Received these today and used them already. I am now surprised at the bad reviews of the black version of these headphones. People who have bought these have given the thumbs up on here and I agree. Very comfortable, great sound (and sound is very important to me), and they look good. I can maybe foresee losing the grey removable coverings on each headphone (use the size that fits best), but like everything if you look after it properly it should be ok. Most of all I am happy cos I bought these to use when I am in the gym. They are stay on and serve their purpose. Might have been useful to have a carry case but i guess that is a bit unfair to ask for only 10 quid.
