Pros: These things sound incredible. Crystal clear.

Cons: nice for the first while, but uncomfortable for lengthy listening sessions or gaming, they start to really hurt your ears.

Other Thoughts: I love this set of cans, don't get me wrong, but they stick with my iPod. Looking elsewhere for gaming headphones.

Pros: Comfort 4/5
Sound Quality 5/5
SQ adjusted for price 7/5
Build Quality 5/5

Quick guide to headphone buying - Compare the following, listed in order of importance:

Frequency response - These things will hit 10Hz, that's lower than a 12" subwoofer. You will hear bass lines you didn't even know were there. Then, all the way up to 24kHz, that extra 4khz at the top isn't considered "audible," but, musical instruments produce harmonics many octaves above and below the note played, and while you can't actually hear all of them, the harmonics above the human hearing range add a depth that can't be achieved by lesser headphones.

Sensitivity - The higher the better

Driver size - as long as its 40mm or greater

Bottom line: These cans sound better than a set of beats at half the price, and look twice as cool. They are some nice cans, and for any type of music.

Cons: The comfort I mentioned above isn't an issue. My ears get sore after a long listening session, but by that point, you will probably want to take a break anyway.

Other Thoughts: Why didn't you tell me there was a brown and white version? I'd definitely have bought those.
