While the build quality of Moray is pretty typical of $40 buds (and sadly, a href="http://gizmodo.com/387766/razer-vs-steelseries-pc-gaming-gear-battlemodo-which-one-made-me-a-better-gamer"Razer gear all-around/a), they definitely perform above and beyond their class./p pLike a href="http://gizmodo.com/gadgets/portable-media/v+moda-vibe-fashion-earbuds-hands+on-verdict-audibly-sexy-217996.php"V-Moda’s Vibes/a, they’re all about bass, and pack plenty of surprisingly rich punch there. But they also suffer a bit from the same problem that a href="%C3%A2%C2%80%C2%9Dhttp://gizmodo.com/5033455/ultimate-cut+the+crap-in+ear-headphone-battlemodo%C3%A2%C2%80%C2%9D"plagues most bass-heavy buds/amdash;slightly muddy sound in mids and highs.
