For around a tenner these phones really can't be beaten, even if they only lasted a year. Some people complain that they break or the wires snap... for goodness sake be more careful with them! Also some folks moan about getting earache. I can only say that they must have odd shaped ears! Anyway, they work realy well with my Sony Bean, giving superb sound and the inline volume control is really useful.

I bought these to replace my existing headphones, which had started to crackle. I didn't want to spend too much as I don't use my MP3 player as much as some.
All I can say is these are fantastic value for the money. They produce excellent sound and have good Bass tones. They also have a tiny in-line volume switch, which is so handy when someone wants to talk to you. I also found these very comfortable to wear, they sit in the ear nicely and don't fall out due to the very slight oval shape to them. I don't think you will find better for a tenner.

Nice simple headphones.

Not an incredible amount of sound yet they are snug and come with their own case.

Recommended if you are too lazy to look around, you wont be dissapointed but you can find better.

I got these headphones in gatwick airport about 4 to 5 years ago and they are still in mint condition. I have used them non-stop since i got them. Theres only one problem though, the sound can go a bit funny sometimes when i twist the connector by accident but otherwise its a brill product. If you want headphones that will last for ages and the sound quality is as good as being there, listening to the music live, then gets these. The price should get you into them and the durablity will keep you stuck with them. There cheap and brilliant headphones so get them now!!!

These ear-buds were brought to replace a previous set brought well over a year ago for a iPod rather than the white Apple ones due to the quality of the music. It took me some time to track these down and find they were the correct ones, though altered (which was what gave me the most trouble) but after guesses, buying and receiving, I am very, very pleased. The adjustable volume piece isn't really necessary but it is a handy little addition and the sound is wonderful. Clear, good bass and blocks out the outside world with very little volume.

I am very pleased. I can only hope these ones last as long as my former ones.
