A very informative review. Thanks for the effort of writing it down!
I agree with your comments on the SQ: they give full-size cans a run for their money. I actually prefer these to my DT 990's with 90% of my music!
Fantastic little cans imo!

Thanks...

Very good review taken with a different approach and analysis. Great Job! I also agree that that they sound like a full-size headphone specially while amped with a nice Tube amplifier.

I happen to be one of those folks with long, wavy/curly hair... and I will have this on monday. yikes!

You pretty much read my mind...

Thanks for the comments guys. :-D
And good luck with the hair--I've found that combing all of your hair straight back and to the sides, keeping it behind your ears or pulling it into a pony tail helps--so keep that in mind if you look good that way, or if you're listening to them somewhere where no one can find you to make fun of you...

I would not change my hairstyle to suit a pair of portable headphones . Very nice review!

Excercise the headband some - this will reduce the pressure quite a lot.

These have been out for awhile now, I wonder if Beyerdynamic has made any running changes to address the concerns you detailed ... ?

I believe there have been minor updates to the headphones since their release--however, it's also pretty much an acknowledged fact at this point that Beyerdynamic is having quality control issues with the DT1350s--if you buy one, you never really know which flavor you're going to get. I've updated my review to include this information.
