bought a pair yesterday and i just had to make a post to say how good they are.
iv never heard anything like them before, i was actually in shock at how good they sounded for the price (£13) i would challenge anyone to find something that could beat it.
im actually going through my ipod and it feels like im listening to my music for the first time, everything sounds so full and clear and the bass is really punchy but not ott.
also with all the previous headphones iv used iv found that once you crank the volume up the sound really goes downhill, with these they sound better the more you crank them up, the only bad thing i have to say is there is quite a bit of sound leakage when the volumes up but that doesnt bother me.

im actually thinking about buying another pair because if these break i doubt i could revert to my stock ipod buds or sonys

i ordered mine yesterday, and every review i read say they sound good. i hope they're right!

I'm in 2 minds... In one sense they are great value for £13. But at the same time I dunno if I would buy £13 headphones. If you spend more than 20 hours a week doing something it's definitely worth investing £50 or maybe more. I don't have that much spare cash, but I definitely prioritize the things I enjoy/spend time doing.

having said that is there anything significantly better than the porta pros in the <£50 price range?

let me just say the the retail price is £35, they arent a cheapo pair of phones.
the £13 amazon price in no way reflects the quility of them, its just amazon being really really cheap

I know what they're like, they've been around unchanged for 22 years.

of cousre, my friend! actually i got three pairs, but that's astory for another time. there's a bit of a wait on at the moment, so i'll probably get them the latter part of the month.

great phones... however mine broke / blew within a month (non amp'd) so i wouldnt buy them again!
