A billion times better than the old ones. I couldn't even use them for more than 5 mins at a time as they make your ears ache, but the new ones are very comfy and have two speaker holes in each pod now. I don't know if that's something that all posh headphones have these days, but I didn't expect that. Very comfortable to wear, or at least they seemed to be.
Sounds quality was very good, albeit a little bassy I think. That might be my settings though, I'd need to have a further play.
