I spend my serious listening time with a pair of AKG K702s at the moment (and hopefully hd650s soon enough), but for when my friends are over and I'd like to share music or watch a movie these are great. They will certainly not blow you away, dont expect them to be much better than the price suggests. They are however leaps and bounds beyond the quality of my computer speakers and since that's what they are replacing for a very low price I think they deserve 4/5 stars. Good buy, goodbye.
