Neodymium magnets and patented Duofol diaphragms deliver excellent sound reproduction

Audio-Technica ATH-M50 Professional Studio Monitor Headphones with Coiled Cable

Burn in definitely changes the sound. Other owners have suggested 40 hours of cooking. The headphones sound more distinct, clear, and the instruments have better separation. Even the bass is more lively and the soundstage is more expanded. All said, don't judge yet until you've pumped tunes through them for many hours. Customer Review by Karlton D.

Sennheiser HD 558 Headphones

I enjoyed these headphones very much. They enriched the entire audio spectrum (especially the bass), and also brought some lesser-heard tones to the surface. They made movies sharper and music clearer. If you're looking for superior sound to enjoy on your home theater or sound system, these are definitely worth it.

STREET by 50 Cent Wired Over-Ear Headphones - Black by SMS Audio

Great phones, only knocking a star off because the active noise cancellation of the Beats better fits my own preferences. Despite that, I find superior audio reproduction here so at home, these will likely be my go-to headphones. Would absolutely recommend these to others (with the limitations above), particularly those who wanted bass-focused dual-purpose phones but were put off by the 'muddiness' of the Beats.

I was worried that, due to their open air, on the ear design that they would get uncomfortable after wearing them for a few hours. I was proven wrong. They have never become uncomfortable.
