The sound I got from mine was excellent for the £50 I paid (although you may well find them for less nowadays). Someone got very lucky when I left mine on a plane! However, if you want them for mixing or studio use, I'd suggest something larger that offers more complete external noise blocking.
EDIT - Just found them for £30!!! Gonna replace the set I lost! Late Christmas pressie to self (another one).  www.play.com/Electronics/Electronics/4-/587389/Sennheiser-PX-200-Mini-Headphones-Black/Product.html#

I have no idea, but would be interested to know

My primary use is watching stuff late at night on the laptop so as not to disturb the missus, but yeah, some mp3 files are crap quality and ipod sound isn't as good in my experience as say CD's. Still gotta be worth getting something comfortable that doesn't distort too much at higher volume though (for those London Underground and British Rail moments).

recommend Headphones, by craigf on Jan 1, 2010 19:06:26 GMT 1, I bought a set of Shure's for my ipod can't remember the model, cost about £100 and worth every penny as the sound quality is fantastic. That said even a small upgrade to say a £25 - £30 of Sennheissers makes a big difference over the cheap ones that come with most MP3 players ;D
