I mainly listen to Dire Straits, Eric Clapton. With some other rock bands on the side.

If you like less than ideal bass, by all means go ahead and purchase them. But if you're interested in bass I'd recommend going with something else. Also I would find a portable amp. I found my ipod to not be that great driving the phones. |
