Lovely headphones, and I'd love a pair but more than I'd be allowed to spend on headphones I'm afraid :(

Excellent sound quality, perhaps one of the best around.
If only it were less expensive, even considering your price, and could play a bit louder.
That last bit is it's biggest drawback (and its price) to those that sometimes want to crank up the volume control.
For me it is loud enough though (listen at low levels, for which it is almost unrivaled) but... the price and dependence on the supplied 'energizer'.

It appears to play perfectly loud enough here, unless you are intent on premature hearing damage?

If I thought Mrs JJB wouldn't kill me I'd be sorely tempted...however I value retaining my private parts in one piece as being more desirable than a nice pair of headphones.

Although these are expensive everybody I know who has tried them has been genuinely impressed and said they really are rather special.
