(4 out of 5)Better than my MDR-500's
They just arrived today!
They sound great. I'm used to my Sony MDR-500's and the sound quality from these waaay surpasses that, in my opinion. I'm only just getting used to the different feel, though. The bass response is full and rich, and the higher frequencies still come though really clearly. I don't listen to much dance/techno but I feel like I've been in the recording studio with radiohead...and my colleagues can't hear a thing, they don't leak at all :-)
They quite neatly fit round your ears, and feel quite heavy at first. The headpiece only has padding in the middle on the underside, but that's the only place that they need it.
My biggest complaint so far? the length of the cable. Sat at my machine with my box under the desk, the cable (coiled) pulls gently just enough to be taut against the edge of my desk. So, a little longer would be nicer, but it's quite bearable. I can still lean back in my chair with no worries.
I reckon that in another week or so my rating would be more like 5 stars..but I would *really* like to see a longer cable.
(5 out of 5)The best headphones I've ever owned
I have owned a pair of these headphones for over 5 years now. The right speaker in the right ear has finally blown but with constant use for mixing and just general listening, I couldn't recommend a better pair of headphones. In the past I have used Yamaha, Sony, Pioneer and Beyer but I can honestly say I would get another pair of these in a second if I could find somewhere who has them in stock.
