WOW its a whole new dimension. for the price, its the best..but it needs some modifications, like1. change earpads to a better one, like HM5 pads.(edit: be sure to remove the stock acoustic damper if you use HM5 velor pads.)2 if treble feels too high, use a good equalizer.. i am using free 'Equalizer APO'.3. slightly bend the upper metal band to reduce clamping force.4. Re-discover the music.....again!

outstanding clarity for the price, almost better than my my Rs.9000 sennheiser 518 HDs.the sibilance at 5k-6k frequencies is a bit high. with high quality FLACs and an amp, this reduces. However upper treble and mids are extremely detailed. Lows are good, need an equaliser for increasing sub bass.But,on the whole, absolute value.

These are the underdog of headphones! I have never heard music the way i heard on these headphones and that's when i actually understood that music is really complex and deep. It's not just about the bass. It's about how all the instruments come together with the right amount of bass,treble and mids and create that perfect balance and harmony. I stopped chasing bass after listening to these headphones.About the headphone sound quality:1. They are not for bass heads2. Super awesome sound-stage(Google that if you don't know what that means)3. Really Really Really crystal clear ( Maybe a bit too clear for some people) The treble would be a bit sparkly for some people and it needs some time to getting used to.4. GETTING TO THE BASS!!! - Well they aren't bass monsters, but what they are, are great awesome bass headphones where you wont see that the sound gets muffled when the drums or lows hit. Everything is so clear even when the bass hits. This is something you don't find in cheap headphones.Now i can only explain to a certain point about the sound. So if you are not looking for head thumping bass and looking out more for the most accurate sound on a budget and definitely audiophile sound quality, this is one of the top ones to consider!

Since it is semi open back headphones the sound stage is pretty good,which means the positional audio is excellent.The audio somewhat distorts at high frequency,but it is very common in headphones at this price.My only complaint, as is the case with many others is that its not comfortable right out of the box.Initially it was a horrifying experience because of discomfort.But thankfully you can fix it by pressing the top frame downwards after which these are bearable.And because it has leather ear cushions users tend to sweat more.To avoid this you can replace the cushions with a velour cushions using which you can sit for longer periods of time without sweating.If you are willing to sacrifice a bit of comfort for great audio,i recommend you to buy it.
