For $ 129 these are very very good. Kind of like a more sophisticated Dr Dre headset....No - they are not SN 225 is, but for the trendy style conscious set, they are great. If you tried these, you would be very surprised....The muddy sound of the Dr Dr es - immediately turns one off. However, these are nearly as deep,m yet a lot clearer. Considering price, style, size, and audio quality - you will not be disappointed.....This is my strong op pinion - Soon, they will come out with a true audiophile high quality headset, -----that will truly blow...
