Great looking, Great build quality, Excellent sound, Long cords provided
Cord is proprietary, Soundstage is lacking
You can easily see why these headphones are rated so highly. The sound, the looks, and the build quality all combine to make an awesome package. Oh, and they're under $200 dollars too...
