I was pleasantly surprised by their comfort, excellent midrange and bass, ease of being driven and the ambience and soundstage. Not the last word in treble and transparency but good. A great all rounder that I got for $76 shipped on Amazon. I've had AKG K701's, 501's, Grado 125's, and Senn 600's. They all had their strengths but I really don't miss the AKG's and Senn's, although I think both the 600's and 701's are better phones. Can't beat the price/performance ratio of the AT's, though. If you buy from Amazon, I think you can return them, if you don't like them. Break in of 50-100 hours is highly recommended and I think, makes a big difference. You might want to give them a try. Who knows, you might like them. BTW, I primarily use them for nighttime listening, in bed, before I fall asleep.
