You need to listen on your player and turn the equalizer, then just buy no
9 October 2010 
Let me remind you that almost all headphones are equipped with broadband diaphragm drivers, so improving the characteristics of one frequency band leads to a decrease in the characteristics of the opposite band, this is pure physics. According to the manufacturer, this model is aimed at "street" and other bass-heavy music styles, and it handles them wonderfully, but I also enjoy listening to jazz and soul with them. With a resistance of 40 Ohms, a 1.2-meter cable, and weight indicating a portable class of equipment, it would be better to buy something with a long cable, resistance from 100 Ohms, and heavier for home use. Again, with a proper equalizer, these headphones can be considered versatile, but if you prefer them exclusively for classical, metal, and jazz, then decide for yourself. And before buying, "listen, listen, and listen again," otherwise it might be disappointing if stores don't always agree to take back the product.
Soft, comfortable, moderately light, bassy, I use it in conjunction with the Transcend MP850, the power is quite enough. I listen to hip-hop, techno, funk, jazz, drum, dubstep, rock and much more, and cope with all styles. A good option for the price. The cord is quite strong, some people are afraid that it is flat, this is more of a stereotype. The L-shaped plug is more convenient for portable equipment. Made in Thailand.
The high frequency band is reduced and can be easily adjusted with an equalizer.

Worth taking
Bass Freaky)) eeeeeee!!! Comfortable ear pads do not put pressure on your ears at all! They fit perfectly on the head! Bass and clean, but you can still hear both the mids and highs! I really liked my money's worth
There is no 6 mm adapter. and L-shaped socket + thin and short cord.

Best price/quality ratio
24 January 2012 
I’ve been listening to music on headphones for the last 14 years, for the money I haven’t heard better sound, there are BOSE, AKG, Ultrasone headphones that have something to compare with. So these Sonya sound like ears that cost 300 euros, why pay more?
- durable, have been using for 3 years
- quite large,
- the included case is soft,
- short cord.
