I've been on the fence with these headphones for a while now...any owners care to give some input?
IIRC, they're the most popular pair of cans under $200 among audiophiles.
I wouldn't say under $200 because there are far better pairs for that price. For the price of $100 they're pretty solid. Now there are more budget headphones being released that can compete with them.
They are popular enough to be one of the most popular headphones under $200 among audiophiles.
Note he didn't say the "best". It's all subjective anyway.
I've heard these briefly and liked the sound for a closed headphone, but I still prefer my old AD900s
