The sound quality it good for the price. But cracking open an HP by removing the bottom is a delicate task if you dont have the right tools (which I do) and dont want to leave any markings on the outside of the machine. MIDS : slightly recessed (relative to the elevated and detailed highs and lows), far ?thicker? than the DT770 with more detail - so more present (towards the MT5), just a dip down from flat, nothing drastic but can push vocals and acoustic instruments slightly back from what might be familiar. If anyone tries to invade my property and steal my paracetamol the shoe rack can quickly be dismantled into a spear like weapon. That said, this thing really is a piece of junk. I bought these as a gift for my brother. I bought the 25 boned small waist trainer and Im extremely pleased. Will they last forever? No, probably only a season, bit if they were built to last for years they would be work boots and not slippers. And the price on this pair was great as well! I got some stickers from the dollar store to cover the holes and am very pleased with the finished look!
