I share your enthusiasm. I've seen them going for around $100.00 lately, a tremendous bargain. i've had my pair for around four years now and they are still as comfortable and great sounding as they day i bought them.

They cost around 339 dollars here. It's insane. I bought them for 119 on Best Buy, and imported. Paid around 199 dollars after delivery and taxes. It's much more expensive than in US, but much more cheap than here.

After four years, all the leather remains without damage?

Everything still has miles to go. The headband shows no signs of wear and the pads are intact and quite comfortable. I've got a number of headphones I keep for different reasons, so I've not used these as often as I would if they were my only pair. Nonetheless, I've spent thousands of hours with them. These sound especially great when listening to a cd through my yamaha receiver or through my little fiio k5 headphone amp. They really sing with well-mastered music, like anything by Frank Sinatra or Pink Floyd. My son swears they're the best gaming headphones he's ever used.

They also sound great wired to my fiio btr5 streaming flacs through my phone.

The detachable cable and replaceable earpads make this one a bargain for the audiophile on a budget (in the usa, at least.)

Nice to hear that! I'm planning to keep with this one for years now. I really enjoyed listening Pink Floyd on them too. Same for gaming. I don't know if I can back to a closed-back in the future.

This particular model is known to go on sale constantly, Im pretty sure the ~300 msrp is just to make it look like a better deal when its on sale. I bought mine for $93.

Yes, you are right. But not for here. More than 330 dollars on sale! It's much more than that :/
