These were by far the worst pair of headphones I have ever purchased. When I first put them on I immediately noticed an issue with fit. The did not completely fit around my ear, and when I did squish my ear into them there was a gap just below the ear lobe. The audio quality was absolutely horrid. There was an ambient, yet rather obvious, buzzing in the left ear cup. The audio quality was very muddy with very weak highs and lows. The product claims to have a "THUMPP" bass equalizer built into the headphones, however the bass was weaker than my laptop's built in speakers, even with a custom adjusted equalizer on my PC set for maximum bass output while retaining clarity. Clarity! Now there's another issue, the sound was very muddy and muffled. I couldn't hear the difference between the bass guitar and the lead guitar in the song "Your Going Down" by Sick Puppies, and the sound stage in Billy Joel's "Piano Man" was almost none existent. I can't say much about the microphone as I really have little use for it to begin with.

nice set of headphones. comfortable with great sound quality. Outside noise can easily be heard so you would probably need to upgrade if that is a problem for you.
