This is a great pair of headphones for those who want good headphones for home use. They are a bit "bassy" for my tastes, but otherwise they are great. Music is very detailed, and human voices sound naturally through them without colorations.
Now a year old, HEAVILY used, this pair of headphones is still exactlty like the day I bought them. The sound they produce is at least as good as my ears can handle and their durability is the best I can imagine. I would not hesitate to put these in use in any commercial situation, to be used all day every day. They are also totally comfortable.
A few years ago I purchased a pair of Koss high quality headphones and was so impressed with their comfort and sound quality that I made the mistake of praising them and probably helped sell many more of the junkie items... As it turned out, they didn't last more than a few months until the plastic pivots and springs began to wear out. When I bought them I also bought replacement cushions because I did so much studio work I was sure they'd wear out. Well the spare cushions never arrived, even after three reminders... and the "lifetime guarantee" turned out to be a laugh because the plastic parts only lasted a few months each time, and there was shipping and handling each time they were replaced, plus the down time.
Eventually I replaced the plastic parts with shaped coathanger wire and they began to last longer without help, but of course the cushions DID wear out and I'd be darned if I'd pay for them again! They still work, but they've been in a drawer for a year, too ugly to think about using.
I don't want to make that mistake again, though the Fostex set is much better sounding and "looks" to be much more rugged. Time will tell. But as for sound quality, it is far better than my hearing allows me to detect faults. Comfort is excellent, though I think someone with larger ears than me or someone who's ears stuck out a little more would find them small and tight. For me they're perfect.... no complaints whatever so far.
