I'm not sure about these set of cans, although not an audiophile I've been around the forums and know what basics I feel are important to me, and currently I feel a little fed up with my Koss Pro DJ cans. Also reading everything I think what stands out most about these headphones, both good and bad is: Good - Sound Quality & Build Quality. Bad - Fitting & Isolation. Which is an easy fix if one goes about ordering a set of valuer memory foam pads and just does some DIY fitting (Alpha Dog pads and some Beyerdynamic pad maybe). But these conclusions I do admit may sit far from the truth, but I feel that comfort in my situation I can sacrifice for what I assume is some beastly sound quality. And if I throw a hissy fit about comfort well DIY maintenance that shiz. So if you are staring at these headphones like I was, wondering endlessly, though the vast comments and reviews, I say take the risk, since $120 (+$25 for international = $145 USD) for what should be $270 - 300 is worth it considering what people with $500 pair of headphones are saying about them. But this is how I feel, the decision is yours and yours alone. Keep in mind there is a limited quantity too. Now I sit here, waiting in anticipation as to what exactly I have gotten myself into.
