I done a little research and I am looking for some In-Ear Headphones for about £50, maxing out at £60.

I have looked mainly at the Sennheiser CX 550 II which are £55

Also the Klipsch Custom 2 look good at about £60

Can anyone recommend anything good within my budget?

Thanks for any help!

I don't really like the idea of headphones tuned for specific genres to be honest.

I have heard good things about the Soundmagic PL50, are they comparable to the ones I mentioned above?

What sort of sound are you looking for from your phones?

All headphones are best suited for specific genres. Jazz is just a name RadioPaq used to describe the sound of the Jazz. I listen purely to rock music and find them fantastically refreshing for the price. They have a warm, smooth signature with deep bass and decent treble.

The PL50s are more laid back, have better high-end extension and are more neutral-sounding.

Cresyn C750E, Denon C710 and Philips SHE9850 are really amazing for this price range.........

Have you considered the Sony EX 500s?

I tried searching up for those but I can find very little informationn apart from the fact that they are £50 on play.

Does anyone have any links to reviews etc?

Well, I used to have the cx300 II and I enjoyed them dispite the high amount of bass drowning out everything else. To be honest I want something more balanced, but still enough bass to feel it.

Any opinions on Soundmagic PL50, Sony EX500LP, d-Jays.

I'm a bit overwhelmed by the number of opinions I'm getting and I feel I should just buy some instead of looking deeper.
