Sound is so crisp and extremely bass heavy.

These are one of the best bluetooth headphones out there. The sound is so crisp and they are extremely bass heavy. They even have a Bass Boost button! (Button only works when connected to bluetooth). You can use them without bluetooth if you have a 3.5mm audio jack.

Bass Heavy

Perfect for those bassheads out there. I use them to make sure my songs are "stronk" enough.
