Lightweight and comfortable with decent isolation. Quite portable when folded, nice cables (although there's no 1/4" TRS adapter and hard case, only a soft pouch). Presentation is intimate (I'm used to open backs), but soundstage is more or less natural (eye-shaped), with good height and less depth. Bass is humped and tastefully boosted with good impact, but doesn't overshadow the rest. Slightly rounded in nature, it won't be the most detailed, but it's adequately tight and textured. It kinda goes thump and has a weighty impact. The mids, which are easy to pick out, are in line with the bass and treble, and are not defined to the extent that it sounds as though the singer were there (slightly hazed over in lower mids, sometimes not enough body behind it/nasal, esp in upper male vocals), but manages well enough to sound like a good recording. Lowest mids have a hint of dark warmth carried over from the bass, and female vocals sound a bit breathy (sibilance possible depending on recording). Treble has grain, which is most obvious in the low treble. Upper treble is quite enjoyable with a little sparkle, though extension could be better; this makes it seem a little closed-in. Overall it sounds more natural than the Jays u-JAYS, I daresay it's a similar gentle W shaped frequency response.
PS: The mic on the provided cable has good sound quality :)

phoenixsongThank you! Just burned out the coils on my AKG 220 by leaving them plugged into a mixer during a show. Those headphones where better in the studio with the open back but not able to isolate a track like my old Sony MDR V700‘s that where the best ever for live sound and drum tracking. Choosing headphones for mixing is tough. I need high power, no distortion at +20dbu, low Z, swivel, crushable with a long cord and flat. Your detailed description througout the frequency range helps me decide if there are worth getting without hearing them first. The fostex are another option but I worry they will be too harsh and painful while soloing a track.

Btw when you mention Fostex, were you referring to the THX00?
