5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent crisp sound quality., September 11, 2008

By	Dreadwing "Coqui" (New York,NY USA) - See all my reviews

Build Quality: Excellent and sturdy, thick cables and sturdy plugs

Isolation: So far so good for me with the supplied plugs, others who may not feel comfortable may want to try out the Sony Ex series plugs.

Sound Quality: The sound quality is phenomenal, it beats out my Shure e4 on the bass and has very good mids & highs. I've used it for a couple of days an I can't put them down.. I've never enjoyed using plugs this much to be honest.

I've had the Eytmotic er6i & the Panasonic HJ-E70 & Shure Ec3 & Ec4, V-moda Vibes, and I'm most comfortable with these, it's worth the price and more.
I can definitely recommend these to anyone.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great upgrade for the money, May 14, 2008

By	Kent Hasel (Santa Rosa,CA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

These headphones really show how poor the iPod headphones are. I can hear things in my music I didn't even know were there. I find them very comfortable and for me the "normal" size inserts work great but having a couple other sizes is nice. The only down side I see is the use of a extension cord which makes the cord heavy hanging down at times which can get it caught on something or even pull a ear bud out at times. I did find that by uncoupling the cord I could untangle more quickly which helped make up for that annoyance. For the price I don't think you could find better.

5.0 out of 5 stars On par with Shure SE310, but INCREDIBLE bass. Kick's V-Moda's A$$., April 6, 2008

By	Devinity - See all my reviews

Incredible bass!!! Lows and highs are magnificently detailed and highs are not drowned out at all. Close to the V-Moda Vibe in terms of sound signature, but superior in every regard. Better than Super.Fi 3, 5 EB, 5 Pro. On arguably par with Shure SE310. Solid machined aluminum housing is an advantage.

Denon AH-C700 is about 10%-20% improvement, but not at all worth twice the price.

Recommend the Sony EX replacement tips (available from sonystyle) for better comfort. If you have trouble getting a proper seal, try tips from Koss, (available from the Koss website).

These are relatively new (Nov '07) and thus haven't been reviewed much. The C700 has been out. These are big time favorites by nearly everyone who has used them[...].

Far superior to everything else in this price range, you absolutely will not be disappointed by the Denon AH-C551.
