Although at £80 these could not be described as cheap, they are staggering value for money when compared with other high-end in-ear monitors; I auditioned these along with some Sennheiser IE8s (over £200!) and the Phonaks simply blew the Sennheisers away. They are so revealing of every detail, and nothing gets lost in the mix, ever. Bass response is excellent, but balanced - if you're looking for headphones that will drive your eardrums into your brain then I'd suggest these are not for you. If you're looking for an audiophile experience, though, I find it hard to imagine that there is anything better, and better value, on the market.
The only downside is that they are so transparent they make crummy recordings sound like the rubbish they are, but with good source material they are simply brilliant. I use them mainly on an iPod that has iTunes+ encoded tracks from lossless sources, and it sounds wonderful.
Also very light and comfortable to wear, once you've got over the fiddling with finding the right ear piece size and used to the over-ear style.
Unhesitatingly recommend these to anyone, except for total bassheads. And even for them, I'd definitely audition these alongside all the other similarly priced big brand stuff.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Edit (14 October 2011)
Since writing the above, I've had the opportunity to listen the IE8s more extensively, and it's clear to me now that they are excellent 'phones, so I think my opinion regarding their performance compared with the Phonak's is not justified. However, is their performance worth the extra £££? Now that would be really hard to justify. I suspect in a blind ear test, if it were possible to carry out such a thing, almost anyone would be very hard pressed to tell any significant difference in sound quality between the two, so the Phonak's still win hands down in that regard.

I recently upgraded my portable player from a Sony NWA-806 to a Cowon iAUDIO9. The Sony was a nice wee player, and my 128kbps ATRAC3plus encoded music was detailed enough to match my old Sennheisser CX300s, but I encoded all my CDs into FLAC when I got the Cowon, and suddenly the sound felt very lacking in clarity and depth from the CX's compared to my hi-fi. Having looked at pretty much everything from higher end Sennheissers to £180 Shures, I purchased these Phonaks having read some rave reviews.
And... they are as good as others say they are. It took a little getting used to the symmetrical cable (the CX300 has a short left ear, and round-the-neck longer right ear cable), but the fit from the medium ear tips is perfect for me and the way they block outside sound comparable or perhaps slightly better than the CX's.
The sound is like nothing I've ever heard. I listen to everything from Beethoven to Metallica, but mostly tested these on a middle ground of Norah Jones, Sting and My Chemical Romance. The detail is stunning, the bass is fluid and warm, and voices and mid-range instruments like sax sound as though either you are in a room listening to them, or they are inside your head. It actually doesn't sound like listening through earphones, which is impressive beyond anything I have heard before. Trebles are clear without being too sharp, and I noticed little things like hearing the difference between different snares, or triangles being played quietly in the background. Stings voice is amazing when he's blasting out in full voice, but on the mellower songs like Moon Over Bourbon Street I could hear every nuance of emotion too.
If there's a downside, it's that for an extra £20 or less from some places you can get the full kit with extra filters, the Comply tips and the cleaning tool, but for a buy-it-and-it-works solution at this price they are wonderful.

After a couple of days of much research, it seemed that these were the headphones to go for at this price range. That was undoubtedly the right decision.
These lightweight things are just brilliant. The detail is brilliant - I'm noticing things that simply weren't the same before, mostly subtle keyboard and synth parts, and much better definition between guitar parts, and more obvious effects on guitars (such as phasing, subtle delay).
As for the bass...these are definitely the best bass I've experienced. It's not too bassy as such, just the bass is clear and defined. It's easier to hear what the bassist is playing, and bass drums sound full and deep, not just cardboard boxes.
For anyone with an ipod, stick the 'Rock' EQ on and never look back. It was practically designed for these headphones, they make the perfect combination.
