Earphones / Headphones: Where to try, what to buy?

urban ears plattan can be picked up for £38. awesome headphone for the money - minimal design, great sound and functions with mic, remote and a socket for someone else to plug into. look no further.

They actually look ace. Can anyone else vouch for the sound? I don't distrust you but I always insist on a second opinion after it turned out my hemorrhoids were just a lump of melted Blackpool rock I'd sat on.
