“I used to work for Geek Squad, and I always saw people buying them and I tried so hard to explain that they break so easily and aren’t really that great, but no one would listen. They would usually be back in about 3-4 weeks with a broken pair of Beats..”

Great for Electronica, Rock, and Hip Hop-‘Pop’

‘Production’ headset-Great for studio use
Klipsch R6i
Best fitting ear bud out there. Deep bass pop, great overall sound.
