I don't get what all the drama is about.
I may not be a headphone freak that compares all the products ever but I listen to wide variety of genres including Ambient Trance & Metal which require driving yet reasonable Bass. I have no problems with these headphones coming from £50 sony / sennheiser models. Its also important to note that like a new pair of shoes they will "loosen" a little, meaning the highs will soften a bit probably after 12 hours of use!
We all have different ears and I personally enjoy a balanced neutral sound. My personal opinion is that these are not high heavy, just neutral. They do have crisp highs, they also have warm bass and round mids. I will also add, that anyone considering a pair of headphones of this price range should have access to a basic EQ anyway. My Opinion.
I'm using mine with a new FiiO E10K Olympus into a Dekstop PC and I am using the Bass switch ON and OFF about equally with different albums. I have yet to feel that I need to EQ.

BostonStumpI agree, i love these headphones. They are quiet neutral with good mids. I do love vocal trance and genre alike and find these are perfect. I guess only issue is that they are hard to drive without a amp of some sort and from what i hear they really do come alive with a dac / amp solution. That's next on my list. They're a bargain for the price imo

Muzzi871 month on and my view hasn't changed. I did try the kitchen paper mod to see if i preferred less highs, it was slightly different and i left the paper in (behind the pads) for a week or so. decided to take them out today.
The headphones do weaken in the highs a little over time, and i still feel they are good neutral headphones.
I would suggest downloading MusicBee as an alternative to iTunes for your laptop/desktop music sessions, it features an EQ, however i still haven't needed it, it would be more useful for a badly produced album.
Also would suggest the FiiO E10K if you can get it reduced on amazon like I did. Volume is only a plus as they are loud enough in my PC jack anyway. In the FiiO i only drive it to 2-3/8, its the crystal clear/rounded audio that makes a DAC worth it IMO.

BostonStumpOnly issue with the paper mod is that they make the sound more muffled (apparently) There's a small sticker underneath the earpads apparently which you can easily remove and it helps with bass. I'll try it when i swap the earpads with the angled memory foam ones I've ordered. I do love em for gaming, you get a real sense of direction of footsteps / surroundings :)

Muzzi87I bought the angled pads. IMO, try them with pads and sticker left on. The pads did add a bit of bass so they're perfect right now for me.
