The sound signature has deep and powerful bass, giving you a lot of thump from bass drum hits and other low frequency sound sources. Highs also have good detail and airiness to them. Also notable are the mids which are a bit forward so vocals can still be easily appreciated despite the powerful bass and the crisp highs.

They're enjoyable to use for a wide variety of music, but bass heavy tracks are what they will work with best.

With every purchase of these headphones, you get a stylish carrying pouch, a number of different ear-tips, ear hooks and ear wings as well as a cable clip to minimize cable movement.
