Absolutely spectacular

These headphones are studio-reference and very true to the mix. I recently jumped from Sony XB950AP Extra Bass headphones and as any serious music producer would tell you, any headphone with enhancements such as "extra bass" are detrimental to your mix.

Comparing the two is like night and day; I listened to a mix without these and then put them on; the playback was nearly identical, unlike any consumer-based products, which give an entirely different sound than what's coming from your monitors.

Great for easy listening, terrible for mixing!

I used to mix out of these and wondered why all of my mixes suffered on the low end; for three years, I ruined my sound with these! I have no one to blame for my ignorance.

These are ported with bass boost, and anyone who does some serious studio work knows that any monitors with excess boosts are geared towards consumers and not producers; these will pretty much ruin any mix.

However, for easy listening, these are quite powerful for their small size and can easily fill the room at half volume before the sound is distorted.
