Lemme just say, these are amazing. Not as detailed as the 6XX, they can definitely be bassy as much as they can be trebly, but (using velour pads) these are an extremely good pair of closed backs for $150/$170. I mostly got these as a travel pair: easy to drive, durable, and best of all, they're so unassuming (which is maybe just a nice way of saying ugly, although I don't mind the design) that I won't have to worry about anyone trying to steal them.
Only big problem I have is the left ear is a couple dbs louder than the right. I'm sensitive to that sort of thing but I'm still considering contacting Massdrop.
frivoflava29Ive got to say that,while I can understand why you use the velour, it puts my ears so far from the driver i lose all its inherent energy! So i switched back :)
