Advantages: Great design, good look, fantastic price.

Disadvantages: Sound that leaks out is annoying & not quite loud enough

I find that in-ear headphones are quite uncomfortable so i was looking for a good mid-price pair of phones and after a botched attempt at sennhesier (two broken pairs in as many months) i decided to give these a go.

Aesthetically they are great - they have retro appeal and I love the way they fold up. A really great looking pair of headphones.

The sound quality is really good but one of the biggest problems I found was that everyone around you can hear what you're listening to! Making you the most hated person on the bus/tube/train isn't a great selling point. The other big down point is that I felt they don't go quite loud enough. I like to be able to listen to my music pretty loud and so find myself playing my ipod on full volume most of the time I'm using these, which is not ideal.

However, overall, I would say that these are a great little set of headphones - I like the idea behind them (original design, etc), the look and style and the sound quality and for the price I would say they're a great buy!

Summary: Great deal for the price, worth the purchase for a mid/low-price set of headphones

I know - that's what you would have thought but the sound quality really is very good. I thought it was better than the Sennheiser PX100. Perhaps I just listen to music far too loud!

If sound leaks in an irritating way the sound quality can't be that good?
