these headphone sound great . after break in for 72 hr the bass be nice and everything be sound like you in concert ! use high quality file be a must . it be easy to tell the difference between a 128kbs mp3 and CD quality music . listen to a Saxaphone solo you can actually hear the pad click on the instrument . Trans-Siberian Orchestra be truly awesome . good for rap , Rock , classical , jazz , etc. . . if more bass be desire -lrb- as some previous review -rrb- you can always dial some in the eq on iTunes . I pay $ 68 on sale and there be no other headset out there that compete for that much .
