if i want the best in sound quality should i buy these. ( i am not a musician, just like to listen to music) i like hip hop and dubstep.

I cannot in truth say that they are the best because I have not compared them to other high-end IEMs. I previously used Shure SE530s with custom molds and since using the 846s (non-custom) I have experienced my music like never before. As others have written, the bass does not swamp the mids and highs which remain crystal clear. If you are not in a position to try other makes at a similar price point, you'll probably never know whether they are the best, but I'd be more than surprised if you were disappointed.

These are the best-sounding earphones I have every heard--and I have tried virtually all of the high end models. But they are expensive. I'm not sure you need to be a musician to enjoy them, but you do need a good ear to be able to hear the best of what they offer: strong but exceptionally controlled bass, solid mids and crisp highs. If the budget will allow, they should please any discerning listener.

YES a thousand times yes. Pop/hip-hop/dance/dubstep all sound amazing cause of the true deep booming bass, not the fake "loud" bass you hear on other stupid headphones like beats. It's like a night club in your ears :) Highly recommend it. Sounds even better when you use apps to listen to your music like Poweramp to boost levels to your liking.

Yes, and actually the sound isn't bad. If you're a real audiophile you won't like it. I'm sure, but for ordinary use they're just fine.

I have found these headphone to sound excellent!! Good for DJ'ing? I give it a big Yes...Compared to Beats (which I owned a pair) Beats have a tendency to snap (the headband that is) after a couple of times of warranty replacement I got rid of them...But I have been a DJ since 1973...yeah a long time...my Favorite are the KOSS PRO-4 AA's which I used then and own a pair now...

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.

Absolutely. I own 2 pairs of these, and use them constantly in the studio when recording and mixing my band's tracks. They have excellent sound definition, and are as good as headphones worth 3 times as much. hope this helps.... you won't go wrong with these!!

If you listen to all this music just for amusement, better buy a Monster Beats. If your listening is professional, you have to avaliate if the basses are important. AKG is a very flat headphone and everything will sound very well, but the Beats headphones are better to work with the basses

Audiophile grade headphones are not for BassHeads... They produce audio that is as close to reference as possible, if you want extra bass, you want cheaper, crappy sets like what are produced by "Beats by Dre", that destroy the sound quality for added bass.

I would say they're great for either music or video. I use them mainly for music myself.

It just depends how much bass you want. These will be very musical by themselves. But if you like rap music or pounding, room shaking bass; you will need a sub.

In my opinion these are great in all areas. The quality of sound is awesome. Personally the bass is just right. The sound is very clear. I believe you would really like them.

I think the sound is good. I don't know much about headphones but , I like these.

If you enjoy a good bass, then no. These are incredibly detailed and natural sounding, but light on the bass. Sennheiser or Beyerdynamic are better in the bass department.

These do not not have a superior sound quality. they are more or less adequate. I live mine, Morgan but i use them for listening to brain entrainment while i sleep.. The convenience is the most important part for me. If ur l looking for sounds over price and convenience i would try something else

I've used them for music basically, but from my perspective they will be great for movies since the sounds are crisp clear. Just don't expect tons of bass since they are designed for real sound (not like Beats). These make audible things you don't hear with cheap headphones!!

These headphones are meant for studio monitoring, not casual use. Not to say they wouldn't work as day to day headphones it is not ideal. They don't look "bad" but they aren't the most appealing set of headphones. My personal opinion is that if you are looking for style go with beats, but if your looking for build and sound quality along with the price factor go with the audio technicas.

the headphones are pretty ok. I like them. But if you want superior sound quality, you probably should buy a good pair seperately

Well, they definitely don't have the BOOMING bass/bottom-end found on other similarly-priced earbuds. But I wouldn't exactly say that they're bad if you're listening to hip-hop. I listen to lots of hip-hop on them and it sounds clean and loud, which works for me.
