Title: Bass but at what expense?
Review: Unfortunately, the design team succeeded in providing lots of bass which, in my opinion, is overwhelming. The big, boomy bass is muddied, not at all tight and tends to greatly diminish the mids and distort the highs. The bass is overtly prevalent throughout the frequency range. Soundstage is almost meaningless. Separation of instruments cannot be distinguished. Vocals sound harsh and nasal-like. Perhaps these are decent if you listen to nothing but bass heavy music, but they are not at all balanced and will cause some weary listening after an hour or so. These certainly are not for acoustic, vocal, jazz, or classical listening.I did find them comfortable enough, but the build quality appears to be inferior to other similarly-priced phones. Overall, I do not feel they offer a good buy...too much hype, and not enough substance unless, as I implied, you really need this amount of bass and consider yourself a true basshead.
