You simply can't compromise that deep bass sound, can you? Place these mighty cans over your head and get ready. A massive 40mm neodymium driver fills your head with the kind of rich heavy bass that wouldn't be out of place in the best clubs of Ibiza.

They're also a joy to wear out and about with king-size, super thick, pressure-relieving ear pads and a seamless flat, wide headband with hairline aluminium finish. Incredible comfort.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Bass lovers Dream 9 Feb 2010

My Sony's arrived at midday and I must say Wow, I haven't taken them off since.
I'm listening to them as I write this review in fact ^^.

They are amazingly comfortable especially around the ears, the pads really are that soft and the brushed aluminium and the connections to the speakers form the wires make them look beautiful, and with these your going to get A Lot of looks as they physically are Huge.
Saying that they are still relatively easy to wear, not to heavy and they don't clamp your head like some previous headphones I have purchased.

The only problem I have with them is, in the space that is covered by the headband on the outside of the actual speakers, there is a vent. If you are playing the music too loud they just play the sound out to everybody, but not like the tinny annoying sound you get from ear buds, the sound from the outside is surprisingly decent too ^^ but that isn't what you will be wanting to buy these for.

The actual sound quality is superb and even with the title of "extra bass" the high reaches only suffer slightly.
With this product you will be getting a lot for what you pay.

They look the nuts"! they are the best looking headphone ever.
They fit very well and are very, very comfortable. So comfortable that i was able to fall asleep listening to them. They didn't press too hard nor too loose.
You HAVE TO set the graphic equalizers to off or flat, as the sound quality is excellent and only the pure sound will do. With pure bass and clear sounding mid and treble they sound awesome.
On my iTouch, when put on to MAX volume, they do sound like mini desktop speakers, and with the 50mm drivers, quite good one at that. Which brings me to the only one bug, no problem with these headphones. Even with the iTouch at half volume and headphones securely fitted to my head, the guy next to me can and will hear every beat, and pick out every word. Weird for a close back to LEAK SO MUCH SOUND. But i think either the 50mm driver is just to big for the construction, or the soft leather pads aren't tough enough to keep the sound in.
So not the best for walking and traveling, so strange why it come with a short cable. But for home use or PC gaming it the best sound i've heard ever.
Buy them if you want the best for less then a ton, but be warned the sound leaks like an open tap.

5.0 out of 5 stars wow. 23 Feb 2010
I got these not long after my previous skullcandy skullcrushers broke.

These things are amazing. the sound qaulity outsrips anything i have previously owned (my friend with 180 quid headphones wants these instead). The Bass is insane (and its not just that annoying vibrating sound that you get off the skullcrushers)

They are amazingly comfortable, and fit like a dream on anyone with any size head. These things are also well made. I tend to break things very easily, but these have obtained no damage whatsoever, (that may be because I love them so much however).

The only issue I have are that at loud volumes people around you can hear what you are listening to quite easily, but to be honest you don't need to go above about a third of the sound level on these things.

Also, these things are huge. That is not a problem for me, but anyone who wants to travel around a lot with them may find it annoying.

The headphones come with a handy faux leather bag, and the wires on these things are ingenious. Why hasn't anyone else thought about having flatter wires rather than just normal ones? They have never tangled in all my time of having them (bout 3 months now).

In other words, if you are o.k on splashing out 70 quid on a pair of headphones, GET THESE!
