They are not bad after running, in fact, to unpack the sound is a little disappointing, as with Hercules. After lapping, it's still much better, the sound is no longer "boardy", however, I find they lack acute in the equalizer settings for the sound card, I have to push the 8Khz + 9db and 16Khz to + 18db for a sound that I like. The bass is very pronounced and do not necessarily please the neighbors, so playing button behind the box, not necessarily easy to access.
The sound is still less clear and precise than the Hercules.
After this is at the discretion of each, if you like good bass, go there, if you prefer a clean sound with fine treble, there are better elsewhere.
Aesthetic question: they have a mouth, it is undeniable!
In short, for the price they are good, but not miraculous, however.
