I just got these for Father's day from the wife and daughter. I think across the board, these are my favorites yet, stealing that honor from my Hifiman Edition S. They seem to do everything right, per my limited time in this hobby. Up to this point I was trying to understand what my sound preferences are (kinda still am), but these tick all the boxes for me. Comfort is top notch, not too loose or snug, and the pads are amazing. I would never be even remotely embarrassed to where these in public. They look great. As for the sound, my subjective opinion is that they sound super clear (little grain if any), very balanced with perhaps a slightly elevated low end. They handle guitar distortion well, the treble has some sparkle to it, and the mids are yummy. When I close my eyes I can picture myself sitting relatively close to the stage at an outdoor concert. They do my favorite genre (rock) quite well imo. There was one final can in contention, but I chose these over the 1 more triple driver over ear, and have no regrets. I'm sure there are plenty of better cans out there, but I haven't allowed myself to exceed 200 dollars yet. For that price I think these are likely some of the best closed cans money can buy.
+ additional warranty upto 2020! YAY.. In fact the best warranty service I ever came across for any electronics. They picked up from home via ups without any cost. No sending charges even. This is excellent service. I really would buy more fr them in the future when they are affordable.
