Great Headphones:
I haven't used that many high-end headphones but of all that I've tried, these are the best. They are comfortable, lightweight and have a very nice cord length.

Reflection after 12 months use:
I normally don't write reviews, but for these headphones I'll make an exception. They are the ultimate. I have been using them basically non-stop for 12 months with a variety of music at a variety of volume- Jazz mostly but also metal, classical, j-pop, prog rock, you get the idea. I thought I would buy these exclusively for studio monitoring, but they work so g*ddam well that I use them to engineer albums too. They worked great right out of the box, but the icing on the cake is that they actually... more info
