I use these mainly for listening to music at a computer. The sound is okay but not amazing, you can really tell that these are cheap headphones. It's not clear, with a slightly muffled bass response and a bit dark in the high end. However, they're perfectly functional, and the sound quality is fine for the price. They're a bit flimsy but again, acceptable build quality for the price. The headphones are comfortable to wear, and the cable is a good length for listening at a desk -you'd probably want something longer for monitoring. Overall, these headphones are good value, but if you're wanting to do some serious work, it'll pay off to invest a bit more.
