General Comments
Got the Sennheiser MX 500 to replace my brilliant i river (Sennheiser MX350s) headphones after they finally gave up. Started rattling with the bass which was no good as I am a techno fan.
The 500s cost £15 from Argos but were not up to the standard that I expected. Originally thought that it was because of the shop, I hate Argos!
The sound quality was a bit tinny which meant that many tracks were not as good as before, however the rock tracks and standard tracks sound good just not those with a lot of bass.
The build quality has been excellent as they are showing no sign of wear and tear despite the abuse they endure. I expect all my products to last.
I would recommend these headphones to anybody who listens to 'ordinary' music but not those who like their bass
