Coming from a pair of SHE9500 earbuds these sound like, well music to my ears. Audio Quality: Very good for sub-$50 headphones that's for certain. The sound is clear, less muddy mid/lows than any set of budget earbuds I've listened to over the years. Has nice treble without it being 'fatiguing' as people say around here and enough bass to make all but serious bassheads happy. Design: Ugly. I mean they are white (sold out of black everywhere), plain and made out of light plastics. The earpads are comfortable enough but otherwise you aren't...
