I use SJ5's with a 5g, and they are easily driven by every portable device I own, especially the 5g. They are my goto muffs for casual listening; the sound is great for the price point. The highs aren't to shrill and they have for me great bass, not too boomy as to destroy Jazz and the lows are good enough to make hip hop kick. Performs very well with vocals and sax, both having amazing clarity and detail. Definitely a better phone the KSC 75 and Porta Pro and I love those (better overall details). They are pretty good at Isolating ambient sounds, I haven't worn them on the street but they do isolate me from the sounds like the TV. I’m now looking at buying either a ATH ad700 or a700 just to see if the ATH sound signature gets better while moving up the cost ladder. Even with the slight slight inflated price on Audio cubes these headphones are a bargain.
Keep in mind while some have golden ears my ears are brass.
