If you are an audiophile, a teenager, or have a home studio, these are the headphones for you. At first I was resistant, because I am a rapper, and a lot of the reviews were negative for one reason only: not enough bass. These headphones have GREAT BASS. I was pleasantly surprised with the amount of bass that is actually in these headphones. The highs are crisp, the mids sound great, and the lows are really deep. These are the most perfectly balanced headphones that I have ever used. I would have to say at LEAST 10X better than the skullkandy ink'd earbuds. The build quality is excellent. If you like your music LOUD, then these headphones are for you. If you turn these all the way up, and put them on, you can't hear anything around you, and noone around you can hear what song you're listening to, but if you take them off, they're like speakers. Its amazing the amount of noise-isolation these have. THE BEST $30 I'VE EVER SPENT IN MY ENTIRE LIFE.
What's great about it: Almost Everything, except for what's not so great.
What's not so great: Cheap-feeling build quality, but in reality, really solid.
