I actually disagree. Been listening to a pair of these for a few weeks now, for the price, they are actually very enjoyable. Sure, they do have a V shaped sound signature, very detailed (clear top end) and good low end with a slightly recessed mid end, but they do make listening quite enjoyable. The mids being a little recessed, tends to open up the soundstage a little as I found the singers or solo instruments are sitting a little further away from me. The details served up is quite astonishing for such a cheap pair of headphones, I'm hearing things that I never knew existed in well recorded music. I'm also picking up lots of details pertaining an instrument being played, strummed, plucked etc. As for the bottom end, it may not be as tight, and not as detailed, but it doesn't bleed into the mids too much, thus, making it a very clean headphones as compared to many of its competitors in this price class. In fact, I think these outclasses any of the Beats and Bose earphones easily.
I would say that these are definitely worth their asking price, and probably can compete with headphones twice to three times its cost. Anyway, just my 2 cents.
ps - I'm curious that some postings here are stating that these headphones are very dark sounding, that doesn't sound right at all! Mine has a very airy treble and very detailed. The dark sounding pairs, perhaps you got a fake? Or the BA driver is defective (and only going on the Dynamic driver - hence the darker signature)?
