Please describe the sound quality from an audiophile's perspective.

From a listener perspective, I give sound quality 8/10. More impressed w/ the fit and comfort.

I would say the SQ is about 6/10. Higher than I expected for its price range.

It is average quality....I am not a music aficionado but the bass is not deep and outside of the volume controls, there are no extra features to boost the sound from what I can tell, but the midrange tones are OK for most audio content. I listen to mostly streaming content not necessarily just music, so for my purposes they work pretty great.

I would say so. The surround sound is definitely not as good as a headphone or a system but it's decent. What you hear also depends on the quality of your music and I say I am enjoying mine so far.

I bought the $70 in-ear headphones too and I really don't understand what it is people don't like. Whether they are over-priced is debatable but the quality is outstanding. I suspect that many people might be too used to listening to inferior audio quality products to appreciate the clarity and separation these earphones offer, particularly on the bass end where many listeners confuse "thumping" for bass notes. Either that or they can't get the earphones to fit properly in their ears. In my opinion, these headphones are better than the monitor quality over-the-ear headphones I had been using for many, many years.

I'm no audiophile, but I've only heard a distinct drop in quality on my phone. At my computer, streaming music through Google Play, though, it's identical to my ears.

If you want higher/highest fidelity, LINE OUT is IT! I wouldn't use headphone out. Any audio nut should do that.

Mine sounds awesome. I couldn't be more please for the price to quality ratio. I've had a few of my fellow players comment on it's good sound. I can't, of course, say what yours might sound like but I'm pleased with mine and have had it for quite a while now ... good luck

Yes, as a longtime audiophile I have no problem recommending these headphones. The dynamic response of these headphones seem quite good, especially considering their price. Understand however that the bass response of many expensive high-end headphones leave something to be desired, but these headphones have discrete bass amplification and are intended for listeners who appreciate a better bass response along with a good dynamic range. I originally bought these for gaming and because they fold up and fit nicely into my backpack, but quickly realized their sound quality also made them a good choice for listening to music. Hope this helps. Yes, as a longtime audiophile I have no problem recommending these headphones. The dynamic response of these headphones seem quite good, especially considering their price.

Take into account that BT will compress the signal, so quality is somehow degraded. But I do really doubt that most of people can perceive this kind of degradation. I think it is imperceibable, because if your loudspeakers or headphones are not HiFi then it doesn´t matter how much quality your input signal is. No doubt that SPDIF or Coax signal is clearer than analog. But I have a Belkin V82 standard connected to a Technics amp with a couple of JBL Arena speakers and the sound quality, as far as my ears can perceive, is the same as compared to a CD.

Well, to be perfectly honest, I am a serious audiophile, but I do like bass extension (I have Genesis subwoofer towers in my home system). While there is a "bloated" bass quality to the Beat Pros I really like the exaggeration in the Beats for casual listening whilst walking around or in the gym. However, for a more "sonically neutral" perspective, the 650's would definitely get the nod. So I would say it depends on the application and listening preferences.

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!

These headphones sound more like a fine tuned night club. The bass is present, lush, tight, and gorgeous. An amp will only help, but isn't necessary. If there's no bass in the song, you won't hear any. If you want that "bass in your face" feeling, I'd recommend the XB500, which is far cheaper. It will make any song sound bassy, and sounds more like 2 15" juggernaut subwoofers rattling in your car. Not nearly as clean. Personally, I enjoy the XB1000's, but pick whatever one sounds like you'd be into.

I think the sound quality is good. It's not the most high end system but certainly has good volume and decent quality. I've seen other reviews stating that the sound was not good, but that has not been our experience with this system. I think you will be happy with it.

I have no complaint about the quality of the sound when listening to music, but I am admittedly not an audiophile.

The best audio quality would be with a separate headphone amp. I assume this is what you are after if you have the MF DAC

They are really good. The bass isn't naturally amplified, if you mess with the EQ, it responds to that really well. Not too rattly or anything. (from my son who got the headphones for a gift and knows way more about this stuff than I do.)

I actually experienced something totally different. The bass on my pair of v modas is not so good but the high and mids are pretty good. But maybe that's just my comparison to other headphones I've had before.
