an upgrade worth having
the purpose of this monitors is to tell you the truth and that's exactly what they do, i am using them to "train" my ears to be sharper and more accurate and they are wonderful for that purpose.
in my case is for voice and vocal monitoring and they pick up a WIDE spectrum of sound and deliver it as advertised.
Pros: honesty of sound and good build quality, as well as look good in my opinion,
Cons: price can be an issue , but they are an industry standard .
And as mentioned, comfort is not their strong suit. after about 30-60 mins you feel ear fatigue and have to re-adjust them.
Pro&con: the non detachable curled cable ,is conformable while recording, but in editing after a while you feel the weight of the bulky cable on your left side.
conclusion : BUY! its the best education that your ears can get if you wanna advance your skills .

Good for price
Four years of use and only issues are the earpieces deteriorating and replacements are half the price of new headphones. However, considering the low cost, these headphones have served me very well. Can cause soreness on the ears after many hours which is unfortunate but I suppose I should just go outside more.

Their Popularity is No Surprise!
Sony has never let me down in the audio world.
These are no exception! They're great for mixing and listening to music.
Tight and punchy low end, great clean mids and crispy treble. Balanced, yet not boring at all to listen to
The build quality is good too, even though it may feel a little flimsy, all the little details and the materials are great.
A great option if you also need quality work headphones on the move, since they fold into a very nice and portable compact footprint.
My only complaints are that the cable being a little heavy and the ear cups could be a bit deeper, so my ears wouldn't touch the inside. After a while they get a bit sore, but nothing a little break won't solve.
Also, the ear pads are unfortunately made of that material that flakes over time, which is a bit of a shame... But there's always the option of buying replacement ones made of a better material.
But on the other hand, they're so affordable and sound so good that they're totally worth it.
The less positive aspects are easy to get over, in my opinion.

Good overall headphones
I use this headphones alongside Audio-Technica M50, when working with somebody else and they forgot/don't have their headophones. Compared to M50, they have a bit more clear sound, especially in the mid-high high frequencies. They are not as bass heavy as M50, but I find them more accurate. They leak sound a bit more than M50 and produce less volume on same settings. They can still be used with telephone (those that even have headphone ports :).
The build quality is good, but might not survive rough handling or accidentally pulling on those small cables connected to speakers. With normal, respectful use they should be fine, the ones I have are still in good condition.
I think these are nice headphones, but not my favourite.

Comfortable, good sound without breaking the bank
I got these on the recommendation of a friend who also does home music recording. I find the sound pretty good across all frequencies. Best of all, they are lightweight and super comfortable so you can focus on the sound for hours at at time without getting physically sore ears! They have an odd way of collapsing when you take them off, but that's so they fold down to fit into a neat carry bag (supplied). The 1/4" jack plug unscrews to become a mini-jack, so the phones can be plugged into pretty much any audio output jack.

compact & comfortable/ sticky ear pads
The sound lacks some base and they don't fit very tight, but they are comfortable, foldable and compact which makes them my preferred headphones to carry around. After a certain time the ear pads will start to crackle, but hold on and after even a longer while the black coating of the ear pads will disappear entirely and you'll be left with soft comfortable ear pads.
Make sure you wash your ears though when they start loosing their black coating or look for better replacement pads that don't have the black coating.

It is a classic.
It is a classic almost every studio has. Its design and comfort shows its age.
Since it is classic, it doesn't have new features like detachable cable, or better pads or headband.
Its clarity and sound is already proven by so many people. I think there should be redesign without loosing its sound signature.

Good for vocal recordings
I found this headphone is good for vocal recording, vocals go upfront naturally. Its more midrangy to me. Feels good and old school, like it..
