Feature:
I like the design and I like the dettachable cord because... the cord is SO BAD, I just have like 5 days Using my M-audio Studiophile Q40 and the cord is damaged now, I can listen just in the left side because the right side doesn't sound... Don't get me wrong, If I move the cord I can listen the right side, the right side of the headphones isn't damaged... I just wanna tell the cord isn't good, you MUST replace that crappy cord and buy another one if you wanna buy those headphones, Is just a insignificant think don't worry man! Those Headphones ROCKS! but the cord is really Low Quality

Quality:
Well.. I don't like that material around the earpad, is too delicate, I don't know if I'm so rude but that... artificial leather is too soft and is a little broken, Everything is perfect but the earpads, Too delicate and if you are a lil' though like me you can mess up this precious headphones :( I didn't damaged it at all, is just has lil' scars on the earpads but nothing several

Value:
Those headphones must cost like 500 bucks at least, the sound is awesome! remember... the cord SUX, you must to replace it... And I've tried with LOTS of headphones, more expensive and more complex than my headphones but M-audio is the best choice, you don't need to pay too much if you can make a smart buy! Is better a smart buy than a painful price for something that doesn't sound like must sound ;)

Desirability:
I want it, I buy it, I love it!

Sound:
Sound Quality is great, I mean, I never heard anything like that before, my old Sony mdr v700 Headphones wasn't accurate at all, the sound was colored and the levels were really different in my monitors, I bought these headphones and yes, sounds like if you were listening to studio monitors! but u must to have a good audio interface if you wanna prove it, with your pci integrated soundcard you will not appreciate this precious product

Ease of Use:
Yeah! The bag is cool, u can save your headphones here, is too comfortable and the earpads doesn't hurt your ears.

Support:
M-audio doesn't supports u if you don't buy in your own country but you can send your damaged article were you bough it and they will support you without complains ;)

Overall:
You need a good headphones to make music when your neighbours are sleeping but you think that isn't the same with monitors? Buy those and you will change your mind ;)

zZounds has verified that this customer bought this product from us.
Feature:
It looks beautiful and professional. I like the attachable chord. What i don't like is it's performance in the studio.

Quality:
For the money it's the worst headset I've ever used in my studio. I have an old extixt KossTD80, which for some reason I never threw out and never use. I'd rather use it.

Value:
Not for studio use. Perhaps in other situations like lying around listening to music it might be great.

Desirability:
I feel in love at first glance, but...I have a headache, I'm not in the mood, goodnight, in fact we're breaking up.

Sound:
In the studio it's a real problem when running effects into two tracks. It divids the sound to an unrealistic degree of hearing. For exaple: it splits the delay so bad it sounds like two full tracks out of sync from each other (which digital recording equipment can do from time to time). I kept restarting my system then I listen to it in other head phones and everything was cool. If it doesn't mix down that way then I shouldn't have yo hear it that way. Try keeping time to something like that. Terrible!!

Ease of Use:
For recording it's terrible and it lacks power. I had to increase the volume on my headphone rack about 60%.

Support:
Never dealt with them.

Overall:
I'm going to tack advantage for the first time with Zzounds on their 30 day trial and exchange it. I buy a lot from Zzounds. They are Great a 10 all the way. This the first time I've run into being not pleased with a product. This Headphone gives a good PR about itself and I thought it would be killer instead it's dead at the gate.
