VIDEO: Headphone wars – Philips O'Neill Stretch headphones vs the Retro i-Megos

Gerald put two top-performing headphones through their paces other day. The retro-tastic i-Meegos with their steel grilles are more club-wear, while the Phillips Stretch headphones – a collaboration with Animal – are all about extreme sports and listening to music while you’re bungee jumping and suchlike. Gerald doesn’t bungee jump below, what he does do is give them a workout. What’s his verdict on the sound and just how stretchy is that little thing?
