Customer Reviews

Horses For Courses
I have been using these headphones for a while now and I love them. I guess the five stars should have been a formality but there is a note of caution.

It all depends what you want and what you expect. I specifically wanted a backband because I find in-ear phones irritating and a normal headband gets in the way and looks too obvious. If neither of these is an issue for you then you may disagree with my review.

I have been happy with Sennheiser sound quality in the past and these phones keep up the standard ... but ... they leak sound like a sieve. Not important for me but perhaps critical to others. Likewise they don't do a great deal to block noise out.

I have given a five star review because, for me, these are comfortable, good value and excellent sounding headphones that do exactly what they are designed to do. However, what they are designed to do may not be what you want them to do so please check them out first.

A bargain
These headphones are absolutely ideal for anyone who likes listening to their iPod (or whatever else) at the gym - they stay on on the treadmill and are perfectly comfortable as well. The sound quality is very good for the price and the volume goes a lot higher than the standard 'bud' earphones that come with the iPod. Even the cable is just the right length!

Sounds Great. Doesn't Last
I love these headphones. I've never owned a pair that sounded better. they spill noise a little, but so what? Everyone else has headphones on anyway! They fit comfortably and the cable is nice and long. They even look very cool on.

My only problem with them is the durability of the jack. In less than a year, i've managed to get a loose connection at the "L" shaped jack, despite the flexi-collar thing to prevent that. When plugged in to a portable device - such as an iPod - the jack sticks out and becomes very vulnerable in your pocket or bag. a few bends and the flexi-thingamy is useless.

This has just happened to my 2nd pair of these, and I'll be getting a 3rd pair no doubt. It's just annoying, sadly!
