7 for sound, more comfortable than the in ear for several hours of use at a time.

If you were in a quiet room the in ears would be better. However working in a noisy enviroment, the noise canceling of the ear muffs make these way better. I used a $290 pair of sure in ear headphones before these and they are just more comfortable for long periods of time. 1-10 on sound quality overall i'd give them a 7.....but a 7 that you can hear better and use longer. Hope that helps.

They are really good. They are not too over powering with bass. I really like it. Even when it's on really loud it. It's not to bad. It doesn't hurt my ears like other headphones.

The ATHM50RD are very accurate, I use them with a NAD 375BEE, they sound like Paradigm monitor 9 speakers. If you have a good source and an ear for sound you can't go wrong at this price point. However if your plugging them into a mp3 player and like heavy bass music then don't buy them. Not that they don't have very good bass, they just don't try to replicate a sub woofer by adding distortion and making your music muddy which is great if all you listen to is very heavy bass driven music.

The short answer, incredibly awesome. I love watching action and sci/fi movies, and I have a 6 speaker Klipsch system to so do with. However, since I work alot of mid shifts for my job, I can't be blasting my system watching Edge of Tomorrow cuz I have neighbors. These headphones headphones come so close to a $3,000 speaker system, that most users wouldn't be able to tell the difference. The biggest part for me, however, is the bass isn't muddled or overpowering like the Beats headphones. Don't get me wrong, the bass has presence and force, but your movies will sound EXACTLY how the director wanted it to sound in the theater. The short answer, incredibly awesome.

Hello. I listen to my headphones in amplifier of Technics and sound great. Sound card, which you want to buy seems to be very nice. There are also built-in amplifier for headphones and very high quality. I see no reason these headphones do not sound good, not to say super good. Good choice in my opinion!

Kevin. I use this for working out and I honestly can't think of better headphones. Now I am a fit guy but sweat like a beast. I play soccer with them on and they never ever come off. Sounds quality is a solid 8-9 out of 10. Comfort is 9. But the fact that they never fall out specially for guys that sweat makes these a must buy By the way I have used Bose and beats. Sound is highly comparable to Bose and same as beat

They have very good treble and mid-range, bass is not so strong but fairly enough, depends on how you fit them in your system, they should be a good match.

They're not noise cancelling, and they're not Dre Beats, but skullcandy is my #2 when it comes to sound quality. These are no different in quality. For the price range, they definitely take #1.

They sound great with no distortion. Has good mids (7/10), decent trebles (8/10) and heavy bass (10/10) although it might appear a bit too bassy for some but that's how I like my workout music. Overall I would rate sound quality 8/10.

Found them to be tinny and overly bright,not good for music but Ok for the price.Build quality and fit very good.I usually use in-ear Etymotic Research ER6($250) or on ear Grado P500($500) and use a tube headphone amp,so I'm used to some of the finest headphones made.Have also owned a pair of Stax SR Signatures($13000,not a misprint).You might check the Fischer Silver Bullet V.2 in ear ones sold by Mapleshade(shop.mapleshadestore.com).Have not heard them,but if Pierre sells them they have to be good for $65.L Hernandez-The Stereo Shop

I bought these headphones for the sound quality. I had the QC15's for a week, and they did not compare to these headphones. The built-in amplifiers are what set these headphones apart. They bump when you listen to beats, and they're crisp and clear when listening to lighter genre

Get the Audio Technica Ath-es700. For portable use and they sound 20times better and for less money.

As long as the device has an eq setting, i would say just turn up the treble. But if your gonna use them everyday for hours, spend some money and get really good headphones.

I have had the DR DREI Beats when they first came out and they fell apart and I ddint like em. and then got the Bose ie1 and with the foam tips the bass and all is very good. they sound much beter than the DR drei beats and the Boss IE1 I dont know how they compare to the Boss IE 2 but. they are thgew best sounding pair Iv had so far. but I notice a big difrence with the foam tips, and I plan to up grade the cable hope that will give them even beter bass . I hope this was of some help. I do recamend these they live up to there claim just keep the tips in mind.

I think these are not heavy on the bass, but rather well balanced in their tone. They do not sound cheap or "tinny" at all though. The sound is quality is... rich I'd say. I use the stock player/ equalizer o my Note 2 though, so with Power Amp or similar you may be able to pump it up if you want more.I listen to rock, blues, folk, classical, reggae... not exactly bass heavy music, lol. I would not be able to sleep with these in for long personally. I find the sound quality an 8.5 to 9, but the comfort level about a 7 to 7.5. I suspect part of that is my ear canal "design" and not the headphones. I love em! I think these are not heavy on the bass, but rather well balanced in their tone.

Well for the price the KRK's are a solid choice if you're on a budget. But there is definitely better. These give a pretty warm low end tone and isn't so flat. AKG's I know work really well but don't have first hand experience. Pretty confident those are going to be my next headphone purchase once these wear out. (And they're getting there)

These are all-rounded headphones with a good balance in everything. I don't think Audio Technica can be compared to Monster since the latter focuses on only the poundy bass and aesthetics while the former pursues better sound quality and ergonomics. ATH m50x in my opinion, would be better than the Monster.
