I have been listening to mine consistently since I got them 4 days ago. I really like them a lot! I didn't like them much until 2 days into listening. I've probably accumulated 25+ hours listening time so far, likely more. I like how they have the right amount of bass for a song. Some songs hit way harder than other in the same exact genre (house, for example). Vocals don't seem up-front, more like a bit behind the high end but they are still clear and enjoyable. At certain volumes, treble tends to pierce ends and hurt, but that's my only complaint. I don't have the uncomfortable issues like hard clamping or sweaty earpads even right out of the box, but i do have a pretty small head and hair covers my ears (with no discernable quality degredation after testing with the hair out of the way). I own the white version, very comfy and soft for me. These are my first pair of cans above $100. I'm happy with them. I prefer a bit more of a bassy response but these are decently satisfactory in that regard. Punchy, tight, controlled, and not muddy. I plan on V Moda M80s or HFI 580 in my next purchase.
