Laugh at me all you want but these truly deserve a thread.
First off, If you aren't a bass head then hit the back button located at the top of your screen, This deep dark place isn't for you.


I saw these at London Drugs after I got off work and I absolutely could not resist picking them up as I have read a lot about them. Well, I'm completely blown away! I didn't think that a headphone would be able to provide such outstanding and powerful bass with 40mm drivers. Sony proved me wrong.
 
 

These just make anything I've heard sound like kids toys in the bass department, Feel like having two subwoofers on your head? Buy these!
 

 

 

Product Dimensions

Driver Unit: 40mm, Dynamic, closed, dome-type
Magnet Type: Neodymium
Frequency Response: 4-24,000 Hz
Impedence: 40 ohms
Sensitivity (db): 104 dB/mW
Power Handling Capacity 1500 mW
Cord Length 3.9ft flat cord, Y-type

 

They are kind of tight on the head but that helps with isolation and impact, I would have liked to have seen Sony put more effort into the padding though as they feel rather crappy but they still beat the hell out of the s500's stocks

. These have been out for quite some time and I don't think sony actually manufactures them anymore, but they are still available in some stores and online.
