I don't think the price is too suspiciously cheap... However, I tend to stay away from headphone sellers that are from Asian countries... more often than not they are selling counterfeits... TBH I wouldn't risk it... buy 'em from somewhere reputable...

Mine are from the white box so I guess that explains it.

I'm using Winamp on my computer with no EQ through an Asus Xonar DX... Maybe you're just right about the boomy bass thing.... I listened to the Turtle Beach HPX and I just thought the bass on those was overpowering and I guess that was what I was expecting. straight up crazy boomy bass... But I...

I only play FLAC or 320kbps through them... I've listened to them for around 40 hours and had them just playing for even longer then that and they're still pretty disappointing. I don't have them EQ'd or anything.... I was expecting a much huger punch in the bass...   Seriously though, these...

I bought these headphones thinking that they would be my go to bass headphones... but my headphones have a really underwhelming low end.. the bass is much weaker than my other headphones... did i get a defective or fake pair or something? Im playing out of a sansa clip. Bought these headphones...

I've searched around and found some threads about it but they haven't really had the answer I've been looking for.\ I was looking at the Nuforce Icon Mobile. It's only $80, but would my headphones be a lot better with that amp? I'm just looking for a portable amp that can be used as a USB...

Looking for any kind of headphones to replace my Denon AH-C551K, I've heard great things about so many headphones so I have no idea where to go. I just love my bass, and these headphones are starting to sound bad after I've been listening to a 5.1 speaker system rather than a 2.0 speaker system...
