Advantages: A name you can trust

Disadvantages: Lack of a 45 degree headphone jack

Their Sennheiser, a name you can trust as they've been well respected makers of audio equipment for quite a long time. You might think Sennheiser equals expensive but that's not the case here, these headphones can purchased for less then 28 quid!

I found mine on Amazon about 2 years ago & they cost me £15 then but that was on special offer (reduced from £25 as I recall). These are the can-style over ear phones with a connecting padded band that goes over the skull, they come in classic black and look pretty sleek but are strong & sturdy and are not likely to break if you drop them (which I have done many times and their still going strong with no marks or scuffs either, these little blighters are very tough & durable!).

They've got an obscenely long lead but come with a great plastic gizmo that allows you to wrap the excess wire around it, it also has a beltclip allowing you to secure it to your clothes on a belt or to a pocket.

They are pretty big & chunky headphones but they aren't heavy at all, they are comfortable to wear but can get a tad sweaty around the ears & head if worn for longer than an hour. They give great audio reproduction, expect to be able to hear ALL the instruments and bits of tunes you'd never previously noticed in the background using other headphones.

They don't let much sound out so can be worn to listen to music loudly at night without any fear of waking your neighbours or housemates (which is something I've done many times without disturbing anyone).

I personally only use mine at home so I can't comment how well suited they are to being used out and about. The headphones can be comfortably secured to your head without feeling too tight (or too hot) and they are easily removed and sit very comfortably around the neck as well when not being worn.

I'm pretty sure they'd be good outdoors as they can be worn to cut down excessive outside noise and with the power they put out they would certainly drown out any traffic if your walking or bus/train sounds if your travelling on public transport. There's definately no fear of annoying others as they hardly leak any excess sound.

The main gripe is the lack of a 45 degree headphone connector jack so it's possible if this was used on the go the jack might be the 1st thing to go.
