Hey Guys

I stumbled around some cheap but high quality headphones for a couple of pounds

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=220711037388&ssPageName=STRK:MESE:IT

What do you guys they? Are they worth buying

If There Is A Problem, Find The Question.

They're alright. For the money they definitely are a good buy but overall they fine for someone who isn't really a music enthusiast. 2 things I don't like about them is, I have trouble keeping them in my ears, and their is a lot of audio leak from them. What I mean by this is you can be listening to a song at full volume, and the people around you will be listening to the same song at about 1/3 volume.

Yeah that is both of the major problems with these headphones.

(audio leak really makes a person look like a douche, I'm sorry for saying that, but its true.)

Although, they are portable and are easy to just wrap around your music player and go about your business.

Yes, especially since your not paying for a brand name on eBay.

(I felt odd going to the Apple store and it shall scar me for life, but the lowest headphones you can buy [online] are $50 [that I have seen])

Audio leak is only a problem with those headphones because people play them full blast--which is absolutely ridiculous because it destroys your ears.

Those head phones never fit my ears but I've found I can wrap them around my ears and they'll fit fine.

I'm kind of wondering why people bother posting things like those head phones on ebay at all though. Is a pound 75 really that necessary? Unless you got them for free and have like 50 to sell, I really don't see the purpose.

Signature's are stupid.

Why would you stick a link to ebay in your sig if it is not you that is trying to sell them?

By way of demonstration, he emitted a batlike squeak that was indeed bothersome.

Meh. I'd stick to headphones or IEMs instead of earbuds anyway...

Lol i could have bought 200 of those headphones the other month for just short of £250 delivered. Was looking into bulk buying and resale. But yeah there all the same. The factory i was buying them from was a production agent for apple ;D

i would rather pay $17 for Sennheiser CX300 buds. that's what i got. great quality, bass-driven sound, never come out, unnoticeable audio leak, and you don't even need to crank it up that loud because even at 50% volume the passive sound-canceling works like a charm and makes you deaf to all else around. it's like it turns down the volume of everything that's not your music.
