Colour Name:White
These headphones are fantastic. When they first arrived I was a bit scepital as to the loudness and the capacity of the headphones to produce a good level of bass as various reviews had praised them on; however, these doubt were set to rest when after a few hours of use they kicked in! The headphone 'getting used to music' process is called "burn in", as you use them the driver loosens up and moves more freely and produce better base and all around sound. By the end of the day I had not a shadow of doubt on the capaibility of these headphones. The bass is out of this world and even with the volume turned up to the max everything is proportion; the bass does not outweigh the high and the mid notes, everything sounds great. Also, they are very stylish. A cool white matte finish which looks great next to the red Monster lead, which brings me on to my next point; the mic on the monster lead is fantastic. Very clear on the other end, my friends are always surprised when I tell them I'm not using the phones mic! All in all a great buy, don't miss out.

After deciding that I wanted a new pair of on-ear headphones, I started to look into the 100's of different models available, before finally settling on these.
They come well packaged, with a separate carry case, which the headphones neatly fold into when you're not using them. You also get two interchangeable cables as well. One is a a plain cable with an auxiliary plug in at each end, the other has the Control/talk piece enabled for Smartphone and MP3 compatiable devices.
The headphones themselves are some what stylish compared to other makes and the colour of this particular model do make them stand out a lot. They are very comfy to wear and after wearing them for 3 hours straight whilst working, I did not have any symptoms of headaches or ear fatigue, which I have suffered when using other people's on-ear headphones.
The sound quality of these headphones is superb. The sound is crisp and clear with a wide range through the bass, mids and trebles. It doesn't sound flat or tinny, which I experienced with the Bowers & Wilkins P5 headphones. For a comparison, I own a set of Bowers & Wilkins Zepplin speakers and listening to this new pair of Headphones sounds like I am listening to my Zepplin speakers, the sound quality is that good. Songs that through some headphones and speakers sound blurry, due to the complex mix of music, on these headphones sound clear. You can hear each instrument perfectly, even in the bass tones. The noise cancellation is very good as well. Even at low volume in noisy environments, you can hear the headphones over background noise.
I am very happy that I chose these headphones, and they are well worth the price tag.
For those pondering due to the price tag, look at it like this: Buying off Amazon, the headphones are £10-15 cheaper then anywhere else, and you are paying at least £100 less then if you were buying the B&W P5's which sound half as good.
Finally a neat trick if you have these headphones: Suppose you're in a situation where you want to listen to your music, but you also need to be able to hear the environment around you, If so, do what do and where the headphones around your neck, put your music device volume to 50-75%+ and (while you lose a bit of sound quality) you have yourself a set of mini speakers!

I wasn't too sure about sbuy these at first as it's the most expensive pair of headphone's I've bought before, but I am so glad I did. The quality is very good, clear and powerful bass, which means I like to play them as load as I can but in public it means everyone else can hear them too so half volume will have to do unless you want funny looks. They also look b e a utiful and I wear them everywhere, I did have a pair of over skullcandy headphones prior to these but they were just too bulky and I did not feel confident to wear them out in public. I feel as these are not only a pair of brilliant headphone but a fashion accessory as well. very impressed. :D
