headphone recommendations

[WabbitPoo]

Like a lot of us I work in dusty conditions quite frequently. I also like to listen to radio/podcasts/ipod etc.

I have always used small ear buds (as opposed to the bigger iPhone-supplied pads that don't seem to fit into my ears) but I have started getting ear problems, probably caused by the use of buds.

So, over-the ear headphones would seem to be the way forward. I don't want big cans that would probably slip around anyway as I bend over.

Can anyone recommend lightweight ones, which sound half-decent?

Normally I'd say Sennheiser or Grado, but I assume you dont want to spend £100 plus for a set of cans you wear around the site.

What about these? http://www.richersounds.com/product/all-headphones/sennheiser/ocx-685i/senn-ocx-685i-b

Thanks. Still a bit expensive! Have you tried these ones yourself?

I wear the older version of those daily, they're excellent. They can either fit in-ear or just rest over the canal (as I wear them, in-ears annoy me no end).

They're also very tough.
