Have considered long but once heard, I do not want to give him! Just a great sound - but no exaggerated peak clear highs, no sibilance, very good fundamental range and if needed extremely powerful bass - all tested without being influenced by the sound source (direct circuit or directly on the CD player). A real pleasure, even after hours. The comfort is simply outstanding, have to compare tried and Sennheiser models, for me, however, was the decision quickly fixed (also because of my personal to "shrill" heights) - relatively light, velvety respect of vollumschließenden pinna, selbstverstellendes headband - as noted you (almost) nothing. I can every music enthusiast would recommend it highly - it is easily worth the money!
