This is the best headphone I have found for watching TV or listening to voice.However, for music it is sibilant, harsh has too much treble. Bass is weak. Extremely fatiguing.I own or have owned just about every high end headphone on the market. Overall these are better than most $35-40 headphones, but both the Koss Porta Pro and Sennheiser PX100 in the same price range are vastly more musical, lighter weight and more portable.However, the reason I keep these around is because I have never found a better headphone for TV watching or listening to spoken recordings. I can make out very clearly with little strain, exactly what is being said. They are quite comfortable and the long cord is nice.
