Good tuning, great bass, excellent build quality, cheap price - what's not to love? Well - the treble is not to love. Treble sounds weird, metallic, and a bit zingy - if you like that, then this is the set for you! Previously Owned

Surprisingly decent technicalities for the price. Pretty well tuned throughout harsh in the upper registers. However, they are fatiguing to me and even caused a headache, but if you're okay with that region, then this could be a solid pick. Not for me. Previously Owned

Basically the modded Zero with slight more bass. Best note-weight out of the $20 sets. Berrylium bass baby.

Decent treble with acceptable extension and detail. Can sound slightly unrefined but avoids being harsh or sibilant.
Dynamics B
Good dynamic expression with solid impact. Handles volume contrasts well while maintaining good transient snap.
Soundstage C+
Decent spatial presentation with noticeable width. Some depth perception but height dimension remains underdeveloped.

Average resolution - reveals basic elements but misses subtleties. Satisfactory for casual listening but lacks refinement.
Imaging C-
Average imaging - reasonable localization but lacks specificity. Instruments have general positions but lack pinpoint accuracy.

Fundamental left/right positioning with limited depth perception. Works for non-competitive gaming but lacks precision.

Best I've heard under $50

Pros
Excellent tuning for the price, small shells should fit vast majority of ears well.
Cons
Touch too much eargain, can come off as shouty/honky at times, easily remedied with 10 band EQ.
