i have always skipped over these marvelous headphones in audio stores, not even bothering to try them on...... why? because most people said basically that they were junk that sounded thinner than an AKG K501 out of a 1mw discman! well, i got news for you, i finally tried them and all i can say is wow, i am VERY impressed, sennheiser smooth mids, with better treble CRASH(i love that!) but not sibilant, and bass to die for, makes HD600´s bass seem sloppy and a puddle of mud. I am still breaking them in but i have tried them through many different sources, and i found that they sound excellent even through my panasonic portable cd player! they are now my headphones for going to the fitnessstudio and for laying down and relaxing. They are the most comfortable headphones i have ever worn and sound better than anyone has ever said they do, at least to my ears. I recommend you give them a try, a low impedance HD600 like headphone, with clearer treble and more controlled bass, and even MORE comfort? too good to be true? no, i don´t think so. Oh and the soundstage seems to me to be not as confined as HD600´s "warp zone soundstage" nor "hollow" (quoting jan meiers hollow comment on the 590s) and these arent even broken in yet. Just goes to show you how much people can lead you into skipping something good on their opinions and likes. I wish i would have found these sooner!
oh well, thanks for reading!
