What is it?

Basically it is a relatively cheap pair of headphones made by a well-known brand.

The good:

-          Sounds good

-          Relatively inexpensive being made by Sony

-          Solidly built

The Bad:

-          The Y-cords should become a thing of the past

-          This day and age a built in mic is a must

-          Bass is underwhelming specially for studio monitors      

The ugly:

My $8 Emerson studio headphones sound better in my opinion.

My Thoughts:

Overall I like these headphones they are good for regular use. The highs and Mids are fine but bass is a little underwhelming if you ask me.
