got these from BowerR64. these are as good as people say they are. i love using these to watch movies..... and i know how i made a thread appreciating the MDR-XD400's, but im using these more than them now...phooey. i love the open + circumaural design. even though they are open they dont leak a huge amount of sound but could still annoy people. when i amped, i feel as if the sound stage is wider. this is also using Catachresis' Synchestra RCA's as IC's. in the song, Warriors part 2, by Lloyd banks, the bullet casings that fall to the ground making the beat actually sound as if they are "down there" and not next to my head. pretty cool and scary kind of. i just need to get some more RCA's to finally use my Pyramid Equalizer.

I could go forever wearing these things. they are so comfortable. not too clamped and not too loose. the cord comming from both cups is kind of annoying because it gets caught on stuff but its tolerable. the cord is also very short. i pulled my stuff off the desk one time when i turned around to get something across the room... something i was used to doing with my Sony's.

the foldable design is used much, i keep it unfolded and hanging from the side of my moniter.

they are a tad more forward than the senns, which is what i needed in the sound. they JUST fit my big head lol. i have the two greatest headphones (well to me). i guess i have an immunity to this upgrade-itus. although i think ive got infected in the portable audio forums.
