My all time favourite headphones

Ive used the Sennheiser HD 215 until they fell on the floor and broke :/ And then temporarily I've used the Skullcandy Hesh (blame the way they look) (I used them only for casual listening, At that time i used to use my monitor speakers to produce music) and then I bought the Beats Pro by Dr Dre (Very Bad for monitoring in my opinion) and then i bought these and i was very pleased by the way they sound, they can be also used for casual listening and they also look great!
