"Great headphones"on March 9, 2009

Pros: -Sound is phenomenal
-Excellent bass without sounding muddy (I did turn on the treble boost EQ on my iPod though)
-COMFORTABLE
-Sturdy, feel very well made
-Plenty of volume

Cons: -The cord is pretty long, takes a while to get used to if you are a college student walking to class with these. (Then again, made for pro DJs)

Summary:These are great headphones. I am somewhat picky with my music sound. I like bass but if it sounds muddy I am annoyed. These do a great job of balancing both with a SLIGHT overemphasis of bass, which i like, without the other sounds getting dominated over (again i messed with the EQ to my taste on my iPod) If you like bass but want an overall balanced sound as well you will be impressed.

There is definitely a bias towards techno/ hip hoppy pop music, and those genres sound amazing on these phones. I found myself listening to Katy Perry not being able to turn it to something different because the beats sounded so good on these phones. All my hardcore, metal, and acoustic music sounded great as well, but the pop/ rap / techno sort of music is what really shines on these.

You people who complain about comfort of these either have huge ears or bought the cheap knock offs from China on ebay. I have listened with these for hours with zero discomfort. Very comfortable.

I had the Bose Triport in-ear headphones. I spend $100 on those. I bought these because one of the buds stopped working and its been only a year. I consider these an upgrade over those. I also claim that these are better than the bose over-the-ear phones that everyone is buying nowadays for $140. Bose overcharges for their crap. Thats what I think about Bose.

I got these for $80 on amazon. Worth every penny. You can get these for under $100 anywhere now. Pick them up. They're great.

"Amazing... Nothing more to it Highly recommended"on April 19, 2010

Pros: I am an experienced DJ and I have tried almost every headphone out there. These are by far the best cans I've tried. You see lots of reviews saying the swivel will break... This is true but i have been harsh with mine and they've worked (see summary)

Cons: None that i can think of. note: I would not recommend this product to anybody who wont use prope equipment. Use for only DJing or other music producing needs. Without a proper mixer/equalizer you will lose quality and should buy cheaper cans.

Summary: My headphones have been roughed up a bit and are in still working condition. My recommendation would be buying through Guitar Center because there is a 2 year protection plan that is $20. So what i have done is "accidentally" broke them after a year and a few months, and then they send you a check for the worth of the headphones. Then you buy another pair and get another protection plan for $20. So short story short you can get a new pair of headphones whenever you want for $20 (+ tax, so an extra few bucks)
