this be probably the best 5 buck you 'll ever spend . certainly on headphone . I have be use a $ 10 Koss over-the-ear headphone from Walmart . this one beat it hand down . I hear sound that I have not heard\/noticed before on the Koss , my car stereo , my Altec Lansing VS2621 PC speaker , or my Harman Kardon HK395 PC speaker . I listen to all kind of music : pop , folk , piano , country , hip pop , soul ... this headphone produce wonderful sound for all of they . highly recommend as a budget headphone .
