Initial impression: "At least I didn't waste too much money on these nasty sounding phones!" Muted treble and bass, leaving a midrange mush, absolute garbage sound signature.
After 12 hours of moderate volume break-in: "Wow. Just wow. Now I see what people are raving about!"
Clear, airy treble, defined mids, and a clean textured bass. Not a basshead set of headphones, but full sounding.
These are a joy to listen to. I'm tempted to buy an extra set!

I consider the $80-90 Sony headphones as the industry standard for flat, uncolored sound. You'll see them in a lot of videos in recording studios on the talent in the booths. These Monoprice headphones are right up there with them in terms of sound quality and uncolored, balanced lows, mids and high frequency reproduction. I couldn't be happier with the value of these cans.

Sound and build quality are amazing for the price, I have 0 complaints.

Purchased these wired headphones because I wanted to see if they would improve my music experience. Paired with an inexpensive Alex Cavalli headphone amp (available from Monoprice), they really sound great! Super clear, they were tuned a bit more to the higher frequencies but mellowed out over time. Construction is super solid, they are comfortable, and I can't imagine getting much better headphones at this price point.

YMMV but I was very pleasantly surprised by these headphones! Some one mentioned the super long cord and yeah, it's a bit old school but if you're lying in bed, listening to music, you'll need that extra length...

Great quality at a great price point

These are solid well constructed headphones. The sound is clean and even. These have very good bass response but not muddy.

Comfortable with good sound quality. They fit heads large and small but don't over extend against the wiring!

I let headphones break in for 15 hours and then listened to streaming music in HD. They sound good for price point. I am very satisfied. I have 6 sets of Monoprice headphones. They are best bang for your buck company.

I bought these primarily because they look sturdy; I've had too many headphones break too quickly because they had too many cheap plastic parts. There are still a couple pieces I'm worried about with this pair, but so far so good. The sound quality is fine, and I suspect you'd have to pay quite a bit more (i.e. over $100) to see any meaningful improvement. Pretty comfortable, too, without any of that plasticy padding covering that slowly frays.

Well worth the price. I find the sound to be pleasant and they are comfortable. They are also solidly built. I've owned phones that sound better, perhaps, (AKG, Sony, Beyer)but they all cost 3 times more than these if not more.
These will satisfy most casual listener's needs
