Very nice.  little dark sounding but I suppose they will open up after a few days of play!
Coming from HD497s which I thought were very good, these are way better.

Glad you like them! Now go listen to lots of music.

I have had the sr80, the sr80i, and the sr225i. The original sr80 with bowls sounds the most alive of the 3. I am not a big fan of Grado's i series upgrade. How come no one talks about the akg240? I adore those.

Oh and the Hd598 are great for Beatles

You need a good soundcard for maximum quality of you could go with any soundcard?
 
How are those on Iphone? Great quality in apple lossless format ?

Dark sounding? You must have been using some very bright headphones previously then... relativity after all.

I think it was more closed in than dark sounding since they had no break in time. They are nor dark sounding, but not bright either. Really a nice balance. Very happy. 
 
Ha I have been listening to Pink Floyd The Wall.. awesome!
Great for ambient music too.
And jazz and blues.
 
oh and I was wearing them backwards for the first couple days... lol

Nice to know that you adjusted to them.
