Don't forget those good ol' cashback sites - 1.1% from TCB
Maybe 1.65% if it falls under an audio visual purchase

I've had these for around 15 months now and just a few things to note:
- The Sony logos on the buds themselves will fade within a month or two
- The sound quality is great but might be bass heavy for some
- The cable, in reality, sits somewhere halfway normal and tangle-free
- Build quality is great, as with pretty much all of Sony's headphones, or maybe I just got lucky: My previous pair (similar sound, different model) lasted around 30 months before one ear gave out and this pair is in it's 15 month running
Value for money is great. It's easily in the same league as my brother's Sennheiser Momentum in-ears and at a fraction of the price. I'd say go for this if you want bass and build quality and Soundmagic E10s if you want extra treble but a step down in build (they break so easily). The Sennheisers just aren't worth for marginally better sound quality.
