I bought this pieces a few weeks ago during a special and for the amount paid (80 usd) they deliver.
Like any open-back headphone they are awesome with soundstage. They are the most comfortable headphones I've ever had. Only real downside is that they are really underpowered by an Iphone. For instance, with my Klipsch S4 with 50% volume my head is about to explode in heavy noisy environments, with the HD239 not even at full volume I get to hear them decently. Even in my room if I'm using the Iphone they sound a bit to low.
Bottom line is they are above average pieces. Perhaps they are not worth the 120usd at which they retail, but if you happen to find them with discount price go get them.
