These are SUPER headphones and I recommend them wholeheartedly. I will explain....
Ever since I became involved in Hi-Res sound and using headphones - my apartment doesn't allow for loud music! - I have been trying to find a second pair of cans to complement my first pair of quality headphones, Audio Technica ATH-50X's which I also find to be SUPER headphones. The only slight drawback with the AT's is they can be a little bit bight in the upper midrange and tops, especially noticeable on vocals. I still have my 50X's and use them for mixdowns (I dabble in sound-recording).....
So, back to the Sony's, what I really like about them is that the sound quality - especially in the Bass - is close to the AT's but the mids and highs are definitely smoother and both male and female vocals are superb - I use an Astell and Kern SR15 as my player - which is also superb, the best player I'v ever had (and I've had a few!!) - and is also highly recommended.
I know both these headphones do not have a "ruler flat" response but to me that's not what music is about, with the exception of Classical music. My favourite bands are Genesis and Pink Floyd plus a wide range of Americana, Blues and Rock music and none of these types of music are "ruler flat", they have exaggerated response curves and if you go to live gigs you'll know there is a "presence" there that you do not get from a studio recording (and I'm a retired sound engineer so I know the difference in sound between a Double (string) bass, and amplified electric bass and a cello) and most flat-response cans do not convey the sound of these Bass instruments or a band anything like a pair of "voiced" cans, both these Sony's and the AT's convey the live concert sound very well. The Sony's are perhaps very slightly cleaner in the bass than the AT's but still have that characteristic "live" sound feel to them.
If you're tempted to buy, go for it - I've tried Shures, Sennheisers (once my favourite cans) , other Sonys, Grados (superb but uncomfortable) and many others...all good but - to me - not musically satisfying and at the price these Sonys are excellent.
Oh yes, comfort, very comfortable for long listening periods, very lightweight and initially, out of the box, seem a little bit flimsy - compared to with the M50x's - but definitely comfortable.
I have just received a 2.5mm TRRS to 4mm TRRS adapter to allow me to connect the Sony's to my SR15 balanced output - the Sonys come with 2 cables, one an unbalanced one and another balanced one with a 4mm plug at the end and I can confirm that going to balanced is definitely a noticeable and substantial move forward in terms of sound-staging, vocals and overall sound quality- very worthwhile doing.
I hope the foregoing was of interest to you, buy with confidence, I don't think you'll be disappointed. above all, enjoy the music!!
