I just ordered a pair and I couldn't find much recent comments about the mdr-sa5000. I would like to know what people think of these phones now.
Thanks!
Thanks!

I've probably got well over 100 hours of on-head time with each, other than the HD650, which after burning-in, only got listened to for maybe about 20 or so hours and just sat around gathering dust for a few months before I decided to sell.
