Hi renegade79, I prefer in-ear headphones and you can not go wrong with a pair of Soundmagic E10's.
What-fi award winners a couple of years running. You can pick a pair up for under £30 and compare in sound with other ones at more than twice the price. You get a full set of changeable inserts,depending on the size of your ear canal.also comes with a handy carry case to keep them excellent condition.
2 versions available one with in built mic, and one without. I prefer the ones without.
Couple these with a portable Fiio E7 dac headphone amplifier and you get an amazing sound. Or without.
Been using mine for a couple of months now and they sound better after ever use.
I find that beats headphones are slightly overpriced and are more of a fashion statement (that's just my personal opinion,no offence to anyone who like them)
Both available on Amazon. (Other reputable retailers are available)
Hope this helps.
