I bought these quite recently off of amazon after breaking my Sennheiser PMX40s. As i can't live without my headphones i paid £7.95 for express carrage[next day before 1pm], which in all brought the price up to £29. Well worth it though. [If you don't pay for the express carrage, you can get these on amazon for around £20]
Personally, i think Sennheiser headphones/earphones are the best you can buy for the price you pay, i've even had sennheiser products before my pmx40s. You can't go wrong.
First things first, the design. They feature a black neckband, with black caseing surrounding the speakers. Finished with chrome effect plastic. They are extreamly lightweight therefore comfortable to wear for long periods of time. The flexable neckband ensures that they fit comfortably for anyone.
The sound, is a noticeable improvement from the pmx40s. The bass is enhanced with a crisp tone, fortunatly though, the bass is produced in such a way, that it doesnt drown out the mid range. There is absolutely no distortion at loud volumes, where the pmx40s tended to buzz. The only trouble with the pmx60s is the fact that when turned up loud, they leak sound, which is perhaps not so ideal if you're on a bus or train. If you plan to use them for bus journeys or train journys you'll either have to have them quieter, or buy the pmx200s which don't leak sound[cost you an extra £10, money i wasnt prepared to pay due to the extra bulk they carry]
The creative HQ-140s, although they look the same, i can assure you are not of the same standard as these headphones.[my sister has a pair of the creative ones] The creatives bass doesnt seem so apparent, and the sound is a little too trebble for my liking, even compared to the pmx 40s.
The pmx60s feature a non slip design, so they dont move from your ears when you walk/run or move your head. They only complaint i have, is if your coat or jacket has a high colar, it tends to push against the neckband of the headphones, displacing them from your ears, which can get annoying. [If you don't have a high collar, obviously, you won't have that problem]
The wire is of sufficient length, to reach practically any pocket you've got. So theres no problem there.
Due to the design of these headphones, they are much more comfortable than the pmx40s, and almost feel as though you're not wearing any headphones at all. The pmx40s tended to cut into your ears a bit after long periods of wearing them.
These headphones just like the pmx40s are very durable, and i cant see how they will break without excessive force. The only reason the pmx 40s broke is because i got the wire snagged on a table, which broke a connection and stopped the left channell from working.
So, what do we have. A lightweight pair of headphones, with excellent sound, and good looks, for quite a cheap price. Hard push to find a better alternative in the same price range. IMO.

Good review, for around about £23 I got a pair of Sennheiser PX-200 light weight headphones from e-bay for which I have yet to hear of being beat for the price, they retail in the shops for £40.00 -Milt
