I bought these a few month a go and they still work. Super long lead.
Philips SHP2500/00 Indoor Corded Television Headphones: Amazon.co.uk: Electronics
Has a volume control too.
Works for me. Not sure what you get by spending 10 times as much. -
I have some sennheiser ones, i forget the model but they are comfy and sound excellent IMO. Cost about £100
I would find a shop you can try them on for comfort.While you're waiting, read the free novel we sent you. It's a Spanish story about a guy named 'Manual.'Comment

You do realise that the Dr Dre headphones are sold a price point aimed at premiership footballers, the general public were never meant to wank £350 of benefit money on a 'brand'... or were they.
I work with a guy who bought a pair of 'Monster Beats™' from dealextreme.com for £40, they sound pretty good which makes me suspect they came out of the same Chinese factory just via a different door.Science isn't about why, it's about why not. You ask: why is so much of our science dangerous? I say: why not marry safe science if you love it so much. In fact, why not invent a special safety door that won't hit you in the butt on the way out, because you are fired. - Cave JohnsonComment

Allegedly the benefits are noise cancelling, deeper bass, more 'pure' sound etc.
I'm buying them as a gift, and am evidently clueless as to what sounds good or not.Proud owner of +5 Xeno Geek PointsComment

I went into HMV and tried some and i didn't think they were any better than the cheap ones and then i looked on the shelf and they were next to the Diddy sound and GA GA headphones, The marketing Power of a name heyComment
