Fairly good...for the price. They rival candidates that cost more than twice as much (they sound better than the ES7 IMO). They offer a big bass that is not everybody's cup of tea (but is exactly what you need for hiphop), worldclass mids (for a closed supraaural) and acceptable treble. Build quality "indestructable", comfort can be an issue.

Apparrently the (NZ)$125 AKG K518 are better than the (NZ)$170 ES7's unless you listen to quite alot of heavy metal?

Quite so. And they isolate a lot better, which is eminent in portabel situations.

Its weird 'cause the guy at the shop thought that they weren't sound isolating... But it says that it is online.
