+as clear as mid to high end headphones at a quarter the price! +portable +very clear high end and mid range +extreme clarity +textured base -Base is not as strong, but still very detailed -Carrying bag useless -cords too long Solid entry into headphone market.

Fine acoustically neutral headphones. Bare bones wired phones, very comfortable fit. Comes with two wires/different plugs and nice carry/storage case. Very good value! Great sound!

Great headphones for the money! Can listen to for hours.

Great value
