I am very impressed with the flat sound of these headphones. They are perfect for recording and mixing. I was required to get them for my school, (I'm a recording major,) and they are amazing for how cheap they are. The long cable is very convenient in recording situations. They are very comfortable too!

I bought these headphones a year and a half ago, and they're still working great! I've been very pleased with the quality and with how comfortable they are. I've brought the headphones on many trips, and I use them almost every day on my computer, and they're still working great! I would recommend these to anyone who needed a good pair of headphones at a good price!

I've had these a couple of years and they are still going strong. I'm in the process of finding some replacement ear pad covers. These are getting a little worn, but i use them daily so it's probably inevitable. As for the sound these are very good, especially for vocals, (which is the main thing I use them for when doing first mixes ).Know that they are vocal friendly. I don't use them for mixdown, but for everything else they're great. Got mine in a bundle with the AT 20/20 microphone which is a very nice mic. Look for the bundle @ $99.00, a steal.
Pros Studio, long cord tension spring at plug and a handy spo
Cons leather on ear pads gets worn after extensive use.
