These were my first pair of "full size" headphones. Even so, these are not around their ear, but over the ear headphones. The pads can be replaced as usual with sennheiser, and are extremely comfortable, although they are not nearly as cool and soft as the 500's series. They are open back but they don't leak much sound which is impressive. They have a 32 Ohm impedance, but are not very efficient; they benefit A LOT with an amp. This helps a lot, specially with the highs which are recessed but are way better after burn-in. Mids are sweet and full too.
The included cable is HUGE, but thick and has volume control which is a very nice touch. Sennheiser includes a soft carrying pouch as well as a 6.35 mm adaptor.
