Clarks Desert Treks. They are so comfortable.

What? I found the M50's isolating better than the Uptowns. If I were to carry them outside, I'd pick the M50's almost anyday. They're foldable and that's a huge plus. Especially if you live in an urban sprawl (I live in Hong Kong). It's just pointless to bring my Uptowns around with me unless...

For my ears, it's M50 > Uptowns > 440. 

M50's, D2000's, A900x's, DT770's.    Yeah yeah, the M50's are 'overrated', but they're still good headphones.

I own both. Get the Q701's. Electronic isn't the 598's strongest point. Keep in mind though that the Q701's are a lot more expensive, though.

That happened to me before, too. And then a meteorite fell on the kid, and he died. It was funny.

They're not bad at all. Quite often I'm in the mood to use them over my K701s.    I really don't think it's worth getting an amp with it though. 

About half an inch.

Yeah, I don't find them irritating. There are obvious faults, but they're definitely not irritating. It's not like you'll go "Oh, the mids sound recessed, and it's seriously annoying!" I could go on describing the pitfalls in my 598's, K701's, etc. etc. But for all the cans I still own, none of...

Is the ESW9 worth it?

It doesn't matter how crappy it looks. Start putting them on ads, get celebrity endorsements...People will start liking them.

Saw like five people wearing Beats yesterday on the SAME TRAIN.   Man, it was surreal.

I remember my sophomore year. It sucked.   Have fun!

You kids have more money than I do!

They sound fine to me. I sometimes prefer using them to my HD598s and my K701s. 

Headphones that are "open" would mean that sound leaks out (but you'll generally get a bigger soundstage). "Closed" would mean the sound is kept in, and would probably be better for portable use.    The quality of them being closed/open shouldn't have an effect on comfort.

Yeah, they're kinda supposed to be. Some people really love it, others don't.

But will it blend?

But do they taste good? Last time I chewed on the L1s, and they didn't taste that great to be honest...
