Even someone like me, who isn't fussy about speakers, earphones, and headphones, can tell that these TRIBECA BUBINGA WOOD STUDIO HEADPHONES deliver an extraordinary sound experience.  You can hear every detail of the music, as if you were listening to a private performance in a great concert hall.  My tastes are eclectic, ranging from pop ("California Dreamin'") to classical (Handel's "Messiah") to opera ("Un Bel Di Vedremo"), and these headphones make everything sound equally wonderful.Ever since I put these headphones on, I haven't wanted to take them off.  They deliver the same fabulous sound whether they're connected to an iPod Touch, a Phillips Ariaz MP3 player, an ASUS Essentio desktop PC, or a Kindle Fire HD 8.9" tablet.  The difference in sound from the headphones and from the devices' built-in speakers is quite extraordinary.  These headphones exclude nearly all outside noise, and leak little sound to the room, even with the volume turned all the way up.Also, these headphones are beautiful:  the red Bubinga wood on the earpieces is polished smooth, and the nontangling audio cable has little accent bits of Bubinga wood at each plug end.  The large gold outer connector plug for stereo equipment unscrews to reveal a smaller gold plug that fits mobile devices.  The self-adjusting head strap really works--these headphones are very comfortable to wear.  Like all headphones that I've tried, they eventually start to make my ears sore, but I think that I'll get used to this.  Because of the sound they deliver, I'm going to wear these headphones!
