The bass is beautiful and they are more comfortable than any pair of earphones I've ever had before. And they completely cancel out the noise of the train without annoying everyone around me, as you can't hear them at all. I was impressed with the last pair of Shure's that I bought from a reccomendation on here, but these have blew them out of the water.'"
And in that price range you'll get better quality, those two you mentioned are hardly in the OP's price range though.

Just managed to find the E10s for £20 on a website called Focalprice (seems legit enough, although delivery can take a bit longer). Only a fiver more than I paid for the last ones so I'll give them a go.
I saw those Phonaks on a website I was on, but the £80 price tag put me off though!

I've just got my wife a kindle. I looked at what she reads and looked if they were available in e-book/kindle format at WHSmiths, Amazon etc. Kindle was the best option for her.

I know, I was putting across my opinion that spending more can be worth it if you are careful with your purchase.

| Needs some advice.
Got grandkids from two separate households, we want to buy a games console for our house for when they come to stay, but would like to get use ourselves (not playing games, but internet, playing DVD;s etc). One lot have Xbox at home the other PS3, what are the pro's and cons of each.
Ta in advance.

This comes up regularly in terms of their pros and cons as gaming machines (and that argument boils down to personal preference and getting the same machine as the majority of your gaming pals), but if gaming isn't really your concern (and particularly online gaming) I'd say the PS3 is the better bet. The Xbox lacks the blu ray player and doesn't have an internet browser.

| Sorry but unless you're going to invest in Blu rays, go with the Xbox as it plays DVDs admirably and even upscales them.
The games are better (for the grandkids) and online is a better experience, although it does cost around £26/year as opposed to free on PS3 (but the quality is much lower).
Also at the end of the day the Xbox (£155 from Sainburys or £200 from Amazon with a game, £15 voucher for another game and 12 months online play included) is cheaper as are the games.

I've had both consoles for a number of years and I would side with the PS3 personally. It is the more expensive of the two but the functionality is fantastic. Its great for use to access the internet via your TV. Plus if your grandkids want to play online its free

Yes if you like a low quality experience and your details stolen.
