I can broadly join previous speakers, but there are also shortcomings. I use these headphones a few weeks now, and I have tested extensively. The sound is not as good as you can read here. Since I already had a lot of headphones and a lot could test, I can say that others do better (and cheaper!). Little "washed out" Sonically in the middle, the highs are also somewhat depressed and not 100% clean over, bass sound from her good. It is of course the player to be observed and the quality of the tracks. I have tested on different devices without EQ setting and with. On mobile phone along with the FiiO E5 and set EQ I could pick out a pleasant sound, 7/10. The processing of the headphones is good, everything is as it should be, 9/10. Also from the seat / halt I am pleasantly surprised, really good is also shielding against external noises. However, my biggest complaint is a noise which develops when walking. At every step you can hear a "knarksen". It is produced by the friction from the internal (rubber-sprung) bracket on the outer plastic bracket, or the connector. You can suppress only by so possitioniert listeners that it is not being made (very far back for me), puts on a thick cap, or one full turning up the music. Sitting or when you stand quietly, of course everything is fine. I am only surprised that this is still no one noticed, but perhaps it is only the case with me. Also pricewise criticism is necessary, which is absolutely not justified. Conclusion: 3 out of 5, still good
