Do these tech specs sound good for a pair of headphones?

460
Connector-3.5 mm straight plug
Cable length-1.4 m
Frequency response-16–23,000 Hz
THD-<0.5% (1 kHz/100 dB)
Impedance-32 Ω
Transducer principle-Dynamic, closed
Sound pressure level (1 kHz, 1 Vrms)-114 dB (1 kHz/1 Vrms)

The RRP of these are £74.99, or, if directly converted to US Dollars, that's $116.99, but I got them for 48% less -- well I haven't actually got them, but I've ordered them, and they should be here by Tuesday.
The actual make and model are Sennheiser HD238 precision. They're not the latest headphones on the market, but they're not terribly old -- about 2009 at the earliest, I think.

Here's a picture of the box, and the heaphones:

They look alright, a little pricey though. Personally, I got mine for only 30 dollars, and they're very nice and haven't had any problems.

The RRP was £74.99, but the price I got them for was about £39, + £9pp, it totals £48 roughly, but that's still like £27 cheaper.
 
75 for a Stereo Pair? Fuck, that's bad. You coulda got a 5.1 surround for about 10 cheaper, half-price too. I think you got ripped off big time.

Yeah. As for the reviews, basically:
16 voted 5/5
14 voted 4/5
3 voted 3/5
2 voted 2/5
3 voted 3/5

Therefore, the average rating from the 38 reviews, is 80%.
But 80% is better than Big Rigs: Over the Road Racing -- have I mentioned how that game has the lowest rating of any video game that has ever been rated in the history of video games stretching right back over 60 years ago? If you were to average every single rating given for this game, it would have a rating percent of about 3%, at maximum, I reckon. Maybe 3.5%.It's so unbelievably crap (it's like they forgot to make the game), that a very early alpha testing version of a ROM hack with hardly anything finished, will probably seem like an extremely well-made game.

The only thing that seems odd to me is the length. 1.4 m (or 4.6 ft) seems a bit long to me, but that's just my opinion.

I got them for £39. 10 pounds cheaper than £75 = £65.

Also, you're very immaturely simply referring to the simple fact that they are stereo. That's not the only thing that makes up the price. The packaging, the bag that comes with it, the quality, resistance, THD, etc.
