From what I recall, these usually sell for around 120 to 160 depending on what store/website you buy them at. The same website also has other versions for higher prices. eBay has other versions for around 105-110, but I tend to be a little bit more wary of eBay.

Solid headphones, good (but not unheard of) price.

You can do a lot of fun stuff with these.

Price is 'fair.' It has been lower on amazon multiple times but that difference is pretty negligible.

Nice hps for the price.

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 have these headphones. I'm not an audiophile, but they definitely provide high quality sound!

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

Just wondering, what new budget headphones are you referring to? (Might pick some up for my brother as a gift when I leave next year.)
