I was pleasently surprised at the sound quality of the Titans. I have always though Skullcandy was just utter garbage. There are plenty of Sony, JVC, models that sound much worse. The bass is loud with these. Not very accurate, but it's booming and there. The mids are ok, the highs are a little attenuated and again, not very detailed. These are good gym earbuds or for your teenage son/daughter. Just not detailed enough for any critical listening-that's not to say they are horrible. On rap and dance tracks it makes me think I am in Vegas in club. I just with the tips had more choices. The small tip is too small and the medium is a tad too big, so I went with the Comply T400 and they hold the bud in place, but the do attenuate the highs a bit, which I don't like.
