Why buy expensive headphones? Simple, it's all about the musical experience. I brough a pair of Sennheiser HD500's from Comet at the end of last year for half price (£35, due to a damaged box) so I could listen to tunes at work. I was amazed at how fantastic they sounded so I decided to buy a pair for home. The wife is pregnant so is going to bed early. Playing music without phones is not an option as she will hear it so I brought a pair to be able to listen to music and the TV when she was in bed. After some research (not a great deal to be quite honest) I settled on these as they were about £54 delivered from Strachen electronics.
I'm no audiophile but I do appreciate a full, rich sound from my music and these deliver. Everything is there. I listen to a variety of music from Jazz to Heavy Metal and these seem to pick everything up. The sound is better than listening to my stereo system in the lounge!
The lead is 3 meters long which is fantastic for trailing it around the lounge for TV viewing (although these phone are overkill for the TV) and are great for watching DVD's with as you will hear sounds you have missed before.
The ear piece sits very comfortably around my head and the foam padding can be pulled off and replaced if necessary (and probably washed too if you wished).
You could spend more on a pair of headphones, but unless you a complete audiophile I would suggested stopping at this price bracket and get these.
