Not what you're expecting... but in a good way!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.They're *just* great sounding headphones. I read reviews and got myself hyped and nothing too complain about, at all, but they're slightly over hyped. Not over rated though, just amazing sounding headphones.
