Default Expensive in ear headphones..........worth it?

After using a pair of £25 Sony in-ear headphones for the last few years, i was reading some reviews in the latest edition of What hi-fi. There are some great reviews in the region of £100, but before i order a pair, any thoughts.

Can you tell the difference, are they worth it. Its something i use quite a lot with my ipod, mobile phone and laptop.

I spent around that on some noise cancelling sennheissers. They were awesome BUT didn't survive beyond 6 months of wearing in bed. I like to listen to music/talk radio when going to sleep.

I would say yes they're worth extra spending for good headphones/earphones.

I've tried few of them,but must admit Monster Turbine or Velodyne vPulse,MEElectronics A151 are great and don't cost so much
