I'm not an expert and I don't listen to music very often. I received the headphones for free as a gift with the purchase of a macbook, I would definitely not have taken these myself. When I ordered on the Internet, I thought they were larger, as a result, they do not completely close their ears, but sit right on them, because of this, the ears always hurt. Again, not an expert, the sound is difficult to assess, I compared it with Sony headphones, I don’t remember the exact model, but the price is the same, I liked Sony more
