There are no highs, the mid range is distant and sounds like 2 cans and a wet piece of string. The nice part is that is looks great and has a snug fit. Once I figured that all out they were on in ten minutes. Hes been using them for two months now and hes extremely pleased with this product! They are bulky to be honest and I would not use it outside. Hes also very funny. Also fine with smaller ones. Second time ordering. I put it together which was fairly straight forward except 1 of the 10 bars is off from the others meaning it wont align properly for the screw which means my 5 bike rack is now a 4. There were the typical "new shoes" blisters the first few wears, but now that they are "broken in" they are the most comfortable ever.
