Alright , im not a music professional and i dont record . but i have these for around the house use and trip and they be simply amazing . a lot of people say these be uncomfortable but that a lie . these thing be great . I wear they from Philidelphia to Montreal and they didnt bother I a bit . I also be they when i mow the lawn and they keep the noise down low so i can actually hear my music . the only real problem be that they dont have the greatest bass in the world but all of its other feature make up for it . Worth the money .
