Well worthwhile upgrade and not too expensive. Emphasized lower end. My only complaint after using these for the gym for over a year now is that the cord length is different from the split to the buds.(one more than twice as long as the other)

First cans and I really like them. No buyers' remorse. Tad bit veiled, but a very non-fatiguing headphone. I use it for BR's and DVD's at night and the speech performance is very acceptable. Emphasized lower end, but not "too" muddy. I also use them for music....listen to' everything' but heavy metal and country and they perform well. If you want a vewry open sound and do not care for an extra thump down low you might look elsewhere. Comfortable as well on my head.(have used for up to 4 hrs so far)
