 "Good comfort, sound -- falls apart later" | 2009-10-19 |

I've had these headphones for a couple of years now. They sound great and are VERY comfortable, with a silky-smooth earcup lining that means you can wear them for hours.
UNFORTUNATELY, that same, comfortable lining soon began to crack, and is now flaking off in pieces about the size of a dime. The headphones still sound good, are still comfortable, but quite a bit of thin, black plastic came off before I noticed the problem. Walking around with stuff like that stuck to the side of your head is not a fashion statement.
Is is not sun-induced, as I use them only indoors. I think it may be some kind of fatigue from putting them on and taking them off. So far, it's only happened to the right earcup. The left remains intact.
Maybe I just have very caustic skin oils, on one side of my head? I think not.
I really liked these headphones soon after I bought them, but now that this has happened I just can't recommend them. |

I play a lot of videogames, and I like to play them privately as to not bother my roomates. After using these headphones I can pick up a bunch of little sounds in the games that I couldn't before, like shell casings hitting the ground, or someones hands rubbing against a wall, all of these little sounds add a great deal of immersion to the games, and sometimes help me hear an enemy.
For music and movies these headphones are also great, several little audio details that usually go unnoticed become loud and clear, I've had no tinny sounds, no overloads, these have a great sound quality, and after wearing them for hours they remain comfortable, I highly recommend these headphones to anyone who wants to either listen in privacy or would like to pick up unnoticed sounds

| "Great headphones that last for years!" | 2009-09-18 |

| I have been using these headphones for nearly eight years, and they still sound incredible. They catch the highest highs and lowest lows, and the construction is built to last. I use these for DJing and I have hauled these headphones to countless clubs and gigs with nary a problem in all the years I've used them. I also have a pair at home that sound great no matter what you're plugging them into, be it a stereo, an ipod, or a television set. For the price, you simply cannot get a better pair of headphones for the price. Buy with confidence! |

 "Good for about 3-4 years" | 2009-09-17 |

| These headphones work outstanding, great sound especially for music recording/monitoring. The only issue is that the rubber/plastic that covers the foam will peel after about 2-4 years. And when this happen the phones will not seal properly and will cause bleeding in an recording enviroment. I Wish they had away to replace this, instead of buying a new pair. This is the only reason I gave them a 4 out of 5! |

I have been using these headphones for a few years now, and they have never ceased to amaze me. I recently bought another pair for my sister, and yet another after that pair was stolen, so i have become quite accustomed to these headphones. When friends borrow these headphones they complain about the size of the cups, but I have grown to love the comfort. After hours of listening I usually have forgotten that they are on. The bass can be a smidgen overwhelming, but that only adds to the fun of video games and music. They are really great is you like listening to Trance or Dubstep tunes. If true accuracy in your sound is what you want, I would recommend the Sony MDR-7506's, which I use when composing music. The only gripe I can make about these headphones is the hollow/cheap/plastic noise they make when being handled or adjusted, but this is quickly fixed by simply never removing them from your head :)
