Reccomend me some earphones on a budget - UK

[LaaG]

Today is a sad day. I am currently headphone-less and currently using a handsfree kit that came with my phone... bad times.
 
I'm after some canal'phones around the £50GBP mark and available in the UK.
 
These are the 'phones I've owned before they either died on me or I sadly lost.
 
CX300 - Okey for general listening out and about. Too muddy and bass heavy when I'm listening in  bed or at my PC.
 
Jays D-Jays - Detail was pretty good but even lossless files sounded like low kb/s files sometimes. Serious lack of bass and everything sounded flat.
 
Klipsch Custom-2s - I really liked these but unfortunately these must have slipped out of my pocket or the ear hooks must have snagged something and dropped. Nothing much I can fault but if they came with a tiny little bit more bass, they would have been perfect.
 
I'm currently looking at something around the £50GBP mark that sounds like the KC2s (they no longer sell the C2s at any reputable online stores). I Listen to a bit of everything from RnB, rock, classical etc and unamped. Source: iPod nano 2g, My android phone, the PC and laptop.
 
These seem to be around my budget: SoundMagic PL30 or PL 50, Klipsch Image S4 or S3, Etymotic MC5, Ultimate Ears Super fi 4. Please enlighten Me.

iheadphones.co.uk have the custom 1's for £60 if that's any use?

My memory have the custom 1's for £55 or £50 if you go through amazon.co.uk   http://www.mymemory.co.uk/In-ear-Headphones/Klipsch/Klipsch-Custom-1-Noise-Isolation-Earphones

Or £44 on amazon, The sf.4's aren't bad at about £25 if you can find them at that price, you'll probably find the s4's muddy in much the same way as the cx300. The others I haven't heard. Unknown Chinese iem's tend to go further for your money in this range, the brainwavz M3 springs  to mind though that's only through absorbing other reviews.

SF4 , decient if you find it cheap, PL-50 is great too, i compare it to the KC2 in my review of it http://www.head-fi.org/forum/thread/432843/soundmagic-pl-50-review   the M3 is also a good option

Thanks all for the replies. The custom-2s were bought some years ago for £50 during a promo on amazon. To buy the custom-1s for the same price would make me feel meh. From what I can tell from the reviews as well, the KC1s sound like the KC2s but with less of everything, Im looking for something like the KC2s but with a bit more omph.
 
mark2410: In that thread you say the KC2s were warmer and bassier then the PL50s, I don't think the PL50s are right for me as I'm starting to think they would sound a little like the D-Jays. Even with mental burn-in, music would still sound abit lifeless.
 
The S4s from other reviews do sound like they may be a bit too boomy, so that rules that out.
 
I'll carry on researching. but if anyone knows a cannal 'phones with similar sound signature to the KC2s let me know.

SE110 are quite similar, if that helps, tbh i think your best bet is the M3
