Any recommendations for headphones for use with a Classic Ipod (and occasional Iphone)?

I currently use Sure E2c in-ear phones which sound quite good, but sometimes they feel uncomfortable and make my head feel 'bunged up', and occasionally, I need to be aware of what's going on around me when using headphones.

If I could get a set for under £50, I'd be happy.

If you need isolation:

Sennheiser PX200 are pretty good. They have a fair amount of isolation but are obviously quicker/easier to take off than IEMs. They also fold up quite nicely.

If you don't mind slightly larger headphones, my preference would be Sony MDR-V6 which can be found s/h for £35ish if you keep your eye on the FS forum of head-fi.org. They are hard wearing and have a slight mid-bass emphasis which I find useful for portable listening.

If you don't need any isolation:

The PX100 sound better but obviously don't isolate. However, I would go for Koss KCS-75 over the PX100 (can be found on amazon for £15).
