Thoughts? I have read some really interesting reviews on these. Apparently, the FR is pretty flat. I would personally change that with an EQ. What attracts me to these cans is that I've read they have an amazing sound stage, great instrument seperation and great detail.

I have the K271's which are basically the same headphone, and I can say the soundstage is pretty unimpressive. Not that it's bad, it's pretty good for a closed headphone, but it doesn't totally wow me.
 
Detail is definitely great though, and gets even better upon amping. Overall it has a very pleasant sound, though I think most people would find it boring, since bass... Nope.
 
It actually sounds like I'm ragging on these, but I really do love them. They do just about every genre well, but they particularly excel in acoustic music.

I'd say it has a bit more depth, though the Ultrasones have a generally bigger soundstage. I'm not very good at describing soundstage, but my closest description would be like... The Ultrasones sound like they have a bigger driver. Bigger front-to-back soundstage, whereas the K271's sound like the driver is further from the ear.. If you can imagine what that would sound like...
 
Man, I'm no good at this. Hah.
