I 'll state up front that I be no audiophile , but I love music and I be pretty picky about how my music sound . I order these so I can listen to some of my `` parental advisory label '' song at work : -rrb- and let I tell you , for the price you would be hard-pressed to do better . the sound be just awesome , I can not even find the right adjective to describe it . Rich , full , textured , deep , etc. etc. . you get the idea . I could pick up tiny detail and even flaw in the music . I also find they to be very comfortable once I get they properly adjust , but I will also say that I be a girl , and my ear and head be probably smaller than a lot of guy ' ear . I get headache from anything that clamp my head too much or be too heavy , which be a problem with a lot of headphone . the eh-150 be light and rest on the head without be too tight , which be a huge plus for I . overall I would say they be totally worth what you be go to pay for they . to get much better than this , you would have to go up considerably in price , and hey , some of we have other thing to spend money on besides a $ 500 pair of headphone - like actual music to listen to . : -rrb- get these can !
