Yes, they are bright; but that depend too of the source utilized and amp.
They are bright but not so strident in the treble as the grados SR325i.
They are bright but have a lot of sparkle that make a lot of sounds in that frecuency to sound lifelike. Have you forget the sing of the birds, the splash of water, the glass breaking/crassing, the sound of the metals (swords hitting with another...; the sound of the chains when they are movement), etc. All of they sound lifelike. The mids too (not as much as the highs), and the bass is the best (Deep, textured, detailed, extended, strongh, tight), together with the highs (very extended, detailed, with much sparkle), is of a great quality.
(For sonq)
For the price that i pay for them of $245 (including shipping ) + cost of importation to my country. I don't think that they are overrared or overpriced (can be if they now are more expensive than that.), compared with another $400-$45000 (not price list...) headphones, that really aren't...

Listen DT990 '05 if you want to hear a headphone that really is bright. Grados wont even touch that in treble sharpness.
