I'm allowed to listen to my music on the job, as long as I can hear if someone is trying to get my attention. This forces me into a choice of one speaker, or phones that don't cover the ears. I use a headphone amplifier, and wedge cardboard in the tops of the earpieces, thereby making them 'orbit' near my ears. Even in this position, they deliver crisp, deep, and rich sound. And just as importantly, they easily handle the boost of power that they receive from the amp. If I wear them around my neck, at full volume, they can be heard from 20 feet away, just as if they were a small pair of speakers. This is a good thing, because as others have mentioned, unless you're some kind of a freak, these things are going to be too big to fit your normal sized head. I am a serious, budget minded audiophile, so I compared them to a $300 pair of Beats. It was about a tie... so there you go!

As an audiophile, I can honestly say that these are absolutely incredible. The deep end really is there but not overloaded. The sound is amazing. At 139.00, they're worth 3 times as much.

I am not an audiophile, but out of all of the sub $20 headphone I have owned in my life, these are by far the best. They are even comparably to headphones I've owned that cost around $50-100. When you consider the price, this product is undoubtedly worthy of 5 stars.

Delivery was fast. The provider included some foam tips which felt and sounded better than the standard rubber tips. I am happy with this purchase after owning these for a very short time. I will update if they fail -- but 5 stars for now.

I throughly enjoy these headphones. I power them with a hifi ef2a amp and there absolutely wonderful seriously if you're looking at dropping 300 dollars on headphones then there isn't anything better I managed to buy mine off of audiogon for 219 so you might look there for a better price and more hifi options its also a great place to find an amp the only thing negative I can say about these headphones is that there very uncomfortable for any listening periods that extend over a half hour they also can tend to be a little bright but after about a week of having them you will get used to them they leek like nobody's business so if you're on a subway headed to work everyday these aren't the headphones but for at home enjoyment with some extra ear pads these are a truly wonderful item I promise you won't regret this purchase!

made a video recently if anyone is trying to decide whether or not to buy these headphones, took me about 4 days to get them in from amazon. Shipping was on point so were the headphones.
Premium sound for 25$ brand new *please note, this price was temporary and i took advantage of it and i do not regret it* haha

Goood headphones, premium sound, rich bass, 95% noise cancelation and they work even without the battery!

I would say the original price of $999 is probably a bit of a stretch on my wallet for these cans, but I would probably say that about ANY headphones. I bought these from a local dealer for right around $700 and I could not be happier with them.

The sound quality is phenomenal and the BASS is the best I have ever heard from a set of headphones. If you like bass, there is no doubt you will absolutely love these cans. All that being said, the bass is not overpowering at all, in fact the entire spectrum of sound is warm and completely audible. If you like hip hop, trance/electronica, rock, or any kind of music with punch, these are the headphones for you. I cannot really speak on jazz and classical, but I have read many reviews suggesting that these cans are a bit to bassy for those particular genres.

Now for the "but". These are NOT the headphones you would want to plug directly into an Ipod. If that was your plan, don't waste your money. For that, you can buy a set of Denon AHD1001 for a fifth of the price. Denon D7000s don't come with a 1/8 inch converter plug, so that should tell you something right off the bat. These are reference headphones with a VERY revealing sound, so anyone planning on listening to only 128kbps music in your Itunes library, and plugging directly into the headphone jack on your dell, probably don't want to spend the money. So what does all that mean? Basically if you feed these headphones garbage, that is what you will get. These cans should also be driven properly by a decent headphone amp, otherwise you won't even come close to hearing their full potential. So unless you have a nice dedicated headphone amp, sound card, DAC (digital to analog converter), or any combination of the these, you might be happier spending a third of the price on a set of Denon D2000s, which are also a pretty nice set of headphones. That being said, they are worth their weight in gold if you have the right equipment.

P.S. I have a Macbook Pro, and I run an Apogee Duet DAC/headphone amp.&nbsp;<a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/Apogee-Duet-2-channel-FireWire-Audio-Interface/dp/B000XANK90/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">Apogee Duet 2-channel FireWire Audio Interface</a>&nbsp;This is a relatively inexpensive DAC/amp combo with a 1/4 inch headphone jack. There is better stuff out there, but for the price, you probably won't find a better sounding DAC/headphone amp solution. I would recommend this to any mac user planning on purchasing these cans.

If you are an audiophile, go ahead and skip my review because I want to speak to the regular joes and jills of the world here.  Are you listening?  Good.  These ear phones are fantastic but, if you are like me, it's hard to part with this much cash just for headphones.  Let me tell you how I ended up with these.

I am a late 30's father of two who loves music, but can never find the time to be alone and listen.  I had been wanting a "good" pair of over the ear headphones for a while to listen to at night when the kids go to sleep.  I'd listened to every pair of earphones in a 50 mile radius trying to find something that sounded great for a decent price.  I kept coming back to Sennheiser as a balance of cost and price, plus a few of the music people I know here outside of Nashville, highly recommended the company.

In a nutshell, I wanted as much quality as I could afford, hadn't bought a pair of "can" headphones since my Sony's back in college, loved the idea of noise canceling (two kids, right? + snoring wife), but there was no way to justify dropping this much money on a budget.  Well, I happened upon these headphones at Target of all places - sorry Amazon - after Christmas.  Someone had ordered them from Target online and they had been returned unopened and reduced for clearance since this was an online only item and not a regularly stocked piece of merchandise.  Even for $249, I had to think about these long and hard, but ultimately I swallowed hard and bought them.

I have not been disappointed.  Best thing I can say to counter some of the noise canceling complaints I read here is that I can lie in bed next to a wife that snores with the best of them and NOT HEAR HER when the music is on.  Sure, I can hear her in between songs, but not while the music is playing.  I have never been able to say that with any pair of earphones, ear buds, ear plugs, etc.  And the sound quality is AMAZING.  I'm not an audiophile, but most of my music sounds great on these earphones.  Sounds more layered, especially if you are listening to the original source (vinyl or CD) and not a mp3 from the internet.  In fact, these are so good that when I played a song that I have in FLAC format (something I could never really see the difference in while using earbuds), I was blown away.

In short, if you can work these in the budget, go for it.  They are lightweight, look and sound great, fold up well for travel, and are comfortable.  Noise canceling is great in my book, especially at the price.  If you can get these on a sale - even better.

Wow. Just. Wow. I cannot believe people are wasting their money on other headphones such as beats or ANY other brands. These were recommended to me and I must say I am blown away by the price-quality difference. I am surely getting Audio-Technica's exclusively now. Amazing experience simply from opening the box, to listening to my first song on these. My Eyes watered, I could not help it. I am not sure what came over me, I think the audio experience was just so overwhelming . I truly hope they keep this amazing quality up for years to come because I am sold from here on.

These headphones are amazing,but like someone said,you need a headphone amp to really get that crushing bass,and great mids and highs.am hearing things in my music that i have never heard before.i bought the headphones with a E11 headphone amp,and the sound is just amazing!!

If you check any headphone-specific web site, you will find that these headphones are regularly rated as the best available over-ear headphones for under $200. They excel in every area. The sound, the construction, and the comfort are all best-in-class. The white model was just recently introduced. You may have to worry about them getting dirty more than the black model, but they are also much more stylish!

I think that these headphones do improve with burn-in. No special procedures are required. Just use them for a little while. They sound good straight out of the box, but they will sound even better after a little use.

These headphones can be easily driven with just an iPod or an .mp3 player and they will sound great. However, driving them with a headphone amplifier just takes them to another level and makes them sound even better. I'm using a FiiO E17 DAC/amp between my computer and these headphones, and it is a fantastic combination. I could not be more pleased with the sound for the money invested in these two items.

Don't hesitate to purchase these headphones even if you don't have an amplifier, but pair them with one for even more sonic bliss!

I also added some additional pictures of these headphones at the top of the page.

I personally think it's insane to sell these at this price. These headphones should cost at the level of "best on the market"! How can they do it, it's amazing. Thank you!

These things are awesome! And for ~6$ they are even more awesome!

Very nice headphones, definitely at the apex of diminishing returns compared to other "high end" headphones. These really do silence the world around you, many times my wife has stood in the doorway yelling my name and I can't hear a thing ...love 'em!!! Sound reproduction is clean, and neutral, great for music They are good for gaming because they are immersive, but a set that could reproduce 5.1, or 7.1 audio would be better since you don't really get the directional audio with these. All in all though for the price they are a great step up from many similarly priced units. I scored mine for $25 at a pawnshop, but even at the regular price they are a good deal.

I was on the fence between these and a $150 pair of THX certfied speakers.  I just use my Bose headphones most of the time (and have a 24 bit Soundblaster Audigy 2 processor).  So I said, eh...  These look nice and should be decent.

Wow, they really sound great.  Especially at the price they were at.  Excellent.

I'll make it short and sweet. I didn't think this headphone amp would make that much a difference. I went out on a limb and WOW was I wrong. Why spend $300 on some headphone when you aren't powering them? This little thing PUMPS these headphones. In my case, the Beyer Dynamics DT 770 Pro's in 80 oms. Known for their deep and tight bass, these things are on another level.

Enough of my rant.

BUY THIS!

OMG I love these headphones. Honestly, I've never spent more than 10 dollars for headphones before, but these are blowing my mind!

Im no sound engineer nor a pedophile. I mean audiophile. I don't know how to tell if these headphones are fake or not but they sound amazing. I'm willing to say they are not. I own a skullcandy pair and that is as far as I had  gone in spending on headphones. They were around $50 dollars or so and they were bad in quality and most likely in sound, I don't remember what they sounded like, they ended up breaking and stopped working from one side, the cable had to be moved around and held at a certain position, and they were coming apart.  These however feel like the complete opposite so I feel great about my purchase. They just feel like the complete opposite to the pair I own. To me the features are priceless. Or rather $100. You get the point though. They are comfortable as well. They are headphones so I'm not complaining on the clamping. It doesn't feel that bad , they feel nice on. The amp seems legit as well and it works great. The Mic I haven't tried. Just incase you get the bundle with the mic, you need a jack splitter for it . Just advising so you remember to get one along with the bundle so you save on shipping. You won't regret your purchase. I promise. Music sounds heavenly. The shipping was faster than estimated so that was a huge plus. Order now!
