Sound quality is pretty darn good! The Beats are known for a little heavier bass sound, but some people love that including me. Others might prefer to have the true sound of the music. I think they are high quality with heavier bass than some. Hope that helps.

For me, the bass capability is really very good. But the perception of how the lower frequencies are performing are generally a matter of individual taste. I'd recommend comparing the frequency response specifications on each manufacturer's web site. That will give you an empirical view of performance. But, the short answer...yeah, I like these head phones and plenty of bass, more than enough. Lots of bang for the buck.

Your question is too subjective. For the price, these headphones tend to work well enough for their intended purpose. I enjoy using them very much and are better than some I haved purchased in the past at a higher price. I do recommend these.

If sound quality is what your after, then I'd get the HP50's. They sound astounding. They are also well constructed. My only complaint is that the ear cups are a bit small for circumaural headphones.

I recommend going to the big box store and listening to them first, in my opinion you can get better sound quality and fuller sound for less money.

I would say fairly, the sound is acceptable. To qualify that, I have another set up I use for enjoyment listening, with definable bass and range. This is to me perfect for just hearing the dialoge etc and to follow the TV as I fall asleep. I wouldnt use them for say, exercise. Just my opinion. Still love what I use them for, and still use them every night. Best of luck.

Mine's ok. I don't use them as my primary speakers though and I don't mind. I'd suggest getting some good portable speakers (possibly bluetooth...).

If you're ok with over the ear headphones these should be good, they're compact, have good noise reduction and I can easily wear them all day. If you can afford noise reduction type, that would be better although not as durable if they're dropped.

Absolutely. The sounds is crisp and they are very comfortable. If you will be connecting to a video device the internal surround is incredible. Decent external sound reduction as well.

All the negative reviews are from people roaming around and loosing the signal. If you are I the same room as the TV or stereo the sound is incredible! Even if you leave the room it is fine but obviously depends on your blue tooth connection. What are you looking to use them for? I will answer honestly.

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.

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.

Actually, I've found them quite good out of the Apple system and can probably compete with the Beats i have at home, they sound amazing in my computer and home system as well.. good luck with them.

Hey Joel, I would give these a 9. The sound is really good and accurate, specially when playing battlefield or The Last of Us. You can hear all the sounds and the direction they are coming from and you also get really good battery life. The setup is really easy also. Check out my review you can see how the setup is. Hope I helped.

For music they are fine. A bit gaudy because of the shape and fit. But they sound good. I use them quite a bit in the gym and on bike rides. Mixed reviews for work but believe this is a feature of my laptop and not the headphones. I too use Lync. I have not had any complaints from listeners so they seem to block background noise - not wind, so when walking to your car, people will know. My one complaint is that I have to be in close proximity to my laptop at work. At home, I can walk around a bit, but no more than say 20 feet.

Yes and no. They sound alright without burn-in but after roughly a week or so of use they start to become extraordinary. Although that's also just your ears adjusting to the sound. If you're on the fence about these though, definitely get them. They are, in my experience, far better than just about anything within their (amazon) price-range.

I guess you could say they are worth it, but don't expect them to last very long, mine didn't last a week, and I'm really careful with my earphones. So money wise probably not, but they did sound great for as long as I had them.
