" ...  Some folks have complained about the comfort of these, stating they are a bit tight both on the ears and on the head (fitting a little to snug), but that isn't the case for me.  ...  "

" ...  If you're the type that likes overly booming bass then look elsewhere, you wont find that there.  ...  "
comment
" ...  The bass is ample but not as strong as the Audio Technica M50X, but the treble is mostly clean with a slight shimmer, the only complaint I have. ... These are for pure music lovers and not for people who like added bass.  ...  "
comment
" ...  The bass is quite decent for an open-back pair of headphones and the treble is very nice and not too harsh, though it can get on your nerves (depends on what music you listen to).  ...  "
comment
" ...  The OB-1s have better bass and sound stage. ... They hold their own in the mid range and treble.  ...  "
comment
" ...  The sounds are crisp while having a bass that supports the whole song while not overpowering it, while the actual set itself is comfortable and secure .  ...  "
comment
" ...  The bass isn't overbearing and the headset itself is extremely comfortable.  ...  "
comment
" ...  the bass is nice and tight, and the highs are right where I like them.  ...  "
comment
" ...  They are on the warm side, so these would be good for some hip hop/rap/other bass heavy genres.  ...  "
