Absolutely astonishing mix sound quality, comfort, durability, build quality, and portability. I own several headphones from Monster, Sennheiser, and Bowers & Wilkins, and none of them can match the V-Moda's in all of the categories. There are dozens of stellar reviews all over the web on these so I won't rehash them, but it doesn't matter if you listen to classical or rap, you will love them. Finally a headphone that can be fun and bassy like the Dr. Beats line, but have the audio separation and the high frequency response of a Sennheiser!
What's great about it: Stellar build quality, sound quality, and portability
What's not so great: No major drawbacks- but may be a little flashy for your taste

Not very pleased with sound quality

The center channel is the most important speaker in a home theater setup. That being said, the SP-C22 does not live up to the requirements placed on it as the center of a HT. It's not necessarily a bad speaker, especially for the price, but the key thing it should do, reproduce dialog, it does not do well at all. I struggled to hear conversations in movies, especially when voices dropped low and there was a distinct lack of fullness. I moved one of my cheap Pioneer surrounds up to the center channel and I could actually hear dialog significantly better. Everything else sounded tinny (as in thin and metallic), but this was somewhat preferable over the muddiness of the SP-C22. When I eventually replaced it with a Polk CS10, the difference was night and day. Dialog was easier to hear, there was a bottom end that was present and a fullness that I just couldn't get from the SP-C22.
All that being said, this isn't a bad speaker and there may have been some more receiver settings that I needed to tweak in order to elicit better sound. The build quality was great and I appreciated the rubber feet Pioneer includes to help you angle the speaker to fire at the MLP. However, as this was my first HT setup, I went with what sounded good on the first run and the SP-C22 just didn't hold up.

What receiver are you running? If you are underpowering it with a mediocre receiver, any speaker will sound awful. I'm running this on a Marantz SR7007 and it sounds brilliant.
