I have had these earphones for about a year now and they're still going strong. They don't rattle even at full volume and believe me these things with the right player go dead loud. The cord is about the right length if you have an mp3 player maybe a little short if you have a walkman. The only niggle I have is that even at a low sound setting people around you can hear clearly every word of the song which can be a little annoying. Love the colour scheme very classic, if your thinking of buying these then In would strongly recommend that you do!

I've had these headphones for years, and they've never failed to impress me. The sound quality is good, and they are sturdy and reliable. What more do you want?

Good sound quality, very low leakage and comfortable. Compared to headphones you might get with a personal radio or mp3 player, these are very comfortable, good quality headphones at a reasonable price.

Yeah not bad headphones, do the job. Sound quality is average but what do you expect for the money your paying! So if your not to fussed then its a good buy. Only niggle is the cord length....its too bleedin short, i find my head being jerked to one side when i'm walking and can make you look like a right muppet.

Where these headphones come into there own is there durability. Ive got through a few headphones in my lifetime, all breaking with the slightest knock. I broke my iPod earphones by repeatedly falling asleep on them when i was 'merry'. NOT HERE! I can safely fall into a drunken slumber listening to my music, constantly rolling all over them in my sleep, wake up in a tangle of wires and splitting headache and find that they still work. HURRAH! (buggars up my iPod mind!)

I've had these headphones for around two years now and only in the last few months or so have I noticed any wear in the sound quality. However, this is not surprising as I have been less than gentle with them. They've been thrown around, dropped, stuffed in a drawer, kicked, you name it. Remarkably they still worked fine for ages. The only problem now is the jack-plug sometimes needs twisted a bit in my Ipod when I start loosing sound in one ear. I will definitely be purchasing these headphones again as for 6 pounds the sound quality is well above that price, plus they are very robust, they are the most comfortable ear buds I have worn and they're cheap enough to restock once they go the way of the dodo. I should also mention that these headphones don't use the system of looping the wire round your neck, it is the standard parallel wire which I love.
Definitely a recommended purchase, I doubt you'll find better headphones at this price.
