I see people say these sound good but can we get more information on how good they sound. How do they compare to other known headphones $300 and under

Sound quality is fantastic , They have some DSP in them to enhance the sound , excellent battery life . i use this head phones and ATH M50 most of the time .

The Matrix follows a sound signature with enhanced bass, prominent mids, and smooth treble. We think it's competitive with many similarly-priced wired headphones despite being wireless. -MEElectronics Customer Service

Compare the specs to the Beat's! You will be surprised. If you are hung up on the Beat's name? Well, then you're hung up! If you prefer to pay for lots of advertising, then you are hung up on paying for advertising! It's your money, if you prefer to pay for advertising for an inferior product, I suggest you purchase Beat's! Do yourself a favor and listen to them both. If that's not possible you will never be dissatisfied with MEE products which pass the advertising savings onto to the consumer.

They sound terrific. I love the sound of these better than my wired V-Moda headphones but there is a known issue with phone calls constantly disconnecting and re-connecting. The manufacturer is aware of it and recommended the earlier version if I wanted to have functional bluetooth phone calls but the earlier model has more bass. I enjoy the sound so much that when a call comes in, I prefer to plug in a cable if the call is going to last more than 2 to 3 minutes which is when the bluetooth connection starts to drop.

Theses headphones are very good but now i have found that the monster n-tune and N-pulses are THE best headphones i own.The n-tunes maybe the best because of sound and size.my advice is if you have the money buy one of the monsters,if the akg's are cheaper then the akg 67's are really nice.but my advice would be to buy one of the monsters because they sound great with ALL kinds of music. Theyy should not be that much more than the akg's,let me know how everything turns out please, I'm very interested to hear from you and your opinion on your pick.

In my opinion, it's GOOD, but the HD quality cannot compare to noise cancelling headphones which would be in the Excellent or Superb categories. Huge improvement to the $20 or less headphones though.

It's almost like asking "are these the best shoes you can buy"? The answer depends on you and your intended purpose. Most headphones at this price point (and higher) are going to sound pretty good.

Best is admittedly very subjective. These are very, very good headphones. They're the best I have heard in many years. I really like the balance and nuance of the sound and frequently hear new bits in music I've listened to for years. Obviously, the price means these are an investment and there are other good headphones; point is the differences at the high end are subtle. My best testimonial, I guess, is that I would buy another pair of 846's. Hope that helps.

Absolutely. These headphones are gret quality, especially for the price. I paid $120 each, and they were on sale on Black Friday for $60....even though I paid twice as much, I still think I got a good deal. Enjoy!

For open headphones, these are pretty bass heavy.I would say that they have more bass than the headphones I've listened to personally. (Grado Sr60/80/325i, AKG K271,Q701)Personally, I would consider them to have good bass response and that seems to be the shared opinion of other owners on Head-Fi.

While these headphones are great for the money they are not in that class. If you are willing to spend the money for those others do so. If you want headphones that are good for the money these will do the job, not great bass but good. They lack the highs a bit though. I hope this helps.

Absolutely. The frequency response, even at low levels, is pretty amazing for this price level. I can't justify paying more for any headphone unless you're an extremely discriminating audiophile using high end equipment. They're just great little headphones.

I have found these to be tinny. So what you are hearing may be normal. I do not find them to simulate live music. Their greatest quality for me is that they have little to no wire noise when moving, compared to all of my other headphones ranging from Sony to Sennheiser and Bose (which are highly overrated as well).

i just got mine and the sound is on par with my bluebirdx , as a matter of fact im returning those and get me 140 bucks back , these are lighter and i got 7 hours continuous play and a few phone calls with them non stop , i will review them as soon as i get a few charges under my belt and really get them broke in , the bass is a bit strong so i used my eq on my phone to get more treble and they are louder than the bluebird x headset

They are very good. For the money they are great. They do have lots of bass with clear highs. I am sure that some audiophiles will have some complaints (don't know what they would say) but no reasonable person could say that they aren't great for the money.

I have to disagree entirely with this post. I just got these headphones for Xmas, and while sound quality is great with cancellation on and does stop outside noises well, the sound leakage is quite apparent. I wanted them as something to use at the office but I'm not sure I can now. While I don't know how much of an issue it would be on the plane, I'm pretty sure I would be able to hear whatever is playing for someone using them quite easily. I'm torn about returning them now. They sound great and the price is awesome, but the leakage is definitely an issue to think about. If you cannot deal with leakage I would not get these. I have to disagree entirely with this post.

its not bad or noticeable. They are great but have weak Bass compared to what i am used to. I enjoy heavy deep bass. but then again its not for everyone. Besides that, the earphone were great with low chord noise.

Yes, as a longtime audiophile I have no problem recommending these headphones. The dynamic response of these headphones seem quite good, especially considering their price. Understand however that the bass response of many expensive high-end headphones leave something to be desired, but these headphones have discrete bass amplification and are intended for listeners who appreciate a better bass response along with a good dynamic range. I originally bought these for gaming and because they fold up and fit nicely into my backpack, but quickly realized their sound quality also made them a good choice for listening to music. Hope this helps.

I wish I could be of more help. I bought these headphones for my nephew for a Christmas present, so I won`nt know until he uses them. I read those reviews too and was somewhat dubious but we`ll find out after the holiday. I wish I could have been more help.

The bass quality for these, and I am not sure if it is just a Sennheiser thing, but are better than most other headphone brands that I've used. I probably spent hundreds of dollars on headphones for working out/running and these sound better, to name a few, than the Apple earbuds and the few different Sony headphones that I've bought. The bass is very good for active style headphones in this price range.
