I'm enjoying these sooo much. they're the most fun-sounding headphone I've owned!
the good:
- the bass has a really nice slam but it does not overpower the rest of the sound.
- the mids are gorgeous, vocals and guitars sound so pretty!
- the highs could be better, but I really can't complain.
- the soundstage is very, very nice. I feel it's pretty spacious, horizontally.
- I also find them to be pretty detailed.
- the instrument separation is amazing! it's the first time I can distinguish the bassist from the guitarist so accurately.
- they feel incredibly sturdy. I don't think they'll ever break from regular use, and the case that's included makes it even better.
the bad:
- they're kind of uncomfortable. they make my ear hurt after a bit, but it's been getting better. I guess the pads just need to soften a bit.
- they sounded kind of veiled/cavernous at first, but the burn-in has taken care of that.
I really love them, V-Moda really put a great product out. it shows that the company takes pride in what they do. definitely one of my best purchases ever! they're worth every penny.
