I consider myself as a sophisticated MP3 and consumers have more players and in ears in use. This rather favorable in ear but makes me absolutely happy! Great space, wonderful vocal reproduction, live recordings are a true pleasure. If you want more pressure or bass, just to buy something from AKG or BOSE. Who a great sound, a great resolution will, with which one sometimes forgets that one hears only mp3, can strike here without hesitation. To all who are in the initial start-up disappointed with the bass reproduction: Just be patient, also a headphone needs like a good speaker a certain break-in period. I am extremely positively surprised.
