I'm on my third pair of these; bought my first pair when I got my first recording studio gig in 1988 and have relied on them ever since. Come to think of it, they're one of the only consistent pieces of playback kit I've owned (gave up the 813s and NS-10s years ago in favor of ADAM Audio, but have not changed out my cans). In short: they work best when powered by something Class A and with balls. I've used them in the vocal booth, monitoring while recording, referencing mixes, and just for casual listening. Very little fatigue after long sessions, and built like a tank. $55 bucks is totally reasonable.
OGsamboneWithout am amp, yes, not so great. But if you add a real headphone amp, they sound wonderful. Better than anything you can buy under $100. You DO(!) need an amp to make them sing though!
For anyone considering: I have had mine for about a year, and these are my daily drivers at work. They are unparalleled in comfort, allow you to hear what's going on around you without leaking too much sound, and have a fantastic soundstage for the price.
You don't need an amp to drive these, although I have noticed an ever so slight difference with one.
