Best Headphones for £30

Will be purchasing some new headphones (not buds as i have a pair of those) for use on flights as i find my ears hurt when landing (airpressure and all that)

I mainly listen to rock / Metal or a films, they will be connected to an Archos 405

They need to be comfy as my flights are almost always long haul.

I have found a pair of Panasonic RPHC300 going for £30 at Richer sounds, has anyone had any experience with these i know they use Noise Cancelling which is comparable to Bose.

Thanks

Martin

I was quite interested to see the offer on those. Tempted, but I read a review which suggested their bass and high end weren't great. Is that a reasonable comment?

How would they compare with something like they Mylarone or the Senn CX500s in whose price bracket they suddenly feature.

Re: Best Headphones for £30

The code worked for me when I ordered them last Saturday. I did notice that it only worked for the black version, not the white ones. They were out of stock at the time, and my order is still awaiting stock...

I see that the only offers Play.com have now are through Play Trade, not from Play itself, this explains the new, higher list price and why the voucher won't work.

They appear to be a steal fake or not ?
