"If you buy nothing else, buy these."

Feature:
The idea to have a switchable cable is ingenious. Never had to replace mine, even though it went through hell (it was all taped up).

Quality:
Made in Austria. Can't beat it. These have lasted me YEARS, and they were still sounding sweet. The leather around the ears had started to crack and flake, but do you know how many hours i've spent with these damn things on my head? about as long as the average american has spent vegitating in front of the tube.

Value:
I bought these so long ago that I forgot what I paid for em... a hundred bucks???? This things are a steal. They will be the best hundred bucks you can spend... if you're some newbie recording enthusiast and deciding whether to blow a hundred bucks on some crappy china mic or these, definitely get these. They will reveal flaws that you will have to learn to deal with and will make your recordings so much better than some stupid cheapo mic. I just wish I could afford the K700 somethings or whatever the brand new ultimate model is (those suckers are $500 but i've heard that listening through them is like hearing the voice of god)

Desirability:
I'm on the verge of crying because I've lost them. i've lost a dear friend, all thanks to my stupidity.

Sound:
These are by far the best headphones that I have ever owned. I've previously tried Audio Technicas and Sonys, and lower quality AKGS, and these make the others look like child's play. They were my most trusted companions as a home recordist... i've spent HOURS and HOURS with these things, mixing and mastering (yes, they are that good. I'd trust them as much as my monitors for checking if a mix is sweet or not). The reason I'm writing this review is because I just broke them... accidentally ripped the cord out of the socket (i wasn't wearing them... it was tangled around my leg). I'm heartbroken.

Ease of Use:
Fatigue? Forget about it. The only way you'll get fatigued with these things is when they bring out all the mistakes in your playing and your mix, and you get frustrated with yourself.

Support:
Never had to deal with 'em. The best support situation should be a product that's so good you never have to find out what kind of music they play when they put you on hold.

Overall:
Treat em nice, kiddos. They deserve it. A true A+ workhorse.

"Don't look elsewhere"

Feature:
I like that they now have a detachable cord. I was constantly worried about running over the cable or pinching it between my chair and desk. It is comforting to know that it can now be more easily replaced.

Quality:
My old pair is over 10 years old and working great.

Value:
You can spend triple on an inferior product. $100 may be a daunting price for a casual user, but it is a bargain to anyone with a keen set of ears.

Desirability:
hey... how sexy can headphones be that cover your ears and make you look like Mickey Mouse?

Sound:
Perfect, uncolored sound. Flat response.

Ease of Use:
Plug in -- put on head -- listen -- simple enough?

Support:
If "N/A" was a voting option I would have selected it. I have not had to contact support because I have never had a problem with the headphones.

Overall:
I always recommend these to my friends that want high quality headphones for recording or listening to music at work. Often they will buy something sexier or less bulky... but they almost always find fault in what they have purchased and buy these in the long run. There is a reason why nearly every picture you see of someone in a professional studio setting is wearing these. They are the industry standard... possibly the best headphones you can buy... CERTAINLY the best for the money.
