Well-balanced, truly wide frequency response
- Comments: If you have a relatively high quality sound system, these headphones will deliver clean, accurate sound. They sound great with lower-quality amplifiers also, but if your amp puts out any kind of hiss, these sensitive headphones will let you know.
These headphones output what you put in them with minimal distortion and terrific soundstage. Bass, midrange, and treble all sound amazing.
Important: When you first buy these, they will not sound very good until you let them "burn in" by playing semi-loud bass-heavy music through them for at least 100 hours. If you don't do this, they will sound like cheaper headphones unworthy of their price tag until they eventually burn in. This process "relaxes" the new magnets in the headphones.
If you would like to read reviews by people who call themselves audiophiles, I reccomend searching the web for forums that discuss these headphones.
Obviously, headphones of this quality may not be worth their cost to you. With headphones, as with most products, the cost goes up exponentially with increased quality, and isn't really paralled by exponential performance gains. Let rationaliy be your guide.
Amazing.
- Pros: Very clear and crisp with the correct sound card, loud, very high quality when compared to other headphones.
Plus the lining feels very soft =D
- Cons: Like others have mentioned, can rattle at really high sound levels, but to get there you would be putting your ears in dangerously loud levels of sound.
- Other Thoughts: I have the X-fi Xtremegamer paired with this, undoubtedly a must for games required the art of sound detection.
I've been banned from many CS:S servers for accused walling.
They're really soft =D

Happy to own them
- Pros: Comfortable, durable, nice sound. I have had these constantly plugged into my computer for over a year, have occasionally dropped them and rolled over the cable with my desk chair, and they continue to perform flawlessly.
- Cons: You could get better sound quality than these (but you'd probably have to pay at least twice the price to get it). The sound seemed to have a bit less weight to it than I would have hoped.
- Other Thoughts: The standard cable they come with is very long, which can be good or bad. Also, standard cable ends in a 6.3mm connector, so you need to attach the included 3.5mm connector for common applications. Attaching the adaptor makes the jack/plug a bit long and relatively heavy.
The earcups may feel a bit stiff initially, but are very comfortable once you break them in.
Good Headphones
- Pros: Amazing sound quality for price and good bass. They are pretty light.
- Cons: Too much pressure and it creates a little discomfort for you head if you wear them for longer than 30 mins.
- Other Thoughts: I would recommend these headphones because of the price, it has the sound quality of $400 headphones.
Love it
- Pros: Best sound I have ever heard from headphones
- Cons: None
- Other Thoughts: Buy them now... buy two because someone is going to be jelous of them and then you can sell them the extra for mark up ;p
