V300

These are the best headphones I have used. The sound is warm and clear. The headphones can go very loud and I have yet to reach the point where the sound distorts.

The design is comfortable, yet tight enough to allow you to walk or run without them falling off. They are also light in weight and aesthetically pleasing.

The wire is around 2.5-3 metres in length which means its long but not wholly unmanageable.

There is some sound leakage at higher volumes but only really enough for those within say 7ft or so to hear.

Fab sound, good size, nearly perfect
I've given these 4-stars because although very good, they're not perfect.

A lot of the reviews mention the bass that these headphones generate, let me clarify that - I like bass but these headphones LOVE bass!! In fact I had to change my stereo settings to reduce the bass output, such is the "bassiness" of these headphones.

Also, they do leak sound a little too much for my liking. My old Panasonic clip-on headphones leaked less. Luckily I don't tend to listen to my music too loudly, but if you like to listen to your music on 11, then everyone else gets to listen too.

Oh and the cable? Exceedingly long and slightly impractical if you're commuting. Yes you can tie it up but I carry a small bag rather than rucksack so the cable takes up quite a bit of space.

On the plus side, yes there are some, they do sound fab. The quality is very very good, and if you can get the right mix then music has never sounded so good during a morning commute.

They're a really good size too. They cover the ear nicely. A lot of the more professional headphones make you look like a cyborg from outer space, but although these look like serious headphones they aren't in any way ridiculous.

For the price, the sound quality and the size these come highly recommended.

Better than the price suggests
I bought these headphones about 6 months ago, maybe more, and they have worked perfectly since the day i got them, the sound is truly amazing, gives a really good surround sound effect, and you can hear the full quality of the music, if you are passionate about music, and have some sort of cd/mp3 player, then these headphones are for you, only downer is, that the cable is well long, but you won't care, with the sound quality that you are getting,
