Advantages: decent value, great for home use

Disadvantages: too bulky for taking out on the bus or train

After standing around in HMV for a while picking up and putting down a few headphones I picked these ones up for £20.
The packaging mentioned something about settings for music and one for movies which enhanced the bass. I don't have audio equipment that would warrant buying high end headphones so these ones looked like they could do the job I required at a reasonable price.

Though I'm very pleased with their performance, I still use my old inner earphones on the move as these are a bit too bulky to take out with me. I use them mostly at home to listen to music and watch DVDs on my computer.
Performance wise they certainly bring out more depth to the music I listen to than any of my previous headphones, whilst also blocking out a little of the background noise around me
For me they stand out when in Movie mode, which gives the bass a good kick, this isn't to say they only make loud action films with thumping soundtracks and world shattering explosions sound good, they're also good at delivering quality audio from other kinds of films too.
I'd recommend them to anyone looking to buy a decent value set of headphones for in home use.

Summary: Can't go far wrong for the price
