I liked how they were very comfortable mainly, I thought the isolation was decent but not quite good enough. The sound quality was definitely good enough for me. To be honest maybe I should just buy them again but I'd like a change. Still leaning towards the M11+

I'm returning them to amazon, they told me they would give me a full refund if I send them back. I was looking at the a151s but I cant find them under €60 when including delivery and they look to be similar to the M11+ but with better sound quality, which isn't that important to me as comfort and sound isolation. Thanks for the suggestion though. :)

From the amazon review "Good sound but not my choice for noise isolation", so guess not :)

The HF5s are a bit out of my price range but they look very good so maybe I should save up, the JVCs seem to not have good isolation so I don't think they are for me but thanks for the suggestion :)
