Can't say I've heard of the brand before.
Are they reputable in the world of upmarket headphones?

What HiFi gave them 5 Stars, there are some reviews around online.

This is the PM i sent to Leo

They are so so without the noise cancellation on, i don't think they are worth £150. With it on, and with the discount, i think they are well worth the money for £50, build quality is solid, and the cable is nice (by QED).

To compare, I also have Sennheiser HD600 and HD580. I think these are well worth the money for £50, but only for the noise cancellation feature. They are not as good as the Senn 580/600 in terms of sound quality but then they don't compare when used in a noisy environment

Also if you look around, there are not that many closed back noise canceling headphones for £50, the ones that are, they are a bit naff. I like the fact that the battery for this is in the ear piece, so no weird block of plastic in the lead, which is a good design decision.

I don't know about headphones but they were very well-respected cartridge (phono) manufacturers.

Nice find, they look bloody impressive

I've just ordered a set as I need a decent pair of headphones at work. They have a radio here in the office which, although it's only played quietly, is still enough to distract me.

My business partner was also impressed - he just bought a set too

Thanks for the heads-up, I just bought a pair - hopefully they will be here by Friday
