These have been a real dream to listen to. They have a really good range of sound not artificial sounding at all. They have have as a matter fact excellent tremble. They don't pull the mids to upfront they throw them a little bit in the background for a more natural approach. Best way to explain this would be if you were in a concert you wouldn't be on stage in front of the singer or hearing primarily only their voice and having their instruments in the background. This is more like you're sitting in the concert hall seven seats back able to hear the instruments the ambience of the hall and all the enjoyment of the full vocal execution of any song were vocality is the main point. Sometimes in my experience with headphones they push the mids up in an unnatural kind of way to the point that you do kind of lose the acoustic qualities of their voices be it male or female vocalist. With these there's a much more balanced approach that benefits the whole spectrum of sound by not being to overbearing in anyone department. So what it means is you have a very strong base but not a natural sounding yet doesn't lack when is required to be needed. The highs are there and they're executed in my opinion properly. The lows are equally as great not pushed out in a way that seems unnatural and places that are required of them but executed in a very subtle and natural kind of way. It's a pretty smooth sounding headphone excellent with any kind of jazz an orchestra and rock and pretty much any genre you throw at it. Unless if your bass head and your idea of a good bass is thump thump thump with tons of distortion well then these won't be for you because they don't distort. They are very much something amazing to listen to from a long day of work to get home send the couch kick back and hear some your favorite tunes on. Don't get me wrong the good pair speakers are good even great but when you get home early in the morning and you don't feel like cranking volume up the disturb anybody you will hear things in these that come through better than some speakers simply for the point that they are directly to your ears less air to travel the sound to your ears. Since hearing these headphones pretty much I have heard such subtleties of music like the vibrations of piano strings even after the notice been played and even when the pianist is stepping on the piano feet during the song in many tracks actually I've never heard that before and I've heard the songs for years. Violinists and saxophonists and all jazz musicians be it vocal or instrumental are really something to behold on these not to mention of course rock with electric guitar electric keys, they all come through with precision clarity and naturally to basically make these headphones the very best I've ever heard. Their build quality is excellent with only one piece of plastic on the whole thing but contained under in the air cushion they are built to last you a lifetime if treated right and not abused like anything else. Are there better ones out there I'm sure there may be yet being the best or even being good or bad is completely subjective to the person explaining the experience to anybody else. My experience though these are my best I've ever heard definitely five stars I would recommend anybody to give them at least a fair shot even if you don't buy them sample them. Thanks for your time.
