This is my first decent pair of headphones so this mini review or rather my thoughts might lack some of the more in depth detail some of you like but here we go anyway.

I got the Lindy Premium headphones, they came in a big cardboard box well packed with bubble pack. At the bottom of this box (which my little daughter now uses as a boat and a house for her toys  ;D) was my headphones.
The first thing that struck me when I got the headphones out was the build quality. They are rock solid! The very well built and the connections were very easy to plug into the headphone. All connections are gold plated and the cable is thick and very well made by the feel of it.
Now I tested Final Fantasy 13 game, The Silent Comedy Gasoline song, A bit of Final Fantasy 7 Advent Children sound track and some normal tv footage.

With each sample it was as if I was hearing the music for the first time. Take Gasoline there is a violin being played in the background and I could hear the slight roughness of the bow hitting the strings, stunning!
One thing I noticed is bass doesnt seem to be lacking but at the same time its not over powering the rest of the music, this is where my Sonys were boomy but lost the finer detailing in music/games/movies etc.

For £75 I feel as if Ive cheated Lindy out of cash I would have happly paid more to me there that good. I'm very happy.

Now I have the audio bug listening to the tv without these headphones seems boring, like Im missing that extra bit of goodness, so I can see me going down the surround sound route for daytime and some night time movie playing. Time to get saving.
