I've got the B&O ones and they're brilliant! if you make a choice this week let me know what price you get and I'll check here in New York so can pick them up for you if cheaper - the US$ is still at approx 2 to the £. I'm here until Saturday.
I would first look at Shure (420 and 530) and then Sennheiser and Bose. B&O may even be good but bring nothing to the sound quality and are expensive for what they deliver IMHO.
It's horses for courses, methinks. Main thing with in-ear type (either Shure or Sennheiser) is that they fit properly. No good having great sound quality if they're a nuisance. Most come with different size ear-pieces but even then, can't be sure of fit until you buy 'em.
The B&Os aren't by any stretch the best for sound quality (bass is lacking) but I like them because they are adjustable and fit me well.
You'll aso want to consider whether you want/need noise cancelling. Very good on planes/trains etc but less good if perhaps you cycle with them. Comes at a cost too.
Well thankyou guys for your feedback (Rated Cerbera )
...sadly I did try the B&O A8...and yep I'm a bass head... ...very nice but this will be for trains and planes...so noise cancelling..is something needed......sorry should of said something
WOW Thankyou so much for the offer Cerbera ..but researching, it seems I can buy from the US though ebay...I think it would be to rude to let you cof up on your holiday....for a close friend maybe...but i'll sort them out somehow..again rated
Ahhh the QuietComfort® 3 Acoustic Noise Cancelling® headphones...nice

But I have many top end Sennheiser...all very good...now I just need some small ones...
