Best portable on-ear headphone up to £100, Awards 2010. Comfortable and great-sounding, you can't ask for more from portable on-ears

Just bought a pair of these and I like em but I do sympathise with the user above - I have some hair!  My only criticism would be that 'portable' is pushing the definition a bit - they're quite large!!  You don't look quite so strange as a pair of iGrados but no-one could be mistaken for thinking you were not wearing headphones!!

Sound quality and detail is excellent however.  I find the 'award-winning' iGrados extremely uncomfortable...the blood supply to your ears is cut off after about 1 min...

Bought these and took them back. Can't say I was amazed by the sound, it was good but I've heard better. Took them back because the band over the head is rock hard plastic and I have a shaved head. They were comfortable for about 2 minutes.

I assume the reviewer who said there is nothing against them has lots of hair. If I'm paying £80 for some headphones I'd expect comfort from a little padding on the head band.
