I would note that i always have to have my volume one point louder to get the same volume as other headphones

Couple of critiques however the barrel shaped design while sturdy and easy to get in does mean these stick out of your ears quite prominently i wouldnt be able

Sound cancellation the audio quality on these is fantastic for the money

Its the absence of certain things which makes these so good the bass isnt the staticfilled washy sound you get on cheap headphones instead a well rounded pulse
