There are three things you need to know about me: I have sensitive hearing, love bass, and I'm a huge Bose fan. These headphones are better than my Bose home speakers!
Got these puppies today, plugged them in, and queued up Charles Mingus' "Haitian Fight Song." (Which, imo, is the ultimate test of any audio equipment. If you can hear Mingus doing his thang in the background without the trumpet blasting your ears off, you've got good stuff!) These headphones performed admirably; I heard stuff (like string noise) that I had never heard before!
I will admit, however, that these are flat equalized, and maybe that's the difference between headphones and monitors? At any rate, MOAR BASS. So I loaded up some Type O Negative. Beautiful, beautiful, sublime and clear sound, but the bass was once again in the background, not front and center like I'm used to. So, if you're a bass nerd, you might want to EQ these to your liking.
Pros: Sounds like they should cost WAY more than they do, no distortion at high (>80%) volume, super lightweight, and comfortable on my kid-sized head.
Cons: Might need an equalizer if you're not happy with the flat EQ. Literally, that's my only con.

High Quality (better than some $$$ ones), Sturdy, Comfortable
I recently purchased these headphones, which exceeded my expectations regarding sturdiness, comfort, and overall quality. From the moment I unboxed them, I could tell they were built to last. Sometimes, a simple design is the best! I have gone through at least ten other expensive headphones, including Beats, Bose, Sony, etc., but I was never satisfied with Bluetooth or the ones with a cable. The materials used here feel premium. I have accidentally dropped them a couple of times, and they showed no signs of damage. When it comes to comfort, these headphones truly shine. The ear cushions are plush and soft, perfect for long listening sessions without discomfort. I often wear them for hours while working or relaxing, and I never experience any fatigue. The adjustable headband ensures a snug fit without being too tight, which is often a struggle with other headphones. The sound quality is simply fantastic. The clarity and depth of the audio elevate my listening experience. They are effective for noise canceling. It comes with a neat pouch to store it. I removed the original adapter and attached it to an iPhone adapter I purchased from Amazon, and it works perfectly. Overall, I highly recommend these headphones to anyone searching for a sturdy, comfortable, and high-quality (with a budget) option. They represent excellent value for the price.
