I was on the hunt recently for a new pair of headphones, perferably something that had a pretty good price, but had a nice output of sound, not to mention a hint of style, so I did my research and ended up decided on finding the best WESC headphones I could. I know what you're thinking, "WESC is a clothing brand! FART FART FART" or "THEY SELL THOSE AT THE MALL IN CLOTHING STORES! PEE PEE PEE" but I went ahead with it anyway, and ended up getting the $150 Bag Pipes, and disappointed I am not!
It took less than a few days to get them shipped to me from the wonderful turntable lab and they arrived in a stylish package, which is besides the point, y'all probably (don't really) wanna know how they sound!
In a word, splendid.
My most experience with "good" headphones were various types of (horrid) skullcandy's, most notably the Skullcrusher's, which have a built in subwoofer that turns your favorite songs into piles of bassy shit that are impossible to hear, so luckily these Bag Pipes don't do that. My $150 bought me a lovely amount of bass, that's just enough to let those dubstep songs feel...dubsteppy, but not too much to turn my favorite Kinks songs into...dubstep. The biggest compliment I can make is that these bad boys cancel sound like a motherfucker. It's caused me to be highly paranoid when I listen to music, people just "sneak" up on my ass when my favorite Coheed songs are blasting my ears. That's because I can't fucking hear a thing besides the crisp, clean, and ear-filling noise of whatever I'm hearing at the time.
The functionality of the headphones are great, with there being plenty of twisting, turning, and folding these babies can do that make them feel like your old transformer action figures...just more sturdy. I definitely get the impression that you could use these to do some DJ'ing, or just easy listening. They are like buying a great flatscreen...just in a sexy silver instead of plain black! They look absolutely badass, I love the color scheme, the modern look, and the wicked sweet curly chord, it's just great! I love these things, and I'd definitely recommend you go find a pair!
Pros: Stylish, sounds clean, crisp, and sexy as fuck. Functionality is great, and doesn't hurt they make me horny?
Cons: Too sexy? Oh and I could have used a nice adjustable switch for the amount of bass to clarity found on other WESC headphones. Oh well...they still make me a horny bastard. :)
