Brilliant quality Noise Cancelling Earphones for under £20 with Free Delivery

I bought these off ebay, they dont seems to be very well known brand or are possible new but for the price of £19.98 with free delivery is a bargain!

The sound quality is amazing and comes with loads of fitting etc.

Thought I would share to those music lovers like myself who regularly listen to Ipod or music with earphones!

    You'd have to be suspicious about a maker's name of "Dun U"...!

    They aren't noise cancelling.

    Only the listing claims to be noise cancelling - the headphone spec shows they offer PASSIVE attenuation only (like earplugs would).

    ACTIVE attenuation (noise cancelling) requires a power source.
  • No im not the ebay seller, Ive just bought them recently and for the money, they are a great price. hence why I shared them on here.

    If you into quality earphones like myself and are aware of brands like Monster etc with prices ranging £100+ then you will appreciate paying under £20 for high quality sounding earphones. I read reviews about these so wanted to try them out.
    Yes you can buy earphones for £6 or even £2.50 off ebay but the sound quality is tinny and terrible.
    Oh well...was just trying to share a good deal:)

    When they say “" BRAND SPANKING NEW! FACTORY SEALED & BOXED "”, what does the "SPANKING" mean?

    I've a set of Bose Noise cancellers and Aiwa Noise cancellers, Bose are hyped for the price (Mine were used and £75) but the different between the Bose and the Aiwa is huge, mainly in long term comfort.

    Admittedly I mainly use them on planes, but the Bose I can wear for hours without really feeling them, the Aiwa's I can wear for 4-5 hours before they get a bit uncomfortable. Soundwise the Bose are better, they have less hiss for the NC part, but to be honest on a plane it's a bit of a loosing battle and you always get some noise bleeding in.

    The Dunu get okay reviews on Headfi, I guess if your happy with them they are all you need, are the Bose Overpriced at £300, certainly, £100's worth maybe, but they are far better on a long journey than the Aiwas. You pays your money and takes your choice with headphones, comfort is more important the pure sound quality..

    Der, odd request here. I don't use earphone much so normally only buy cheapies. But, I use ear plugs ((boots bio ears) every night. Even though I wash (ha ha), there is always a slight feeling that the bio ears have left a greasy deposit, so any earphones tend to fall out.

    I was wondering if anyone has a recommendation for any ear phone that they find remain in situ.
