I like these headphones. I'll break them down best and worst.Pros:- Long cord which can be helpul at times.- Durable/You can count on Sony.- Great for sound. Good bass and treble.- Great for traveling.Cons:- Long cord which can also be a pain at times.- Somewhat uncomfortable.- (not really a con but a comment) Why do they say studio monitor at the top of the headphones?Pros - 4Cons - 2Pros are 4/6 = 67%4 starsSo, they aren't excellent, but they are good. Worth getting them if you want hi-fi or they look good to you. Though, I think the HD-202 and the UR15C headphones better. If you're really picky about comfort, I get one of the two I just said.P.S. COMFORT TIP-Take off the earform things. They feel fine, but you may want to put something on them afterwards.
