They're pretty good for just plugging into a soundcard, but if you are willing to invest in an amp then you can get the Senn 580 for not too much more or a Grado sr-80 for a little less. I enjoy listening to those phones more.


I agree - they definitely are sibilant at times. Though, properly amped, they become much less sibilant, and the bass tightens up.
