You might have thought there weren't many ways to improve on a simple set of earphones. But the MOS1008 phones from IXOS are built around 15mm Mylar cones that take advantage of Ministry of Sound's M Bass technology to boost low level bass sounds. They also feature a built-in slim-line volume control. If you're looking to replace your broken old ear buds or are just want to improve on your current ones then the MOS1008 could be a perfect replacement. Coming with solid posts connected to the earphones they're easy to pop in and out of your ear and sound as good as you can get. The built-in volume control is very handy and its tiny design means it's unobtrusive but still easy to use.
The frequency response is a typical 20 Hz to 20 kHz; the maximum power input is 60mw, which isn't really an issue as they're designed for portable players. The earphones have a 1.2 metre lead and 3.5 mm gold plated jack and are rounded off with a protective storage case. The MOS1008s are a good purchase and worth looking at if in-ear phones are your preference. --Nick Baxter

Dont go there! Having seen these, and seeing the Ministry of sound label, it surely must have been a reputable product...way off. The headphone case is poorly made and breaks easily and the headphones cant cope with the high G's and F# or the low A's! instead a squeak is emmited completely ruining the effect of the song.
Shocking! After looking through the reviews, I thought I would chance my arm and go for these "Ministry Of Sound" earphones. After all, they can't be all bad, and the set does look quite trendy, and how bad could they really be? Man, I was in for a shock!
Although they do indeed look nice, the quality of sound these earphones produce is appaling! I am very into my "sound quality" and the fullness of sound is very important to me, and as I listen to a lot of music on the go, often in noisy environments like walking... more info
Great if your ears are the right shape I bought these earphones hoping that they would be a good replacement for my existing earphones that came with my iPod clone. I have always had problems keeping 'in-the-ear' earphones wedged in my ear as they frequently drop out. Unfortunately I have the same problem with this model. The sound seems to be ok, but there is a noticeable lack of bass compared to other phones (even after playing with the EQ settings on the player). The built in volume slider is very convenient and is the only redeeming feature.... more info
Not too bad. Good crisp reproduction of music. A bit down on the bass side (after all we're talking about earphones here). An interesting feature is the volume control which is located on the cord. This feature is not bulky and is quite well thought of. But one wonders how much of the price had gone to the storage box. Emblazoned with the Ministry of Sound logo, the box looks like a see-through mouse which is better suited on the table - to be shown off rather than being kept in the cd bag. Overall - a better than... more info
