Review: Overpriced and Poor Quality

This is the second set of Dulcia headphones, specifically branded for use with the Kindle Fire, I have tried.  While these headphones are pretty stylish, I have had a hard time keeping them firmly in my ear - they fall out with the slightest move - despite changing out the tips (you get three different sets in the package) and literally pushing them into my ear canal almost to the point of being uncomfortable.The sound is very poor quality considering these retail for $65 here on Amazon.  While advertised as a "premium sound experience" for the Kindle Fire HD, the bass is almost non-existent and the sound has a hollow echo to it no matter what song I played.Wanting to test the bass, and using my standard test of any new stereo system of Van Halen's "Panama," it sounded like I was in an echo chamber.  So, I switched to a classic country song ("Memories to Burn" by Gene Watson), and it was even worse.Thinking it was my device's problem, I switched from the 8.9" Fire HD to the second generation Fire, followed by my ten year old Sansa MP3 player.  Same result.  I also tried it on an iPad2 and it sounded the same.  I then took out my $9.99 pair of Sony headphones I got from Wal-Mart with the same songs and the same devices and the sound was rich and full like I was expecting and the way it should at a minimum with these premium headphones.All in all, you're getting a great looking design with poor audio quality.  Times are tough enough right now, and for $65 you can get several sets of cheaper headphones that sound the same or better.  Seeing as how this is the second set of Dulcia headphones I've tried with the same results, I would avoid this brand due to the poor sound quality.
