The rainforest has them down to ~£20 (rrp is around £100 apparently). They aren't a headphone Im at all familiar with, but for the price they might be worth a punt, even if just for profiting from a resale! Anyone have any experience with these? I know two of Klipsch's IEMs and they're far from awe-insipiring.
 
Okay dokay - I look forward to your impressions :) I got the same idea from reviews, decent bass and treble clarity but perhaps a touch too much bass leading to muddy mids. Might be worth the punt at £20, but then do I really need anither budget portable??

Oh, and sonically the ONE and the ONE (II) are identicle. The (II) just has improved aesthetics and a new 'tangle-free' cable over the originals (again according to reviews).
 
Overclockers do not allow forum members to link or mention the names of competitors (so anyone that sells the same stuff, e.g. computing equipment) - so, to avoid this, we use adaptions of the name of the website; some other examples of this are fleabay, the bay (can you guess what they are referring to?) and the other big one is the rainforest, referring to the biggest internet retailer in the States, based in Seattle Washington, it shares its name with the worlds largest rainforest, with the second largest river (sharing the same name) running through it, located in South America, passing through Brazil, Columbia and Peru to name a few.

If you can't get it from this then there is truly no hope for you and I sincerely hope you wrap it... :D
 
Yeah, just decided to grab a pair - way I see it, even if I don't like it I should be able to sell it on for a profit as a 'nearly new' headphone anyway.

Not really a fan of bass-heavy cans, I prefer neutral or slightly on the warm side. Will pop up a quick review if people want when I get them :)
 
Yup. Inline iPhone controls, only the middle button (as you say) works with Android.

Thanks for the pics, looks like quite a tidy case - they may get used after all. Is that an airline and 6.3mm adaptor I see?

Oh, and entirely off topic, but how do you rate those speaker stands? Nearly grabbed a set a while back but couldnt find any reviews on them. I assume they're similar to, if not, these?
 
These are just horrible to listen to as stock - they needed some serious EQing before I could listen to them, bass was just all over the place. After a few cuts in the bass region I have to echo PapaLazaru's thoughts, they are a good on-ear set of portables for a stupidly low price. Definitely worth the £20 if you're in the market.
 
Got 15 hours burn in atm, am actively burning them in - despite not believing in the burn in process :)
