Fairly cheap for these by the looks. $25 at Kogan, $34 at Domain. 4.6 Stars on Amazon. Might be OK for those wanting a cheap set of On-Ears.

Yeah I agree. Their $5-$10 In-Ear's are amazing for the price.
cant go wrong at that price for sure
great for kids, can never have enough of these @ $15And as expected a freq response that goes farther into the low end than headphones 4x the price.
10 - 22000
Most do the dreaded (to me) 20 - 20000 range. Like my tastes in mature material….I require more bottom than that to get excited.
Please explain this in English. Thanks.
And what's this pls?
Sorry all. I'll 'splain.
All speakers have a 'frequency range' that is typically listed in the specs or on the box.
For instance, these headphones have a 10 - 22,000 HZ (hertz) frequency range.To over-simplifyL
The lower the number on the left (10 in the case of these headphones) the more bass or 'bottom end' the speakers can play.
The higher the number on the right (22,000 for these cans) the more high frequencies (treble) the speaker can play.Theoretically, most headphones are 20 - 20,000 Hz. The logic is that the human ear can't hear frequencies below 20 Hz on the low end and and above 20,000 Hz on the high end.
As a former DJ and 'pro-amateur' sound enthusiast I won't touch any headphones that show 20 - 20000.
In my PERSONAL experience, a headphone that only goes as low as 20hz on the low end doesn't have that deeeeep punchy bass that I love when I listen to hip-hop, EDM or even good classical music.On the flip side, headphones that top out at 20,000hz on the high end don't sound good to me either as it doesn't sound as 'crisp'.
Philips consistently sell headphones that dip well below and above the 'normal' frequency range…at a MUCH lower cost.
The difference in sound, to ME is IMMEDIATELY clear. Especially on the bottom bass end.
There are MANY MANY MANY other factors but for me, the freq range is the start. You can't hear what your headphones can't play. End of story.I bought these cheap: http://www.dicksmith.com.au/earphones-headphones/pioneer-se-…
and I love them. (If you can get the fit right…)
You'll notice the frequency range of these Pioneers range is 5 - 23,000.Hope that helped.

…you'd know that quoted frequency response is an absolute load of bollocks.
It's the response that matters, not the limits.

Sounds like your ears are rooted after all that amateur DJ'ing and pro enthusiasm that you've done over the years.
If you like bass, then buy "bass heavy" 'phones. These will have a bump in the response at the lower frequencies.
On the flip side, headphones that top out at 20,000hz on the high end don't sound good to me either as it doesn't sound as 'crisp'.
You sir, are totally full of it :-D

hilarious
I used them - they're OK for the price. The only issue I have is the cable is quite short, so good for walking with, but bad when using with my PC.
Ohhhh DJ style i must buy them now, if i do i will look like a DJ and be cool and popular and get lots of women, even if i am no good.
Great one
I got a pair for my daughter awhile ago when they were the same price at Coles. Amazing for the money.
IMHO Philips are the king of affordable 'sleeper' headphones. My personal fave brand when on sale.
Thanks OP.
