I've had my ear to the ground for a new pair of headphones for the past couple months, considering and willing to buy a pair up to £150 (namely the Bowers & Wilkins C5s). But before committing I figured I'd see what Google thought the "best in-ear headphones for under £100" were.

At a third of the price I was dubious whether they'd give me the significant step up, from my modest but functional £5 Panasonics, that I wanted during my ~6 hour daily use. But assured by many glowing reviews, I now see that price isn't always an indicator of quality. It would be tiresome to explain in detail how impressed I am, but every aspect of them is as I would design it myself, from the texture of the wire to the carrying pouch that they come in.
