Customer Reviews

Great sound and value
I bought a pair of these to use with my iPod Mini, and I was immediately impressed with the sound, which was clear, full and generally well-balanced. I feel they are very good value for money at under £20 (they retail for £40 at some outlets).

The key to success with these headphones is to find the best fitting buds. They should be snug inside the ear but only what you're comfortable with. Just try them all, swapping every few minutes until you find the best balance between sound and comfort.

Be sure to push the buds in to the ear properly, as this tight fit is what allows the strong bass response. It may feel a little odd at first, but after a couple of days use you will get used to it.

Thin and Tinny - Avoid
Well, my review is different to (almost) every one else here, it seems.

I bought these headphones for my daughter to replace the originals supplied with the Creative Zen 4Gb media player (excellent bit of kit). To say I am disappointed is an understatement.

Most other comments seem to be very positive, but that just doesn't reflect my experience. The sound on these phones, for me, is awful - thin, tinny and totally lacking bass. Now, looking at what others have said, these phones can sound poor if they are not worn properly, so it may be that we have not been able to get a good fit. However, my daughter and I have tried every set of ear pads and every conceivable way of pushing the phones in to our ears. We've also listened on four different pieces of equipment, but the result was always the same - bass-less, high-pitched, thin sound that is almost painful. This effect was found when listening to everything from classical to rock and speech, old and new, on CD, FM and DAB.

Others have said that the fit is critical - well maybe our ears are unusual, because we just couldn't make these phones sound good. The only way to get any bass at all was to push the phones as hard as I cound in to my ear canal - uncomfortable and, possibly, dangerous. Surely not a design feature! If fit is key, there should be some decent instructions and explanations on the packaging, but there are not.

To summarise, they didn't suit us, but they might work for you (as they seem to have done for many other people).

Excellent quality sound and comfortable
I'm not an expert on sound-quality, but I do love listening to music and can recognise bad sound quality- these are brilliant

After getting a new ipod which didn't come with headphones, and buying some cheap ones I was getting frustrated with the poor sound. So I decided to buy these after reading the reviews and on advice from family.

I couldn't be more satisfied. As long as you have the right sized attachment, the sound is excellent, I'm hearing bits of songs I didn't even know were there. And they certainly block out noise. As I'm typing this I'm listening to them and I can't hear the tapping of the keys, even in quiet bits of the music.

I would certainly recommend them (I already have to my sister).
