Great Headphones

I think I bought these about 2 to 3 years ago. They have been great. I use them pretty much all day every day. Great for music, videos, meetings etc. I can comfortably wear them all day no problem. They look nice too. After about 2 years the leather on the ear cups start to crack and tear. Now the leather is pretty much all gone. I also have a crack in the plastic piece that holds the ear cups on. Overall I'm still very happy with these. I have tried a lot of other headphones and these are by far my favorite.

Great headphones

Bought because needed closed back for more isolation and wanted overear. Great sounding headphones. Balanced sound movies and music. I'm not a bass head though. I have small head size and these fit. Maybe a little pressure on top of head from headband, but only after extended wear. Pads a little warm after awhile. A little price you pay for the style. I think the cord seems a little low quality, but does fit into my phone jack protective case. Volume is fine with phone output alone. Should be on short list for style and quality if in market.

Amazing pair of headphones!

I bought these a month ago and I absolutely love them! They are so detailed and the soundstage on them is truly outstanding. I mainly use these for gaming because they are absolutely perfect for it.
