Bought these a few weeks ago and, after settling in with the black felt pads, just really enjoy listening to them. They're not the most dynamic but I don't find them to be all that far off of the Elegia in that regard and the sound is just so effortless overall; I really find them mose similar than not to the Elegia, and give them the nod for comfort and durability. They sound great flat but even better with a bit of EQ like Amir describes here.
Rap, rock, pop, classical, doesn't matter - I'm enjoying it all. Excellent addition to the headphone stable, with these for isolated clarity, LCD-2 closed for bassy goodness, HE-500 for mid-tastic rocking out, and HE6se V2 for quieter, more detailed listening.
