comfortable?

Oh yea, Thought the pads were going to be a bit softer, But they feel awesome on your face.

i had the impression that the headband on top would be sort of hard and tight

that velour... mmmm

Naw, Its soft leather like to the touch. And is semi soft, Has some cushion to it.

Best part? I can headbang without them falling offl ike the 700's did loool

+1 ALL THE WAY

And they don't mess up me hair like the weird headrest on the 700's.

Playin some bf3 now to see how well they position.

I would go with Sony Monitor's (MDR-V600): http://amzn.to/N56OqE

I am an audio engineer and I (and the majority of engineers out there) use these due to their accuracy. They produce great, accurate sound and are also affordable to most everyone (usually under $200). To get better, you will be spending a LOT of money as the $150-300 range usually match each other. I have a shure, 2x sennheisers, boss (hate it when it comes to comparison, but it was a gift) and the 2x the sony monitors (one personal, one I travel with for work).

So there be my vote! :)

The only pair that really impressed me enough to say they are better....they were $1400 and requires a $1500 amp to go with it (not reasonable).

shure and 2x senns what models?
