the headphone themselves be decent , but I have my quarrel . the phone look great ! do not be mistake about that . these be some stylish headphone , but the sound quality ... just do not match up . the driver be suppose to be handcraft 40mm , but they sound like some Sony headphone I have that be worth $ 25 . there be a sort of echo in the cup that sound like one of those kid microphone toy . you do not really hear it much in music , but once you listen to something with someone talking , you notice it big time . there be a sort of static produce when I listen to FLAC or anything close to that quality level . the sound be fairly clear , but seem to be muffle with any kind of rock music . it sound awesome for techno , dubstep , and hiphop , but I think even there you may want some more bass . another thing I hear a ton of people complain about these thing hurt they head . I mean ... really they do stretch people . I leave these thing on my computer case -lrb- a bit bigger than a head -rrb- about three night and viola ! perfect comfortable fit . I think I will be return these ... and i get they on sale for about $ 48 ; still not worth it . I think I be finally go to join the athm50 club . tl ; dr headphone look cool , comfortable , but the sound just be not there I have even hear that Koss PortaPros sound better , but can not confirm that on my own merit .
