I like this from one of the amazon.com reviews...
 
[size=small]Pro's[/size][size=small][/size]
[size=small]The sound is very good, clean and neutral. The pressure is so light you forget these are headphones making noise.[/size][size=small][/size]
[size=small]The headphones are comfortable to wear, I managed 8 hours with no irritation.[/size][size=small][/size]
[size=small]The lead is long enough to reach the tv without issue.[/size][size=small][/size]
[size=small]Low drive means they are loud on your ipod.[/size][size=small][/size]
[size=small]The cable is quite thick to give good protection.[/size][size=small][/size]
[size=small]Although they are open backed the bleed is low in both directions. (much lower than HD555's for example.)[/size][size=small][/size]
[size=small]The Bass is neutral and tight but use of bass equalizer on ipod showed there was plenty there is you wanted it and it does not get soggy[/size][size=small][/size]
Your children will not steal them![size=small][/size]
[size=small][/size]
[size=small]Con's[/size][size=small][/size]
[size=small]The head phones are big. You can't miss em. The frame is huge and the earpads are large.[/size][size=small][/size]
[size=small]You can't jog in them the pressure is very light.[/size][size=small][/size]
Your children will laugh at you.


I modded mine to have a removable cable because of how large the stock cable is.

But yeah, portability is debatable. They drive well, but the stock cable was intended for home use.

The main thing is that they're unbeatable at their price range. You also won't find anything with better quality, separation, or imaging until you start really shelling out the money.

Update on the CKS77X.  Bass has tightened up and the midrange and treble has zero fatigue already.  Midrange and Treble is fantastic.  Stage is still super deep.  Bass is still monstrous though but I love it for some reason.  I think these make the XB90EX, FXZ200 and any other bass phone I've heard recently not as bassy.  These are the true subwoofers with some mid-bass to boot.  Fun as hell to listen to bass driven tunes.  Instrument separation gets a bit hidden by the bass but still manages quite well for such a crazy bass earphone.  These things are insane.
