25 years a good choice
I really like these headphones, they are light, but still have a decent grip on your head. The bass is powerfull, but doesn't distort the high freq. to much (unlike some other DJ headphones) The bass is ofcourse not perfect, but that's never the case with on ears... Overall a decent pair of cans, there is a reason they make this model for more then 25 years now
