Got them today and broke them in by sticking them in the bosslady's dictation machine (long story short, I have to actually use the machine itself rather than getting the files onto computer because my computer's module is not compatible with the files on her machine and it's really tough sometimes hearing her on the machine!) and omfgs...they are aaaammmmaaaazing! They completely cover my ears, you could probably see them from space but I. Don't. Care. They are going to be awesome at blocking out daft chavs on the coach. (Last time I was coming back from Manechester, I was stuck in front of 2 chavs who would not shut. Up. and all I wanted was a nap and it was at that moment, my old headphones decided to up and die on me . WOE.) Am currently leaving them in my bag because I'm going to keep on using them for the dictation. £22 well spent I think.
