Earphones

Why can’t I find the right earphones? At the moment, sadly, I am using my stock Apple earphones I got with my iPod touch which are ok sound and quick to use, but I also have some Shure E2c which have the best sound but are a bitch to insert properly. I want to find a mid grown but I am having some trouble, I have around £150 to spend, I have bought my keyboard for £30, I would like a graphics tablet, some new earphones and maybe a Windows Media Centre remote.

So what I am looking for, is some £30ish earphones, with great sound, but easy to use. Another factor to be taken into account is whether I can hear people or not, when I’m at school I would like to hear people, but sometimes I wouldn’t. Some of the high end Shures have microphones in them so you can press a button and hear people through your earphone, but I am not looking for another pair of Shures. I am struggling, I am not in any rush to get some, but I would certainly like some. Any suggestions from anybody would be appreciated.

One thing that really annoys me, is when people say headphones when they mean earphones, there is little I hate more than having to search for headphones because websites are so ignorant, it really aggravates me. Oh well.
