Does anybody own a pair of these?
Must admit, I'm tempted to buy them at such a cheap price just on looks only...
Really need some comfy headphones and these seem to be well reviewed on Amazon, but I'm not sure if the sound will be up to much.
Finally lost patience with my Studio Beats and need to buy something, but don't want to spend over about £160.

Really pleased with them - nice clear sound and certainly the most light, comfortable headphones I've ever owned!

I'm traveling next week and I'm tempted to take them with me, but I think the noise leakage levels are just a bit too high.
