I'm no audiophile, nor do I own a pair, but these are praised for their quality/price just about everywhere. £32 on Amazon, so there's quite a considerable saving.
+50p for expedited shipping, if that's any better.
Remember, these are open-back headphones, so may not be suitable for your intended use.
I almost bought these some months ago (before I raised my budget considerably & went for something else) - here are 3 excellent reviews I read on a headphone-enthusiast forum, with thread titles quoted from them below:
they are cheap made but very light and comfortable, long datachable cable and what is the most important the sound is exelent, i didn't find any headset up to £99 better than this one.

I found them uncomfortable and too bright. Harshly bright sound. I guess it depends on head size for the former but yeah.

I created an account to comment on this one.
I have a pair of these and some Bose QuietComfort 25 Acoustic Noise Cancelling headphones. The Superlux sound better, even when I turned on the noise cancelling on the Bose.
To get the best sound, I followed a comment from a Amazon user - you need to break them in. Probably takes 20-40+ hrs. I did this by just leaving them plugged in to an old cd player for a few days whilst I went to work.
They are open ear, so use at home, unless you want to annoy fellow commuters and work colleagues.
Definitely worth buying.

An excellent introduction to open back headphones, a bit too bright (accentuated treble) for some people but on the whole they sound excellent for the price.

he's asking because Gearbest sell rip off stuff, e.g. Xiaomi
