"Excellent Sound and Quality"

Sound:

Sound quality on these phones are very close to top notch. I use them to double check my Event studio monitors and for detailed mixing. They are very flat and true sounding and provide a great deal of confidence for me in mixing situations or general listening. Very accurate and trustworthy.

Feature:

These things fold up and hinge in bizarre ways if you want them to. I don't use the feature as I rarely carry them with me. They stay in the studio. The missing feature is they are hardwired 1/4" TRS jack instead of the more common hardwired mini-plug with a 1/4" converter. If you want to plug these into a mini-jack you'll need a converter plug from 1/4 to mini.

Ease of Use:

Easy to use of course but some people may have a problem with the puzzle-like folding hinges.

Quality:

Really top notch quality as you'd expect of AudioTechnica.

Overall:

Really excellent headphones. The sound and quality are the reason to buy these. These are quite comfortable, but I have worn ones more comfortable. Still, these should not be uncomfortable over longer mixing sessions.
