Review on 🎧 Monoprice 116150 Modern Retro Over Ear Headphones with Comfortable Ear Pads – Ideal for Mobile Devices, HiFi, and Audio/Video Production – Black by James Jack

Headphones sound "funny" for $30 headphones in my opinion. Yes, they have a pretty wide soundstage. Yes, they are pretty bass-heavy. Yes, they definitely benefit in terms of comfort from upgrading the pads to Brainwav XL. There is imaging technology, and while it seems to have fewer highs than some of the other stuff I have, it costs a lot less. They are great for R&B and rap. Masta Ace's Disposable Arts album sounds great. The problem is that I seem to miss parts of the sound in more neutral headphones like the M40x. But then again, they cost more. And to be honest, I like the sound of the retros better than the completely flat and boring sound of the AKG M220 Pro. So yeah, for $30 I recommend them. An over-the-top soundstage and deep but manageable bass are its main selling points. The quiet nature of the high frequencies, the lack of accuracy in the rest of the frequency range and the 10 foot cable are the downsides. In addition, assembly is cheap. Oh, and the stock pads are pretty stiff and good. Shit. But they're decently fun and clean headphones for $30. That meant I wasn't overly concerned when I chopped off the wire and made my first detachable cable mod. budget earphones. They will probably put a smile on your face.
