I be great fan of bose . I try Dr. Dre as well . I buy and return bose some time back . it be very uncomfortable and the sound be distort . Dr. Dre be design for only one kind of music , it can not play classical . there a 50 % off offer for Dr. Dre . I almost buy it . for some reason I go thru the review . when some one suggest these can . do some more research and i know instantly new i want these headphone . I be in India on vacation . somehow i need these can . could not wait . order they and make arrangement to bring it to India . for reason beyond my grasp these be not available here . I be not disappoint at all . it do justification to all kind of music . though the Bass be little low . may be that be from my experience from previous headphone . as I play it more and more they sound even better . I recommend this one for any music lover who like to listen unmodified music . do not fall for enhance bass headphone .
