... Wesc bass headphones in black. http://www.kickz.com/uk/wesc/stuff/headphones/bass-headphone-black?utm_term=wesc-bass_headphone&utm_campaign=kickz_uk&utm_medium=base&utm_source=google_shopping&gclid=CLHChaaovbQCFYXLtAodCkoAxQ

A friend of our got these as a freebie and they retail around the £80 mark. Quite frankly, I wouldn't pay £20; The bass is reluctant and the treble is very detailed, which borders on piercing. Thought the Grados were bright, but these Wescs take brightness to another level.

Had never heard of them until one of the phone shops started offering them free with a new PAYG  phone if you spent over about £50.

If it sounds too good to be true...

Your not really there target market !

They are just one of many fashion headphone manufacturers. There headphones were originally started off by the founders of Urbanears.....another brand you won't have heard of, neither are audiophile headphones, pure fashion.

Yeah, why buy the £20 versions - save £10 and get these instead. They have to sound at least as good as a kazoo.

Fashion headphones? It's like wearing a hedgehog. They are ghastly things.
