Perhaps for Rock, but not for Jazz or Vocals. They are high quality earphones, but tuned more for Bass. They come with three different length "tubes" that tune the Bass from solid to overwhelming. Setup with the least Bass they still overwhelm the rest of the music. If you like "Beats" headphones, you will like these. I prefer to hear all the sounds and frequencies that were recorded.

Good overall quality no mater what you are listening to. If using them with an iPhone or ipad an good in-line amp really helps.

They would be perfect for that, they produce a warm, live sound that is great for vocals, whether spoken or sung. The long cord length makes fitting them into your setup far less of a hassle than a majority of headphones. They are also very comfortable for long periods of time, I forget I'm wearing them half of the time.

The bass is quite decent and full sounding considering that they are suppose to be for accurate studio monitoring. You can hear the lows, mids, and high all quite nicely. If you want something a bit more on the bassy side you should check out Audio Techinca's Bass Solid line of headphones, name is pretty self explanatory.

I mainly use them for DJIng. But I also use it with my macbook and imac and the sound quality is awesome. Cant go wrong.

They sound great. Good rendering across the range. There is a little bit of cable thumping.IMO the best part is the quality of the sound with the excellent fit in the ear. Great for workout, although noise isolation might not be safe for certain sports activities.

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.

Yeah I use them with my pc every day, I also use them for playing my guitar. For the price they are pretty good.

I think they would be good for them especially if you're making rock music for them,if your making everything running the gambit I'd recommend the akg 550.they can carry very good bass and highs and lows,they just require a power source that can push the headphones to really hear them well.but the 450s are THE best mini headphones I've ever put on my head's,I also recommend the monster n'pulses and n'tunes.they are fabulous headphones that no one ever talks about,they are better than beats if you ask me.I also recommend the skullcandy mix master mike's,very good headphones for listening to all types of music.hope I helped and please let me know how you feel about the headphones,I like hearing others opinions on headphones.

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.

They have really decent musical detail, but I would say the bass is a little lacking. Compensation with EQ helps. I haven't heard the CX 300-II earbuds, but certainly the CX-300 line has a near legendary reputation. I have no regrets getting these for the price.

For what they are, I'd say they do pretty well. I listen to a lot of metal with double bass and tuned down guitars. These buds do OK. Like any small speaker though, if you turn em up too much they will distort. If I am out running though, the noise blocking from these and I don't have to turn em up too loud to get a good sound from them.

Yes, they are good for any type of use. I have been using them for movies and music and the sound is phenomenal

They are loud and very clear. Even though they are DJ Style headphones, I think they would be average DJ headphones. I do play guitar and have them plugged in to my amp and they sound loud and amazing. For the price, no other headphones would be better.

They're pretty good! I bought mine a couple of months ago and they sound great. the 7.1 surround sound is a little overkill but they make for a fantastic 5.1 surround sound headset, just make sure your computer has enough audio jacks at the back for all the wires!

I found these extremely comfortable for spoken word and mostly vocal songs. There is some bass but it is not very forward at all. I have been using these the last 4 years, so my recommendation would be to get these. Hope this helps!

I listen to music through them all of the time and they sound great. I imagine they would be great for monitors if you had the room for them. They are pretty big.

My husband hasn't really used them much for music.... He is sort of a car nut and has been watching videos and listening to them while still in the room with me (watching girly shows like Bachelor).He says they are bad a**. That is all I can tell you! I don't think you can go wrong with them though. Check Consumer Reports testing of them against some of the bigger names!
