I wanted an old style headphone so was initially interested in them. Out of the box, I find the overall sound quality to be inferior to the Samsung headphones that came with my Note 4. Without the EQ, I would have preferred the $2 Samsung headphones over them. Why three stars instead of one? The HE100 is more detailed and has a much better image. However, in my opinion, the HE100 needs a significant increase in the bass and mids with an equalizer. Without boosting the bass and mids, they sound very anemic, booming. By boosting the bass and mid-range frequencies with the EQ, they sound warmer, fuller and more detailed. High frequencies are comfortable and don't need an equalizer. With the equalizer I would give them four stars for the sound. I do not know. did i get a married couple I don't think so because they sound good with EQ. I suspect I could find something much better for half the money or even less. You get two stars for sound, but I added an extra star for build quality, which is good. If we talk about their EQ, four stars for the sound.
