Okay, I decided to give it a quick shot before I seriously listen to them and I must say I'm pleasantly surprised. The bass has solid impact, the mids aren't tinny (really wasn't expecting this!), but the treble lacks some sparkle. Here's to hoping it'll open up with some use - or my ears getting unclogged. I'll also have to test soundstage, but so far, these surprisingly impress for a $70 headset. They're comfortable as well, I like the suspension headband.
Really quick first impressions review:
-Tested on an iPhone 4S via FiiO E5 Amplifier-
Treble: Lacks sparkle, but feels present
Mids: Also lack sparkle and quite recessed depending on genre, but otherwise, thankfully not tinny and has richness
Bass: Focus of the signature, very impactful but feels flat
Detail: Passable, but I expected it to be more revealing considering its designed for gaming.
Soundstage: About same level as my HD25, subpar to my SE215 and a little better than your standard M50.
Instrument Separation: Don't feel it at all, hope it opens up.
Tone: Feels flat, most likely my ears or the lack of diaphragm burn-in.
