Truly outstanding - there is no bass better than this for any headphones under 100 pounds and there is definitely no better bass in this price range. It uses special patent pending technology to create this awesome experience (bass damping and baffling I believe). The rest of the sound range is of a similarly high caliber, and there is no tinny or muddy noise here. You'll have to break in the headphones (blast some music out of them for a while) before they'll start to sound properly good - well, according to my friend anyway. There is also no distortion, thanks to the neodymium magnets.
Comfort
This aspect is probably the only one that I think needs improvement - but that's what the PX200's are for. It fits comfortably on your head and the earcups fit reasonably well. They are rather flat so it will not be the best fit, and personally I find closed designs like the PX200 better and more efficient at canceling background noise. However, it comes at an extra price to get a closed design, so if you're not too bothered about people standing next to you in the bus or train hearing your music than you'd probably be better of going with these. But I really have to say this again - you can't wear a hat over this without looking stupid. === Durability === These boast Kevlar reinforced cables so they are not liable to snap. The headphones themselves look sturdy, and will definitely hold when folded and flipped (the special folding design is especially useful), it's hardy and rugged in your pocket. Add the slim, strong case to this and it's virtually indestructible. Perfect for just chucking into your backpack when on the move.

How does the sound quality and comfort of these differ from in-ear headphones? I know Sennheiser are known generally to be very good quality, but I'm not sure that I'd go back to normal "cushion-over-ear" headphones after using the in-ear ones.
Advantages: Colour screen makes browsing easier, and allows display of album artwork, and photos. Disadvantages: Uploading the album art can slow the iPod, and takes up space for music.
