" ... Beats are okay with sound and great looks, but I’ve watched reviews with these along with keeping them in my cart on here for the longest time, they had a sale on these so I thought I would take my chances with them and I can I say I’m glad I did! ... No wonder why they are award winning headphones, they sound so amazing and clear! ... "
" ... These are the best sounding headphones i ever had or heard. ... "
" ... Bigger would mean more sound sealing and more comfort. ... "
" ... I use the Vmoda for gaming and music (hip hop, hard rock, etc) and the HD600s I still keep close for listening to more acoustic type music. ... "
" ... As far as audio quality goes, I was using Spotify with the music quality set to 320kbps (highest quality available) with the headphones plugged directly into my 2017 iMac desktop. ... I have Sennheiser earbuds that are over 5 years old that produce better range of sound than these headphones. ... "

" ... One of the best purchases I've made, hands down ... "
" ... The audiotechnica are slightly more comfortable. ... "
" ... In 3 years ive gone through one set of ear pads and am on my second now. ... The stock earpads were far too small for me, but the XLs are super comfy and worth it. ... The durability is amazing as well, the only thing that seems to have worn at all is the ear pads. ... "
" ... They're extremely stylish with tons of customization options, they are light-weight, comfortable, and most importantly ... Although they will fit comfortably and pretty much most ear-sizes, after extended hours of use you will start to feel it . ... "
" ... These are hands down the best I have ever used. ... "
" ... You may have to consider the XL cushions that are way more confortable. ... "
" ... Do get the XL pads. ... More comfortable and improves the sound slightly. ... "
" ... These are hands down one of the fest sets I own. ... These are full size over ear but they are not insanely big just perfect ( and I have a large head and ears) also came with a great case the cable is very high quality and can even be exchanged for a cable with a boom Mic . ... "

" ... But like I said they are very strong/durable. ... "
" ... Honestly the build quality is what holds it up. ... "
" ... Solid as a tank and comes with a great case with very nice cords as well. ... "
" ... And they are built like a tank, light and not bulky. ... "
" ... and most importantly the most beautiful build. ... "
" ... The small, compact case is great for storing and carrying these(I use it every day).The sturdy all-metal construction is flawless as I have dropped them many times. ... "
" ... They are also very durable. ... "
" ... They are also very durable compared to most. ... Overall, if you want a durable set of audiophile-grade headphones that you can expect will last you a while, these are a pretty solid choice. ... "

" ... They're uncomfortable UNLESS you buy a new set of ear pads, the sound is very bass heavy (which isn't necessarily bad depending on what you're looking for), but good luck getting them to stick around long enough to enjoy them to the fullest extent. ... The B&W P7s are cans you'll want for decent bass that are resonably comfortable with deep bass and they WILL last you a while. ... "
" ... Sound quality wise these are great for people who want clear meds and highs but want just a slight bit of a boost in bass, they deliver VERY low clean bass however the bass doesn't muffle or overpower the meds or highs by any means. ... "
" ... Sound signature is perfect for anyone that likes lots of bass without it overpowering the rest of the song, these are definitely aimed towards electronic music Iv'e found they sound great in other genres and even in games. ... "
" ... Listening to Queensrÿche Rage for Order on this setup may be the best i have ever heard it just gives it that extra bass it needs. ... "
" ... They have the ability to rattle your teeth with bass if that's important to you. ... The bass really shines there. ... "
" ... If you like your highs and bass a tad boosted (think "rock" eq on iphone) these are for you. ... "
" ... Although, there is a good bit more bass with these in comparison to the HD600s. ... "
" ... Bass has a nice thump, nice and punchy so definitely not drawn out (Like a pair of beats). ... My biggest grip is the sub bass as it's not as pronounced as I would have liked. ... "
