I have - I like them, very comfortable and great for speech and classical music. You can get them cheaper at Sainsbury's. Very light on the bass though, so not so good for pop music or games. Instead, for cheap, lightweight, comfy and reasonable bass, I'd recommend any of the Sony MDR G5xx series (eg. G52 or G57) with wrap-around neck band. A little over budget at around 12-15 quid but worth it. You can also carry out a normal conversation whilst wearing them. If you want in-ear headphones with good bass, any of the ones with the sticky-in bit that actually goes down your outer ear canal will do the trick nicely, and you can get dozens of brands for seven quid. For full-on enclosed padded headphones, you can't go wrong with Technics at that price bracket. Again, you'll spend 12-15 quid instead of 10, but your ears will love you. Just don't expect to be able to carry out a conversation with anyone else whilst wearing them. Do give John Lewis a try for branded headphones. They have a price match guarantee and they're a co-operative (owned by the staff) so fit nicely with Free Software politics. -- Andrew Oakley -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.org/UKTeam/
