I'm a scruffy, badly organised man. As such, my headphones take a lot of battering. I catch the cable on other people's bags and get them yanked off my head. Juice leaks all over them. They get coated in dust at the bottom of my bag, and they've never been back in their storage case since the day I bought them. So despite their sometimes disappointing bass, less than beautiful looks and diminutive size, I love them. They've stuck with me.

Throw away your packaged earphones. If you want to hear what your MP3 music REALLY sounds like, buy a pair of these. Sennheiser really know their stuff and for next-to-no money you can transform your listening experience. Wide, dynamic and open sound, you'll never regret buying them. An absolute pound-for-pound steal.

Fantastic Rugged, amasing sound top class, although you look a bit of a prick wearing them...
