Has some pros: Comfortable headphones 2 overlay options (leatherette / mesh) detachable microphone swivel mechanism of the speakers themselves (you can conveniently hang the headphones around your neck) the absence of any "parrot" like ice-backlight Cons below: Prolonged wearing of headphones still causes some discomfort with the auricles (although I think this is a purely individual structural feature of each individual person) I liked the sound of the electronic piano in these headphones (previous Sennheiser HD 215 headphones, I think)
