First the price. I paid 39 with free shipping from Nova Musik off ebay.
Comfort:- Been said before - strong clamping force. The pads are large but I wish there was a little more room inside for my largish ears. Out of the box not real comfortable but wearable.
The sound is impressive though. Using exponential tone sweeps and sinegen they aren't perfect for me but they are more balanced after 2k than my hd595's with fewer and less extreme dips and peaks. They have the typical headphone scoop in the 4k region and are maybe a little strong around 2-3k with a pretty good jump around 5k.There is a little dip at around 500hz but the low end stays even and strong until around 30. Over all I really like them and find them very balanced. Nice balance between kick and bass guitar. I don't hear any strange low or mid resonance like I did with the the rp-htf600. I usually mod everything I get but I just might leave these as they are. Wow. I can't believe I just typed that...
I am not sure but they may not be much at revealing bad mastering compression. Or maybe I should say they may be good at making everything sound pretty good. Elvis Costello's A man out of time, which is horribly compressed sounds better than it should. I can hear it pumping and breathing all over the place with the Sennheisers. Of couse I have only had them for a few hours and need to learn them more. Anyway just rambling now.
