Just to start with the negative: the bass is actually very present (one star less). But do not worry if your mp3 player has an equalizer so you can easily find weaker bass and a very good sound very good to see, because it should not be forgotten (we do not remember it enough) that the headphones also depend the quality of the present program. If the compression of the piece is bad and headphones are good, these will necessarily be more quickly the defects of this compression. And then there was also the adaptation: each brand, each helmet has its own "sound profile" and should always give time to our ear to adapt. After that the sound sounds good. When ergonomics: Perfect for me. I greatly appreciate the insulating power of this closed headphones. On the street or in the subway I am isolated and although I sometimes have to push a little music is ten times better than "normal" headphones. Great price. Very Satisfied.
