I just got these one month ago and I think that for the money you get a really good headphone. I just left it up to the saleman to choose, and he did just that . Now I'm doing studio recording and mix downs, and I think thats what there best for. I don't think there for just ipod type stuff! No "t" in Mozart I know !

I've had these headphones for a few months now and I have to say that they are simply amazing. I'm not a pro, but I have used various other headphones such as Koss, Bose, and Sony in my mixing and I wanted some better quality headphones. There are so many features on these headphones that I like. First of all, the build quality is excellent. I've played with some Bose headphones that just seem really flimsy and fragile. The Audio Technicas are well made and incredibly comfortable . I can wear them all day without any discomfort. The connector is gold plated and comes with a gold plated 1/4 inch adapter that is threaded for a secure connection. And the super long cable (I think it's 10 ft. long!) can be nuisance, but it comes in handy sometimes. The sound quality is astounding. Every little detail is brought out in these headphones. Even subtle sounds like fingers gliding across frets on the neck of a guitar, the bow scraping across the strings on an upright bass before producing a note, the pronunciation of syllables like "th" or "sh", or sometimes deep bass notes that I could not previously hear. The bass response is very good, producing good bass without any altered, gainy, or fuzzy sound. I enjoy watching movies with them because it brings out the low sounds like thunder. I'm still hearing new noises in songs that I've never heard before. Don't buy the Bose noise canceling headphones. You can get the same quality sound with these headphones for less money. And the are very similar in quality to the ATH M50s but cheaper. I love everything about these headphones, so do yourself a favor and buy a pair.
