just after some decent quality, low budget earphones. a quick google suggests soundmagic PL11. a few places stocking them at £20, but i seem to remember warnings on here about fakes from amazon. is that right?

ive found some at amazon, advancedmp3players and play.com.

any advice on who sells fakes and who doesnt?

Amazon and Play are fine if you are buying from them direct, and not a reseller.

These people are very good, I've got two pairs of their M6P Sports 'phones, bought on a holiday discount, BOGOF deal last year. Very, very good, comfortable, the triple flange tips really cut out background noise, and they have terrific bass once burned in. Plenty of others to choose from there.
And I'm comparing them with Shure and Ultimate Ears TripleFi 'phones costing up to £250.
BTW, it's worth signing up with them to get email updates, I had one last week offering the HT-21 headphones for $19.95, that's £12.65.

advancedmp3players are based in Edinburgh (store in Ocean Terminal) and are (IME) totally sound. See what I did there?

Small outfit I guess - but genuine and helpful (they got me some buds for UE phones I'd bought years earlier) . They are nowt to do with me btw. I just enjoy stopping off trying stuff / pressing the buttons etc.
