Exclamation Sony MDR-XD100 - Diabolical!



link

I finally had these delivered from PLAY.com today and i have to say that they are the most horrific headphones i have ever used. The sound is unbeliveably tinny and there is no bass on them whatsoever. They're also insanely flimsy and incredibly uncomfortable.

I know they were only £12.99 but they had the same spec's as the MDR-CD480

Ive filled in a returns form and ill be sending them back later.



AVOID AT ALL COSTS!


Also, can anyone recommend some headphones that have a great overall quality but a "more-than-usual" amount of bass?

Cheers, fu510n

Has your budget changed from £30 as there are one or two recommendations (like the Senn HD 515) in one of your other threads.
