These are definitely worth the asking price of ￡40. They have a really good looking design, very light weight and have excellent sound. They sound flat and do equalize pretty well. They are not lacking bass at all, just not bass heavy but with a little EQ they produce good bass.

I have had these 'phones about 2 weeks and have to say that for the money they are really great value. They are comfortable, and they have a long lead which is more useful than you might think although for 'out and about' purposes you may need a cable tie to avoid entanglement.
