I have these headphones for two weeks now and i'm very satisfied with them. They have very natural and clear sound with pretty good details and treble emphasis like all beyers but have pretty forward mids and decent bass but they are lacking some warmth. They are bright sounding headphones, so they are slightly "aggresive" due their treble emphasis, so they don't sound good with genres like jazz ... However they sound great with rock, metal, classical, acoustic, even an electronica sounds pretty good on these. Soundstage is more deep then wide and imaging is pretty decent. The comfort is the weakest point they apply high pressure so that can get uncomfortable. Overall these are some good sounding headphones especially when you like metal like i do.
