I bought these thinking it was time for an upgrade as I've had my Stealth 500p for almost 3 years with no problems but the material was starting to wear out. I was wrong. Don't get me wrong, these are good headphones, they sound great and all, but here's the problem. The max volume is too low, the superhuman hearing is a trick, it just increases the max volume and the mic picks up A LOT more background noise. My friends at my parties kept complaining about things I could almost hear myself, but the mic picked it up loud and clear. I'm just saying if you're thinking of buying them for the first time or upgrading. Not. Get a pair of 520p stealths, they're way better and cheaper.
