Some Recommended Upgrade Headphones

SoundMAGIC have pushed the boundaries of what can be expected from an entry level earphone with the PL11 (RRP £22.95).  The sound is a quantum leap up from the cheap earbuds supplied with most MP3 players, with warm deep bass and plenty of detail in the trebles.

While you might expect a cheap earphone to be badly made, the PL11 comes fitted with good quality cabling and strain relief that is built to last.  The quality of the product is truly commendable.

Supplied with a neat carry case that is very useable and three size ear tips to get a good seal, the SoundMAGIC PL11 is a very well thought out package.
In times past the Sennheiser CX300 was the first choice for entry level in-ear earphones, but the PL11 has just stolen that spot.

The Sennheiser CX300-II is one of Sennheiser's entry level in-ear sound isolating earphones, but is very capable for the money. The CX300-II is a comfortable fit for most ears and is quite unobtrusive, as the earphone seal is made on the entrance to the ear canal, rather than inside the ear canal like full blown In Ear Monitor (IEM) style headphones.
Compared with the standard iPod earphones the CX300-II offers a vast improvement in sound quality. You will hear detail in your music that is just not possible with most cheap earbud style headphones.
The CX300-II's have a good solid bass response (like most of the Sennheiser in ear headphones). If you compare the CX300-II with much more expensive earphones, like the Ultimate Ears Super.fi 5 Pro, then you will notice that the bass does actually colour the higher frequencies. Saying that the CX300-II is an excellent entry into the world of better quality headphones.
