This cans are the 414 of closed headphones, and for live monitoring use. Little, well constructed, supra-aural, comfortable and durable. Punchy sound, almost linear with a little bump in the mid-bass. Mids are good but a little "honky". Good highs but a little grainy. Bass good, non-resonant and quick, but it lack a bit in extension. Sound is exciting but it's not very refined. Very portable and a must for a use like "battle-headphone", for good monitoring in a live concert, for example. Very simple but durable construction.

Nice except for the high frequencies and detail - they just are not strong to my ear. Bass seems lightly exaggerated. Mids are okay. Treble lacking. Detail and clarity not that good. Equalized they are okay.

They are small and sturdy, though.

They can beat up the weaklings like the Sony EX51s and the street style. I like them better than the PX100s but they are also more expensive.
