For this price you have to be crazy to purchase any other headphone. To this day when I see people walking around the gym with their BEATS on trying to demo them for people while they leak horribly I laugh. If only they knew about these headphones that are half the price and twice as good. I prefer these over some even more expensive cans. Bottom line is if you are looking for a good pair of head phones buy these and be blown away when you put them to the test.

These headphones are phenomenal, the highs, mids, and lows are all fantastic! The sound is absolutely amazing. These are probably the best sounding, and most durable headphones I've ever owned! Believe me I've had AKG, Beats By Dre (WAY OVERPRICED DO NOT BUY), Sync By 50 Cent (Again way overpriced), and Soul By Ludacris (Better then then Beats, and Sync, but you can get way better for the money.) Let me tell you this, I have not heard a better sounding headphone that is a closed back design. This is the best you'll get in terms of sound quality with a closed back. The only headphones I own that sound better are the Sennhiser HD650. Which are 5 times the price of these. Overall, BUY THESE!!

Great headphones, easily out-perform headphones twice their price. Even though they are 'studio monitors', they have a great overall range; deep bass, piercing highs, mids aren't lacking at all. Comfortable to wear for hours, look good. If you plan on buying them just to use with an ipod or anything portable, a pocket amp will be required as they are power hungry.

Customer Testimonial

SONIC has the best prices, and fast shipping. This was my second purchase. This time I got new Front & Rear speakers for my truck. I installed them the day they arrived and they sound great. No need to ever go anywhere else looking for equiptment.
