Amazon.co.uk Review
If you want a great listening experience at home, at work or on the move the IXOS MOS1006 compact headphones could be the perfect answer. They may not provide the absolutely perfect sound reproduction craved by purists but for casual listening they offer things more expensive headphones can't. Built around a closed back 40mm driver and featuring Ministry of Sound's M Bass technology they produce more than enough volume. The clarity is fantastic for such a compact design (largely thanks to the bigger drivers) and the M Bass livens up the bass a great deal.
With a frequency response starting at 20 Hz and peaking at 20 kHz, they don't have the range of more expensive headphones, but it's more than adequate for home or casual use. The maximum input power of 400 mW is more than enough. The headphones have a sensitivity of 101 dB at 1 mW and come with a 1.5 metre cable and 3.5 mm gold plated jack.
Sound quality and power are good, the looks are great and the padded ear cushions make the headphones comfortable to wear for long periods. There are a couple of minor gripes about the design: firstly, the slide adjustable sides have a tendency to slip as you put them on or take them off. Secondly, the current design has a wire coming from each headphone, which can get tangled when you take them off. A single side wire and a wire-mounted volume control would be better. Gripes aside, this is a great set of headphones that you can use in any situation. --Nick Baxter
