just got mine, and well dam like seriously in overall sound quality for the price I've never heard anything sound better. i was tempted to get the nuforce edc's but the reviews for them where 50/50 and a bit of build quality issues, where as these seems to be built like a tank and sound really good, slight v shape but still quite warm, smooth highs, i'd say they sound similar in tonality to dt880s but less spiky treble.
