One of my keepers. Will try to find and buy more so I can have them later in life. Did that with my guitar picks 28 years ago, now I need to with these.

Sound
For the money, these are the most accurate sounding headphones I know of. I use these in the studio for tracking and mixing. If I am unable to use regular monitors, these seem to be the closest phones I have used to the sound of the monitors. Basically flat with no bass coloration. They do make a pair with enhanced bass, but I would not mix with those.Bang for the buck is great.

Features
Good basic phones. Downside is they do not come with an adapter and are 1/4" out of the box. These are primarily used in pro audio, so I can see why they don't include it, but 5.00 at Radio Shack fixes that issue.

Ease of Use
Easy to use, good long term wear with little fatigue.

Quality
Well put together with quality parts. Should last for a long time.

Value
Well worth the price. I have used phones costing 6 times this and not been happy with the results. For studio and general use these are great. Bear in mind they do not "enhance" the sound, just give you the raw basics of what it sounds like, pretty much to a T.

Manufacturer Support
Have bought other AT products,and used their support for service. Overall great company to deal with in terms of talking read more to real humans, and quick turnaroud time on repairs.

The Wow Factor
No frills, shiny colors or boxes. Just your basic nerdy headphone looking headphones, but they do their job better than any imported sleek, bright pair I have heard yet,
