Noise cancelling like a mofo & droppin the beats as I sit in my cube listening to Electric Wizard. Total fashion statement. The other programmers are super jealous... I can tell. |

I just hope she doesn't break the damn things. My Sony MDR-V6s were 1/3 the price and sound 5 times better, IMO.
But to each their own of course! Glad you like them.

I'd recommend them for sure but I got them as a gift and didn't really shop around. |

If you just want to parade around showing you can afford them, they're fine. |

I'll stick with my AKG cans, thank you very much. |

FWIW, bass-heavy music sounds awesome through them; not just hip hop. |

Hyped bass. Wishy-washy mid presence, and artificial highs.

| | | | Personally I'd rather save $150 and get a nice set of skullcandies. However, if you really like them and they're worth it to you, then more power to you. As long as you aren't missing your rent to afford them then whatever. |
