These headphones surprised me especially considering I had always been disappointed by this brand. Very pure and authentic sound. The response is very accurate (I can hear things I couldn't before) and not aggressive. The mid and high frequency ranges are perfect. The low frequency range sounds very round, deep and accurate. It is very pleasant but a bit too loud. The stereo imaging is bit too narrow. Both last points are the reason I give them 7/10 and why I recommend them for modern pop music rather than jazz or classical music (although considering its value for money, it's also a good choice for these music styles). These headphones allowed me to hear (for the first time ever) the difference between a compressed audio format and a "lossless" format. In short, these headphones don't lie: they sound good with good recordings and bad with bad recordings! MP3 fans should watch out for them!
