Equation Headphones RP-21--Anyone using them?

How do you like them? Do they seem accurate (for headphones)?

No one?

These are made for studio use.

I copy pasted this from an other equation audio thread
I bought two of their rp21 tracking headphones. They sound excellent. They could not take the same amount of gain without distorting as my AKG d271, but so my beyerdynamic dt770 pro. They costs 3 times less and if you wear those phones more than 10 secs at the volume they start to distort you could became deaf. They are definitely loud enough. I head two live sessions with them one given to drummer and the other to the guitar player, no complaints whatsoever. RP 21 sounds tight and punchy, it helps musicians play better. The cups could be a little more closed but they give enough isolation. I am planing to buy two more. Great product.

ps I didn't like the extended bass version they sound mushy and lack punch also they are more expensive

I loveeee mine. Have two. one is my 'engineer' headphones that I listen to when I need to listen to my mix on headphones (it replaced the AKG that I use to love (K240's), they showed the deficiencies of my mixes much better than the AKG. And they do not give me ear fatigue. For tracking they replaced my Sony MDR7506's. to me they sound much better and less leakage.
