Nice headphones

I've had these headphones for 10 years now. They've outlasted nearly every other set of headphones I've owned, with the exception of the MDR-7506. I've mainly used these for casual music listening and DJing. The low end frequency response is a little exaggerated, but still pleasing to my ears.
