I was impressed with these headphones for a few reasons. Yamaha purchased the right to use Ultrasone's S Logic technology in their headphones, and upon first listening through them, I was actually quite surprised how good they sound, especially at their price point. First, I was actually surprised at the clarity and depth of the low end response in these. They sound tight, and fairly articulate, again as compared to other models at this price point. Second, I like the design, they are comfortable, and attractive. My only large concern with these would be that I could see them becoming very fatiguing over any sort of extended periods of use. Even after listening to a few different songs of different genres, I seemed to feel fatigue had already begun to set in. Anyways, I hope this helps in your decision. All the best...Let me know if you have any other questions.

Cheers.

Well, it might have been a dead thread, but I wanted to share my two cents. I found very limited information on these prior to purchasing.

I am going to second the fatigue issue. After only a few songs, maybe as soon as 10 or 15 minutes, you will feel like you have NS-10s surgically implanted in your brain. I've sat behind NS10s for 10-15 minutes, and had no issues. These... Prepare to throw up, and in rapid order.

They sound great, but maybe best used for final mixing.

I would never even consider trying to use them for every-day monitoring!
