 Good fit and sound quality

These headphones fit me well and stay in when running. The sound quality seems excellent however I am only comparing them to the rubbish apple headphones I used before. Only down side is they are a bit bulky for every day use, but perfect for sport.

 Awsome

These headphones are truely phenomenal. Once you put them in, they drown out a lot of the noise around you, and when you tell them to play your favourite song its a whole new experience. The bass is phenomenal as well as the clarity and how loud they can go! They look really good, quite comofrtable. But!!!! If you are in school then they dont hide easily, also its difficult to listen to just one earphone because it makes you feel like you are deaf in one ear becasue of the rubber sound cancel thing :s

 15 pound?.... sounds too good to be true....

.....in fact it sounds GREAT!
These have not dissapointed at all. Sound quality is brilliant, but this is based on a few seconds of getting the buds moved to sit comfortably and the quality of the input.
If you use a 2nd rate sound source with a poor bit rate or a badly configured equaliser settings then you might get distortion. However, a good source and you're laughing!
I feel like i've robbed Sony as these were only 15 pounds!
Comfy and stay in place when in the gym as the head band flexes as needed.

 Great Headphones

These are a great pair of classic sony headphones, crazy design but great results, with great sound and will always stay in, no matter what you do. The 16 pounds goes a long way, with a carry case, although fiddly, very useful and a helpful extension cord means it can reach other things, instead of just your phone adapter.

 Great Buy

Defiantly and without a doubt the best £15 i've ever spent on a set of headphones. They've got a great deep bass sound. Fit perfectly, so anyone who is looking for headphones for either the gym or running these are prefect. Plus the reduce outside noise, so there is no need to turn them up really loud to be able to hear them over outside noise.
2 thumbs up :)
