It's lacking low frequency impacts/extensions from the reviews I read. It has crisp mids to highs. The sound quality factor is going to vary by a great extend by which music type you listen to. However, when comes to comfort level, this one scores to be one of the most comfortable full-sized headphones on the list for its circum-aural design. Some suggested that it's not worth paying $150LP or $180SP version for the overall satisfaction you get back. The open/close swich doesn't differ much in terms of its sound issolation, but while closed some pointed out a "warmer" bass is presented. Unless you really like its design as it's the successor to the Eggos from many years ago, the price you'd have to pay for it may opens you with many other great alternatives. I personally really like Audio-Technica for its overall quality/satisfaction |

This is a worthy headphone to discuss, and may be available under $100 which would make it a nice portable value, IMO. Terry |
