Excellent sound reproduction, meh design I use these headphones primarily at work when I want to hide from the everyday noises of the office. What mostly attracted me to these headphones was their clean sound reproduction, and so far I have not been disappointed. What is disappointing is the all-plastic design, which makes the headphones feel cheap. Most annoying, however, are the padded cups - I don't find the padding sufficient for long term comfort. After a while my ears start to hurt as the top of the inner plastic grill puts pressure on the earlobe. No, my ears are just regular size ;) Putting some rolled fabric/kleenex in the pads will alleviate the problem, if you are looking for a quick solution. Buy them if they go on sale. March 14, 2012
