So many of you were really helpful when I previously sought 'sound advice' on recorders, I am hoping you can help with advice on the playing and listening end of things.

We have been commissioned by the National Gallery to put our interpretation on a year in the life of little known Norwegian artist, Peder Balke.  Some of you may already know of our plans to use snippets of sounds from interviews with walking artists, performers and writers.  It should be a really fun adventure: http://www.nationalgallery.org.uk/whats-on/calendar/workshop-28-march-2015-14-00

We have been asked to supply headphones and mp3 players.  When we did something similar for Sideways in 2012, we purchased Logitech on-ear (semiopen) headphones from Amazon

and Alba mp3 players from Argos (and why not?) http://www.argos.co.uk/static/Product/partNumber/9291803.htm

Inevitably, the ones we bought for Sideways are a little battered and some were lost on the way, so I need to replenish stocks - but are these products the ones to get or do you have suggestions of better, similarly modest priced kit?

Many thanks, Andrew
