I cannot tell you how many headphones I looked at before finally deciding on these. I was looking for a few key components in on ear models and these nailed it. First, I was looking for sound quality, particularly a lot of bass, but not so much that it smothered the mids and highs. I'm a very active listener in the beautiful sounds that dubstep, trap, and electronic have to offer, but that's not all. I love me some jazz and bluegrass, and too much bass with those genres ruins the whole thing. Good highs and mids make jazz and bluegrass sound good. Sol Republic did not disappoint with the highs. Crisp and clear, and yet, not screechy. In my opinion, the highs are perfect. If you have looked at other reviews before mine, you know that these headphones pack a boatload of bass, enough to physically rattle your ears at high volumes. The only slight trouble is the mids. Sometimes the vocals or heavy distortion instruments like guitar chords get drowned or blurred together. Rock sounds kind of weird on these headphones, I won't lie. It's not annoying to listen to, just a little odd, so if you're a big rock fan, perhaps look elsewhere. The second thing I looked for is style. I turned down a lot of headphones because they were real funky lookin'. Man, I get a lot of positive stuff from my friends and even people I don't know very well. These headphones look really sweet on your head or around your neck or whatever. Style-wise, you can't go wrong. The last thing I looked for is all around functionality/practicality, like comfort and durability. As far as comfort is concerned, these hurt my ears after about 2 hours, and I have to give them a break. Deal-breaker? I don't know, it doesn't bother me too much, but maybe some are more particular than others. Durability-wise, the headband is indestructible and that is the truth of it. I have bent these so that the ear cups are reverse and face outward. Freaky stuff. The wire is thin after the split where it becomes two wires, I fear that one day they'll get ripped out or something, but for now they're holding stronger than I thought they might. I think these are the best sub-$100 on ear headphones you will find. That's just my honest opinion.

V8 VS V10
V8 Vs V10 I have bought the V10 a while ago but they were not up to my expectation. V10 were big and not as bassy as i would like. They were also not comfy, too tight on my head ( and i'm average, not a big guy ). That being said, the sound for everything else was perfect, but i like edm, bassy rap and i like my bass to vibrate my ears. So I continued my quest for headphone, I got skullcandy hesh 2, ( for 30$ i recommend them a lot, comfy, nice all around sound, bassy best in class for the $ ) Sony, beats ( only tried as i did not wanted to throw 300$ for a headphone... I stop my choice on earbuds S4i from klipsch at 40$ at best buy. Then the Soul Republic V8 were at a winners/homesense for 50$, I have saw a lot ( and i mean a lot ) of review on the net, and people often say they are more bassy and overrall better than V10. primarily because they work best with phone and mp3 that can't fully drive the V10 ( and that make some sense ). Boy they were right. A lot more comfy, Alot more bass ( maybe a bit too much ) My quest is done. Yours too, buy them. I have also the earbuds Soul republic AMPS I6, and i needed new tips, I just filled a form on their website and 1-2 weeks after they were in my mail. So services is good up to date. I am the type of person that want the best of the best, but this time I recommend the V8 over the V10 big time. I have not been paid or push to make this review.
