I'm avidly against Ultrasone's lower end line. If you're listening to nothing but bass heavy electronic-like genres, they sound quite good, but I feel like for more natural genres they fall apart. I personally greatly preferred the Koss DJ 100 to it for a bass-heavy headphone. That one does require a good seal to get the full bass, but I found it sounded far more natural than the Ultrasones, which sounded weird and artificial to me.
That said, there are some supporters of the Ultrasone at Head-Fi. They do have a nice tight bass.
SQ stands for sound quality.
