These cans are not neutral, at all. But are actually very warm and fun to listen to all kinds of music. More bass(very clean, but definitely there). Although they have a v-shaped sound signature, the mids are fully present, and the highs crisp. The bass is better than my DT-770s, IMO, anyway. I also have the R70x's, and those also sound incredible, but have a totally neutral, clean sound. While they make great reference cans, while these just sound great, and will make any music/movies sound great! Although they have almost non existent clamping force, and they tend to slide down my head until the top of my ear keeps them in place, with no discomfort, even after a full 8 hours without taking them off. I have fallen asleep, and woke up to them still on my head. But those with smaller heads/ears might want to make sure they will stay put, and not slide off. As the "3-d wings" are the only thing that is supposed to keep them in place, but there is no way to tighten the headphones, at all. I would definitely recommend them, especially for the price. The cable is great, just wish it was detachable..

An excellent product for an exceptional price. These headphone are comfortable for hours on end. The cable is not removable, but its the kind of cable that would never be expected to break or wear out. The adapter for the jack screws in and the length of the cable is perfect for any jam session. Truly a blessed pair of headphones.
