" ...  I was stunned at the quality of the sound. ... They sound as good in Bluetooth mode due to some special engineering. ... This rings true and the proof is the sound!  ...  "

" ...  The sound is much better and after an hour of use my ears really got used to it and it sound awesome.  ...  "
comment
" ...  Sound separation though is excellent and definitely worth more than I paid for. ... I wouldn’t say they are audiophile headphones, but they certainly do satisfy my audiophile ears still (probably due to the fantastic sound separation and sound stage), but like I said, I just wouldn’t make music with them because of the not flat frequency response.  ...  "
comment
" ...  I love music and want it to be delivered to my ears in the very best quality available.  ...  "
comment
" ...  How do they sound? ... I listen to podcasts 90% of the time, so they sound fine for that, and they do block out enough of the machine noise so that I don't have to turn the volume up super loud. ... Helen Zaltzman and Roman Mars and NPR all sound fine on it.  ...  "

" ...  However you can buy bigger ear cups from the company for a few extra bucks if you want to.  ...  "
comment
" ...  These headphones feel pretty indestructible compared to the pair of Sonys and Beats I have. ... It also has a gap between the metal and your head unlike many other headphones. ... My only complaint is the tighter fit these headphones seemed to have. ... They feel more snug on the head than Beats (reference), but I've heard by replacing the earpads with the XL it delivers a more comfortable fit for longer wearing sessions.  ...  "

" ...  Hands down the best pair of headphones I’ve ever had. ... Build quality is on another level, they are soo comfy (been wearing them for hours and no discomfort), sound quality is pristine for its purpose ... I wouldn’t say they are audiophile headphones, but they certainly do satisfy my audiophile ears still (probably due to the fantastic sound separation and sound stage), but like I said, I just wouldn’t make music with them because of the not flat frequency response. ... They actually start to hurt after wearing for a while, I have ordered the XL cushions in hope of a more comfortable fit, the discomfort really is taking away from the experience.  ...  "
comment
" ...  The pads are super thin, so if you get these go ahead and get the XL pads. ... They're pretty tight, too. ... The bluetooth/on switch has a good click feel, too. ... At least to my hand. ... The headband part is comfy though. ... Edit - 5 24 2018 - Got new XL ear pads in today. ... I had been using the Sony pads between the slim pads and my head and that was pretty nice actually. ... The V Moda pads aren't as nice as the Sony's, but much better than those thin sad excuses of ear pads it came with. ... I've also masking taped the original thin ear pads on top of the thicker pads to make it even more comfortable.  ...  "
comment
" ...  I love the sound and with the XL cushions the fit.  ...  "
comment
" ...  If I could go back, I might not buy these simply because of the comfort issues I had when I first got them, but I'm happy with them now.  ...  "

comment
" ...  *The bass is very good but I could use a little more bass. ... (I'm a basshead so the bass will satisfy most people.) ... I originally had the Sony XB950 BT and the bass on those are spectacular especially with the extra bass button. ... The bass isn't as powerful as the Sony XB950 BT but the VModa Crossfade sound better and are clearer.  ...  "
comment
" ...  However, I didn't find the bass overwhelming and still has good highs and lows. ... If you're a bass head then you'll feel right at home with these headphones.  ...  "
comment
" ...  The bass is super clean and has a nice punch (something I was looking for for rock music and hip hop), but it’s not obnoxious in any way. ... Vocals/mids are a wee bit recessed but are natural and clean.  ...  "
comment
" ...  I have some Sony Mega Bass whatever number it is from Best Buy, and those sound better I think, but they're plastic, and they've already broken three times (repaired with string and epoxy, and paper towel and epoxy), so I had to replace them before they were totally unusable. ... I guess they sound fine, bass and treble and all that stuff, I don't care.  ...  "
comment
" ...  The bass is very consuming but not overwhelming and the high/mids are clear as can be.  ...  "

comment
" ...  These headphones feel pretty indestructible compared to the pair of Sonys and Beats I have. ... In fact, it wouldn't be fair to compare the build quality from these to Beats or any Sony headphones. ... The headphones are build upon a solid yet flexible frame of metal that gives another quality of premium in a users hands. ... It also has a gap between the metal and your head unlike many other headphones.  ...  "

On Amazons side, I will never buy something that says it is used in very good condition again. ... For all I know that may be the reason these phones only lasted a year, so I will not make that mistake again. ... It's just a shame they lasted only 14 months before breaking.  ...  "
