These are some prety good cans.
Pros: The sound stage/imaging is prety good on these, way better than anything (similarly priced) closed back.
They are prety comftorable. They are very light weight and the strap distributes what little weight they have very well on your head.
For $50 the sound is really clear and crisp with prety good seperation. They have a flat sounding frequency response. They are definitely studio monitors.
Cons: I feel its almost ridiculous to make a cons list for something with such a great value but here it is any way.
The pads are a little too hard for my taste and they can get a little warm sometimes. I'm prety sensitive to heat on headphones though so take this with a grain of salt. Also since they have a lose clamp they can move around.
They are somewhat lacking when it comes to sub bass but that doesn't really bother me. The bass is clear its just not intense.
The sound isn't as clear compared to much more expensive cans (is this really a con).
Side note: The wire is very long. You decide if this is a pro or a con for you.
Are these headphones worth it? For 50 bucks? Yeah! I'd even pay 100 for these.

slotmechthanks for the suggestion. Ill keep this in mind if I want to customize it in the future. The ear pad replacement might be nice. Are they memory foam?

Jeff-DDoesn't feel like it. They are covered in a black colored soft velvet material; might just be a regular foam under it. The headphones don't have enough clamping force to make the new pads uncomfortable for me. YMMV, GL if you decide to try them; I got mine on Amazon.
