So, I broke my iPod's Apple headphones. Oops. Clumsy.
Had a rummage round on eBay, saw [link|http://www.koss.com/koss/kossweb.nsf/p?openform&pc^eb^SPARKPLUG|these] for a tenner plus postage.
Verdict? Bloody superb. Rich, deep bass, vivid midrange and crisp high-end. Lovely. Apple should ship these instead.
AND they're really comfy.
AND they were really cheap.
Result!
