new pro/con: Good bass response, and balanced all around. No need for equalizers.
new pro/con: Nice, long cord (good for home, not that good for portable music players).
new pro/con: Velour ear and over-the-head pads are very comfortable.
new pro/con: Needs power (i.e. an amplifier). They don't sound as good on portable music players.

agreed: "Fantastic audio clarity."
tapped as "have it"

"These are pretty good headphones. They have a nice, balanced sound. Compared to the HD 515s, they are warmer and less tinny. The clarity is good all round, with both bass and treble notes clear. I've got some comments to make, though. One is that these need to be powered by an amplifier. They sound tinny and bass-less on computers with bad sound cards, and portable music players. I would not listen to these with my iPod Touch, I'm sticking to earbuds. Also, you need to have good quality recordings. If you have low bitrate recordings, you'll really notice it. Listen from CD, or get some lossless or high bitrate recordings. Finally, they sit a little tight on my head. However, they are still very comfortable. The velour pads don't itch at all. 4 out of 5."
