Audio Relief

Easy on the ears

After having gone through many, and I mean many pairs of cheap in-ear phones not including those daft IPod ones I've finally seen the light.

I was looking to branch out into the real world of head phones and this is where I've started. What I wanted was something that was comfy, practical, packed some good base and didn't burst my pocket. The outcome was a snazzy pair of Sony MDRZX300B's. The good thing about these phones are they aren't very expensive at all for what you get. Amazon will sort you out for around £20, and Play will even beat that.

So after having 'burned' in the phones for a good 10's of hours I can happily say they are still doing themselves justice, and here's my own rating so far:

Comfort: 4/5 (Later models have a cushioning I skimped out on)

Practicality: 5/5 (Easy round the neck and a chunky cord for few tangles)

Bass: 4/5 (Better after some 'burning' in)

Value:5/5 (Honestly couldn't argue with that price for what I got)
