Cheap and Good
I was looking for a pair of headphones I could use indoors (e.g. watching movies, listening to Spotify/iTunes) and I found these ones. When I tried them for the first time, I was very surprised by how good they were.The sound is very clear, especially the bass, which is a plus.. and you can listen well to pretty much any kind of music. I tried listening to some Rage Against the Machine, Tool and Red Hot Chili Peppers, and although they sounded different compared to other standard headphones I previously owned (mainly because of the enhanced bass sound) they still sounded good.I was very happy to find out that these were great when listening to hip hop. I listened to a couple of songs by Kendrick Lamar, and I was overjoyed when I was able to hear the instrumentals and the beats with clarity... for hip hop music lovers who don't have enough money for an expensive headphone and pay a lot of attention to beats and instrumentals, this is fantastic!A few cons: I don't suggest using these while traveling, as they seem quite fragile. I don't suggest putting them in a bag, because they might break. Another con is that you can't fold them, hence they are not very practical (I use them only at home, so this doesn't really affect me). Also, the lack of a cushion on the headband might be an issue for some people.Overall, these deserve a 4 out of 5, as I was genuinely surprised by the audio quality of these headphones. For this price and brand, these might be the best headphones you can find!

I wanted a set of headphones to plug into my audio-typing machine so that I could better hear the dictations
I purchased three pairs of these headphones for work. I'm a Medical Secretary and myself and my colleagues were moved into a larger office with a lot more noise than we were used to. I wanted a set of headphones to plug into my audio-typing machine so that I could better hear the dictations. I was a little worried as a colleague had purchased a similar set made by Sony, but the sound was distorted when transcribing. I went for these because they were Philips (same make as the audio-machine which is a Philips 725 dictation system- standard NHS issue), so hoped they would work better. They did. The suction was a lot firmer (but not so tight that it feels like your ear-drum is being sucked) - which helped with reducing background noise. When playing the tapes, the sound delivered is perfectly crisp, which saves us time in replaying the dictation. I can have the volume down lower and still get a better quality sound than with our old headphones. When not using these for typing, I plug them into my radio and happy work away without outside distraction. The only issue is that the cord could do with an extra couple of inches in length - I need to bring my machine closer due to this limitation . That said, I am really pleased with my purchase, excellent value for money (certainly significantly cheaper than noise-cancelling headphones, and we are now three happy Med Secs :) - definitely recommend. Also they arrived very quickly.

Fits my massive head
I can't have headphones that completely encases my ears, these work well with leaving some room for one ear. The sound quality is better than most cheap ones, but for this price range it's more in the middle. I've owned a previous pair and they lasted many years so built really well.

Amazing but....
These headphones are amazing, the sound quality is great, no tinny sound, no weak bass. They're obviously not as good as the one that cost upwards or £200 but they're great. Would recommend. The cable is a little short when compared to earphones but its not that much of an issue.

Extremely good, I recommend them!
The sound quality is good, I definitely recommend them, especially with the cheap price.They sit comfortably on the top of the head, resting easy on the ears, they don't cause any discomfort or pain after long sessions of wearing them and have found they are also a good portable set of headphones.

Stylish enough for teens
The only reason I am not giving 5 stars is because I haven't actually tried them myself and don't know what the sound is like. It was brought as a present for my teenage nephew and he absolutely loved it. The colour is great and the quality looked fab. Quick delivery and great price too.

head phones!
Got these for my 7 year old as part of his Christmas presents and they fit fine (they do fit an adult comfortably got purple ones for my daughter). He has worn them regularly since then and has never complained about them so for price etc they have been a hit. Only thing I would say is they are orange in colour.

Good product - Wire Is Short
This product was delivered quickly, the colour matched the picture. All over really pleased with my purchase.The one downside is that the wire is barely long enough to reach to my bag (hip level, I'm 5'5"). I expected it to be longer, not sure it would work for me if I were taller.
