Summary: The bass is beautiful; you can feel/hear the extra bass as intended, but the clarity of the rest of the music leaves a lot to be desired.

Muddled Sound

Summary: Pros: Comfortable, stylish, thumping bass Cons: Leaks sound, muddled mids and highs, I found the bass too loud for my tastes. Next time i'll get a non-bass headphone.
