I have these headphones and they're great. I'm not an audiophile by any means (in fact, I tend to be an audiophile-sceptic) but whether its placebo-effect or not, I seek-out these headphones among my various options whenever I want to listen to music.
Even prefer them to my $300 Bose QC2s. Which might not be saying much (the QC2s have freakishly-good noise-canceling on planes, though). But it's still true.
