I bought these headphones for Mixing/Mastering purposes as being a night owl, I would certainly annoy neighbors with studio monitors. In overall, I am surprised how detailed and crisp these headphones sound. They are very comfortable to wear for some hours. The only drawback I see is the non-detachable cable as it is the most vulnerable part of the device. Especially beware if you have a cat with cable chewing habits. Other than that, it does the job pretty well, just don't wear them outside if you decide to listen some funny music, they are a bit loud outside being open-ended. They are also useless if you want to record on a microphone if you don't want a naturally occurred delay in your vocals, for these purposes closed-ended ones are recommended
