I just got them yesterday, trying to burn them in. These sound so superb can't put into words exactly. They don't sound like usual senn headphones, instead they are very refined and forward with narrow soundstage just like the Etymotic er4p, BUT with a lot of punch and some sweet bass. Please someone shake me, I cannot believe these little headphones. I would humbly call it "surprise in a box".
I found them perfect for electronic music and that's what I listen to most of the time. They don't sound aggressive at all(I was afraid they would judging by some reviews), not much congested so like usual closed cans, they are most definitely kind of warm to my ears, I would say better consistently balanced. They do actually sound a bit harsh and somewhat dry with velour I tried yesterday, couldn't stand more than an hour, my brain said it all. But I don't have much of a problem wearing pleather pads, they are alright. I assume that maybe velours are absorbing some of the sound compared to pleather that's why it sounds a bit harsh with them, well, to me they do. On big cans velours are better to absorb some of the sound because they bigger and usually open so that could balance the sound a bit. Just a thought.
A couple of words for quality overall. They are very light and sturdy, solid to look at. They do infact look like headphones a sapper would use.
