I'm not gonna lie I thought these headphones were junky. Impressive packaging, and quality headphones case - big whoop. As I took the headphones out of the case, I really thought this thing would fall apart in my hands if you weren't careful. ... I'm happy I was wrong: it was the complete opposite. I've used all different types of headphones from Skullcandy to JBL, Sony, and this (personally) tops all of them! The sound quality is what you expect from buying a $300 pair of headphones paying for sound quality, doesn't feel like you're wearing headphones when you put them on, and the levels really show you how the sound designers thought of the customer in their planning. Pleasantly surprised by how comfortable and rich the levels were when listening music. Pairs very quickly with iPhone & easy to use relating to the controls. I highly recommend these for anyone who want a retro, quality experience that lives by the quote "Never judge a book by its cover." 10/10.
