I have two pairs. Don't expect them to remain accurate if you gig, though. One sharp hit and you will blessed with a permanent diaphram buzz... But, the accuracy is certainly to be heard--the highs are crisp while the low-end can be _felt_

Very comfortable and a clean crisp sound. Ideal for
my home studio. I must have closed type head
phones to do vocals and these are great.
I don't know why you wouldn't love'em. I had
Koss before these...glad they're gone! I tried
as many brands as I could Sony,akg,beyer & others.

Feature:
I like the replacable cables and ear pads If I had a dollar for every pair of headphones I've owned that got ditched because of faulty cables or rotted foam it would have paid for the 265's. Good isolation which, for a number of reasons, is really great for us budget home studio people (and gamers). Don't like mini jack connectors, at all, if they insist on having to have a mini jack then the top should be threaded and screw in to the 1/4" jack like AGK's studio monitor headphones do.

Quality:
Apart from the 1/8 (mini) audio jack the quality seems to matche the price. asthetically they are good looking and except in hot or humid conditions are comfortable for 2 to 4 hours at a time. That siad there are not something I'd take on the road, if they have to travel they get backed in a foam pick & pluck case along with my condenser mics. Not for giging or DJing... I stick to my indistructable 70's Pioneer cans.

Value:
Did exactly what I wanted them for and more (never expected them to be the best gaming headphones I've ever tried but they are!) even with the bass heavy responce on my HiFi and iPod I just gently roll off the bass by about 3Db and they are good to slightly better than OK.

Desirability:
Good closed headphones are a necesity to home project studios so I didn't care about their looks. If you need to say anything then these avoid the Crome and steel industrial design of most of the other "studio" head phones - this is a matter of taste only, but at least with these you can plug them in to a walkman/iPod and wear them on plane/greyhound without looking like you've wearing a german industrial design head clamp ;)

Sound:
Plugged in to pro keyboards like my Kawai & Yamaha digital pianos and synths they spectacularly image the full frequency depth of 88 keys of grand and upright piano, are sweet with the rumble and swirl of a B3 emulator and cope brilliantly with the buzzing, squeeking and popping of techno/industrial special effects that have had cheaper headphones sounding like a wasp stuck in a beer can. When running a bass guitar through a DI box or a miked up acoustic guitar in to a mixer these headphones produce a good to very good sound. Not brought for this but MY OW MY they are sweet computer gaming headphones :) Unfortunatley when plugged in to home audio and my iPod they tend to wash out the sound with overpowering bass frequencies. As I get OK to good sound plugging them directly in to a good CD player headphone jack I cynically put this down to most "HiFi" "cheating" joe public by tweeking the amp's tone to make it more bass heavy.

Support:
Being in the middle of nowere it's the retail that counts for me so can't rate them honestly.

Overall:
Very happy camper, these are keepers. I will buy further up the range next time and will keep these so I can have a guitarist use them to monitor their playing with something at least half decent rather than my budget $80AUD AGK 44's

I'm a producer and recording artist. Have used seven or eight different professional-quality headphones over the years. I've used these cans for about two years now. All around, they're good, but not quite as good as I want (they're probably the second best of the ones I've used). The frequency response is good--sounds flat to my ears, which makes it good for mixing--but lacks a sense of "space" as some of the other high-end headphones I've tested have. Also, they're heavy but physically delicate. I record both in a studio and on location. I also like to mix with the laptop in the coffee shop. Bottom line is the headphones spend a lot of time in my backpack. I've had to replace the cables twice because they've developed shorts through normal wear and tear. And after two years, they feel like they're about ready to fall apart.
