Lows / Bass

The bass is weak, but the earphones are quite capable of producing a better bass response, you just need a well-amplified source. Your PC's on-board sound card or your mobile phone are not enough.

Mids / Vocals

The vocals are clear and precise, a pleasure to listen to. The problem remains the volume. You need more 'juice' to power them up.

Highs / Treble

Even when not amplified, the highs are very clear and detailed. No distortions at all.
