What is the sound quality using headphones or earbuds? Is it Walkman quality? Update: Sorry, I should have specified that I would be using high quality headphones or earbuds. Thanks for the responses so far.

The output is great (my opinion), however that will depend on the quality of the headphones as well. During the time I was using the latest OEM blackberry headphones that went to my blackberry torch 9850. We all know how good of a quality blackberry speakers are. Hope this helps.

Hello Mark, I like to use these working out or doing outdoor work. They have decent bass. I like think chunky bass, and these provided good quality. My only gripe is that headphones ( after a while ) stop working. I have tried Beats by Dre ear buds and they provide better base. The price is key factor in that equation. If you need them for travel, or around the house, either Bose or Beats (Over the Ear) are the best ones on the market. But for outdoor needs, these are the right price.

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.

Sorry, been on the road for awhile so I didn't see this question. These headphones are very rich with bass and not tinny at all! They also have really good coverage on the highs too. You will hear things in your music that you have never heard before with these things (ok, assuming you have been using the typical headphones and not $100+ ones). These are the only headphones I use now (actually for the last 15+ years). I just bought an Ipod nano that came with ear buds. Guess where the first place they ended up was (circular file).

I think the sound quality is super and when wearing them I cannot hear any outside sounds. The buttons for increase sound does not work with my device. I would actually prefer that this was not on them. Hope this helps

Great! I usually adjust the volume about half way and I'm hard of hearing. This is with both headphones and ear buds. Hope this helps you. I spent a lot of time researching thiis selection. Right now I'm listening to my MP3 (Sanso) pluged into the "Aux In" jack. One of many options available. Best wishes Gil

On long rides I play music and hear it just fine. I do not use earbuds and play my music through the speaker. Actually I had to turn it down a few times because the other riders would comment on my music selection. (I tend to listen to hard rock & metal when I exercise.)

I got a chance to talk to monster guys. He told that I can replace the earphones but he is not sure that if I will receive the earphones with the right angle connector. BTW... i am planning to return these as it doesnt feel comfortable at all. Sound wise its excellent but i have considerable pain in my ears after wearing them for 1 hour. I tried all the eartips, but nothing seems to be comfortable. Any suggestions???

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.

Oh yes! The bass, in my opinion, is fantastic. I tried some 130 dollar earbuds once, and I loved the bass. But these are better. And cheaper.

I had the same problem so I ordered a great sounding pair of earbuds called "chops" & they are sold by Skullcandy. They sound as good as Apple earbuds, but they stay in place. You can order them online from Skullcandy & they ship really fast. Also, they have a great warranty...

hi Jerad, I am not a old customer of this product, so give me a few more months to test the Skullcandy earbuds for an honest answer to your concerns of long lasting quality.Larry

Its not really the music but the quality that will make headphones happy. If you have a bad source/quality, then any genre will sound terrible; that being said, I choose EDM.

Good question. My head phones arrived broken, also. Because I am so hard of hearing I was not aware of the faulty head phones. Finally, a friend told me they were not working and it wasn't my hearing to blame. Sorry I can't help with your question, but if you do find an answer, please, pass it on.

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 reply to an earlier post on Jun 10, 2009 7:30 AM PDT Dave in Dearborn, MI says: "They are as tinny sounding as others I have tried and returned. I am getting frustrated wirth the trial and error and all the returns. I even got a pair of the V-MODA Bass Freq Earbuds offered here on Amazon that had great reviews regarding the bass response. I returned them right away....they were as tinny sounding as any others I have tried...and the volume was low as well---even at the highest setting. Could be I just got a bad pair, but I am not going to order another set of those either." REPLY: It sounds as if you didn't have either of these phones properly seated/sealed in your ears. If they are not properly seated, then the sound won't have the bass you're looking for, and it will sound tinny. I have several sets of fantastic in ear phones, and they all need to be properly sealed in your ear to give you the great sound experience that they are capable of.
