"there's a reason they're still around after 20 yrs"
Pros: unmatched sound quality for $ (especially bass)
Cons: cord too short
Summary: I got my 1st pair in 1988 with a Sony Discman (which was $300 back then). 20 years later that Discman has been replaced by an 8GB iPod nano which holds 15x as much music (at CD bitrates - more like 50x at typical mp3 rates) is ~1/50th the size, ~1/100th the weight, lasts 2x as long on a charge and cost 1/2 as much.
20 years later I'm STILL listening on PortaPro - 'nuff said!
my only complaint is that the cord's kind of short which isn't a problem with the iPod but I have to use an extension cable to plug into my computer at work. one warning too: to really hear the quality these things are capable of you need to stick to lossless transfers off CDs - aac (iTunes) or low-bit mp3s are like hooking a VCR up to a 1080p HDTV (i.e. garbage in/garbage out) though this will be true of any higher-end headphones.

Came to the site looking for a review of sony headphones but after a few clicks landed on this product's. I live in india and they are not available here but have asked my uncle who'd be visiting next month to bring a pair. Hope it sounds the way you tell it does. Regards.
