Got my headphones, and just put them on. Started playing the video you posted Jellofund.    AMAZING.   These sound awesome! $150 well spent. Very good first impression. Lets see how it does with my music.

Ah, I thought I mentioned this but I guess not. Closed for sure.   For music, I posted classic rock and 70-80s rock currently, and then for other genres, lots of alternative rock, dubstep at times. Sometimes I'll listen to some folk metal. Euro house and EDM. Honestly, it can be all over the...
