Best value: Correct
I use it for over 2 years. I Senn hd477 and hd215. I chose these headphones after almost 1 hour listening test in stores, with another model which I can not remember the name, was in the price range of 150 to + €. What I like: It is comfortable to wear long, I feel there is better comfort levels, I tired after a while, but good as I do not mix with, he is there mainly to adjust, I do not spend hours with. It is closed but "high" volume we hear a lot anyway. The cable is long enough. I had a bug with the quick connector nozzle 6.35, need to change the nozzle. The sound stops when it is removed, or if you do not put it correctly, I do not think it's terrible matter of taste. On the sound: The bass present but not intrusive, which descends over well (I have a lack of bass on my monitor, so I like to throw an ear on the headphones), the mediums, as was said bottom, are "veiled" or appear smoothed, perhaps a lack of transition to this level. Treble, I find them very beautiful, it feels good ventilation, it does not seem to me too now, just well placed. With my monitoring speakers (resolv 65a), I have a surplus of acute juggled and I like them both for me to notice. Spatialization on, everything seems clear, it intends to place each instrument (Play Trilok Gurtu is a foot!). I like to manage with reverb, it clearly audible. I find it a nice depth. And what is damn good is that we happened to hear through headphones pretty much what we will hear speakers on (it's on the forum eh biensur, my resolv.conf are so light ....). Value for money is not given but it's worth, in any case, without exception, if you want the good stuff should spit. I had € 180 buy in a store, you can probably find it cheaper on the internet, but I really wanted to listen before you buy .... I would do this choice, although there ais a model so tried! I do not give a rating, because I do not feel to do so, it is best to read my opinion.
EDIT 19/04/2010
I discovered him a nice low medium that allows me to make mix much more than just my speakers. I use it more for mixing and mastering, I know it is best to do, but my ears found it better than the Resolv who took to the sacred stroke old ...
