What can I say its headphones...lol

Quality:
No problems I can see but I don't intend on abusing them so they seem fine for my use...

Value:
In this price range I dont think you could do better except maybe some Grado's but I needed closed back not open...

Sound:
Well, I just bought these a few days ago and ill just say WOW!! After using consumer grade phones for a while these are definately an upgrade. Remember these take a few days to Break In...at 1st I was a little disappointed but after a few days of playing different types of music at about half volume and sometimes at 75% these phones have really began to sound freakin awesome. I mean really good...I gave them a 9 on sound because im sure there is something out there that sonds better but for me whooaaaa....I couldnt imagine it...Great job Sennheiser!!!

Ease of Use:
plug it in and go....

Support:
Havent had to use them

Feature:
These fold up into a compact size unlike my HD 520

Quality:
Seem rugged and well made

Value:
For the price I would buy again without a doubt

Desirability:
They look great feel great and the sound is out of this world!

Sound:
Unbelievable, the best sounding cans I have used.

Ease of Use:
screw on 1/4" adapter, comfortable and light weight

Support:
not used

Overall:
I won't need any other cans this is it!

Feature:
Screw on 1/4" adapter... coiled cable... well, that could be a pro or a con, I personally like it, but you may need an extension cable.

Quality:
I've been pretty rough, they still work fine.

Value:
Not the best headphones you can buy, but the best for less than $150 or so, by far!

Desirability:
I am going to buy 3 more pair of these soon.

Sound:
For $100 bucks you are not going to get a better sound pair of closed back cans. I've been using these for years for recordings (great isolation!) and mixing (very true un-colored sound).

Ease of Use:
It doesn't even matter (in regard to feel) if you put them on backwards, so when recording you can put them on which ever way makes the cord out of the way, good for when your playing an instrument with these on.

Support:
Never used them, so I guess that is the best I could ask for.

Overall:
I'm done... they are great, buy them! haha

Meh, they're headphones, I don't need them to do much.

Quality:
I've had this set for 2 years, no problems.

Value:
Best SPL for the money.

Sound:
This is what the used for musicians tracking in the studio I went to school at. Not for mixing, but defiantely the best SPL and clarity for the money.

Ease of Use:
Plug in, put on head, if you can't do that you shouldn't be on the internet.

Support:

Value:
BEST VALUE POSSIBLE!!!

They just look like professional headphones!!! And they are!

Sound:
Great set of headphones for recording vocals or whatever!!! NO BLEED!! at a nice comfortable level.

A Caveman can do it!!!

Feature:
Screw on jack is aces. Would have been nice to have a bag.

Quality:
Adjusters cracked on my first pair. They've since been redesigned to be tougher. No probs with my second set.

Value:
The best $100 cans on the market, period.

Desirability:
See above.

Sound:
Slightly bassy, but still superb for $100 cans.

Ease of Use:
They're headphones. Is anything easier to use?

Support:
No idea about service. Never needed it.

Overall:
The best.

Feature:
Nice little gold screw on 1/4" jack, which is pretty standard with most decent cans. A bag would have been nice though!

Quality:
Solid. Those Irish know their stuff, and while these are pretty chunky looking, they are also really chunky feeling - they won't break in a hurry.

Value:
Get these cheap online and you won't regret it!

Desirability:
Let's face it - not cool at all. A small price to pay, as you probably shouln't be trying to pick up with headphones on anyway!

Sound:
Very nice clear sound - it does have that closed headphone feel, but once I got used to it and its slight bassiness I started to notice all these details in the music I wasn't hearing through my speakers. Awesome isolation from outside noise - great for studio or just home use. They'll play good through your ipod or whatever thanks to the 64 ohm resistance.

Ease of Use:
yup

Feature:
Awesome isolation. If you have a loud noisy computer like I do and you're trying to compose something, these headphones will transport you to a total quiet and relaxing atmosphere. This is new to me and quite frankly, I don't know how I ever lived without it.

Quality:
It looks sturdy but so far so good. I haven't dropped them yet though and according to the other reviews I'm a little taken back. I've owned AKG phones in the past and I'm hoping these will out last them.

Value:
Excellent value in my opinion. I bought these for $99.00 and would have definitely paid $150.00 for them.

Desirability:
For headphones I really don't care what they look like but I must say, these phones aren't the sexiest but who cares.. They sound awesome and are really comfortable.

Sound:
Excellent and I tested over 20 different pairs in it's price range and it was hands down the best sounding headphones. I'm an avid AKG fan and buying these was not an easy choice. I wanted something different with plenty of BASS and great highs -- these delivered the goods. The other reviews mention Sony -- but quite frankly I found these to totally crush any Sony phone in it's price range.

Ease of Use:
Can't get any easier to deal with.

Support:
Warranty is 2 years. Not too shab.

Overall:
Too bad there isn't a 9.5 vote. I expect to have these headphones for many years to come until they totally fall apart on me. It's the only reason I really went looking for new ones.

Feature:
No features to talk about.

Quality:
These things are built quite tough, although my first pair (which I rarely used) stopped working in one earpiece for no reason. See support area for resolution.

Value:
Great phones for the money.

Desirability:
I got them!

Sound:
High quality sound, but not quite accurate in the midrange. It has the dished out mids that a lot of people seem to like.

Ease of Use:
Put them on your head. Done.

Support:
When one earpiece stopped working for no apparent reason, I contacted support via e-mail. They told me to send the phones to them and they would fix them under warranty. A couple weeks later I received a box back from them with a brand NEW pair of headphones. I noticed the cord was beefier and think they sent the new ones because the older ones were flawed.

Overall:
All in all, good for listening to music, but not making any real EQ adjustments with.

Quality:
very well built,they have held up (the earcups leather) better than my sonys.

Value:
these are worth 5 times than what they cost. other earphones exaggerate the highs and lows - these are terrific for true critical listening. I tried the Beyer's- they're good sounding but exaggerate the sound,along with the Sony headphones.

Sound:
these are undoubtedly one of the best earphones for recording. they reproduce a true flat sound which track studio monitors quite accurately. the only thing I can see is the bass reproduction in these phones is "slightly"ess than you'll hear when comparing them to speakers. the highs and middle are right on.

Feature:
A coiled cord makes it short while being able to strech far, but can get tangled up in itself. Big ear cups with good isolation from outside noise.

Quality:
I'm someone who breaks a lot of headphones. I often play outdoors in a windy desert with little protection, and I get pretty into it when I'm on stage. Usually, no headphones last more than 6 months. These lasted a year and 3 months. 2 months after I had them, 1/4 glass of rum & coke spilled directly into an ear cup. To this day, that ear cup sounds as good as the other. The leather around ear padding started peeling off the foam at 11 months, and the headband snapped at 15. The wire stayed intact. As durable as these are, they are still very light.

Value:
There is nothing that even compares at this price. You'd have to pay at least another $50.

Desirability:
These do not look sexy. Their strength is in function, not form.

Sound:
There are better sounding headphones for audiophiles, but these are the best sounding DJ headphones I've used. The treble stands out because it's bright, not just loud. The bass is heavy. I spin Drum and Bass + Hip Hop
