I buy these headphone primarily for music and pc gaming , and although I find they a little overpriced they do not disappoint . the sound quality be good ; I listen to a wide variety of music , from rap to techno to classical , and I be happy with the overall sound of these phone . if I be to nitpick , though , I would say that the bass on these phone may sound muddy to some ; it really vary for each person and I would recommend that you try a pair at you local store -lrb- best buy , target , etc. usually have display stand if there be no bose store around -rrb- before you buy . on to comfort , then . I can honestly say that these headphone be by far the most comfortable I have ever worn -lrb- note : I have a fairly large head , too -rrb- . if you like on-ear headphone , then you 'll love the way these feel . the cushioning be soft and do not cause you ear to sweat like I have experience with some other on-ear headphone . I would recommend the bose on-ear headphone to anyone look for a very comfortable pair of headphone with good sound ; if you be look for the best bang for you buck as far as sound quality go , though , I would probably look elsewhere .
