(5 out of 5)Digital Headphones to Die For
Very comfortable? Most certainly . Good Quality sound reproduction? Definatley. Is the price right? it's an absolute steal.
(4 out of 5)'phones.
I bought them to replace the frankly appallingly constructed Apple iPod headphones (which fall apart alarmingly regularly so don't buy into them).
I must say these headphones offer reasonable sound quality, handle bass pretty well and certainly block out a lot of the outside sounds of working in an office or public transport.
The cable is a decent length.
I must say on the downside, they are quite plasticy but to be honest for £20 I'm not expecting gold and if you're like me and listen to music for long periods of the day/night, they might become a little uncomfortable but not too bad. Also, they don't really grip onto your head particularly well so if you take one off and move it in front of your ear to speak to someone/answer the phone etc, then they slide down your face.
Overall though for £20 I don't think you can really go too far wrong with these headphones.
(2 out of 5)Disappointing
The phrase "you get what you pay for" really is true. I chose these because of the reputation of IXOS. However, it turns out that is not enough. The sound quality is acceptable though I have heard better on equally priced headphones. But what really lets these down is the light-weight, plastic design. Not to mention the fact that at its smallest head-size setting it only just fits my head. They are too big for my wife to wear at all. I really didn't want to pay a lot for headphones because I knew I would use them infrequently, but I wish now I had at least doubled my budget.
