They are very comfortable, and they seem like they are good quality but they are somewhat pricey. My hands are so tiny the bar was slipping when deadlifting over 100 lbs. At 2 in the morning last Oct I was trudging around on the side of a dirt hill when I hit a wet spot and slid side-ways and barely tore the outer right side. Everything in this review will be based on price, Ease of shipment, usability, and practicality. All joking aside, if youve never listened to a set of these no articulation will prepare you for the audio experience. Another thing a lot of ppl don?t know but monster made the first Dre beats before Apple took it over. First the Pros:* Ive used them to listen to music, podcasts, and even video games - all delivered good audible sound. The HD600s soundstage is more intimate; theres less space between left and right channels, but its not a huge difference, and I could see people preferring (or at least not minding) the HD600s tighter spacing. Very cute though. In fact, I even sheared one of the two mounting screws in half.
