These Headies are awesome. this coming from a Grado man. I needed a pair of over-ear headies for working the Soundboard at Church. Truly spent 8 months researching. In that time I learned a lot...for instance, don't waste your money on Beats (tm). At half the price; Audio Technica far and away a better headphone. That is unless you like the feeling of your eardrums under intence Bass compression then waste $400. You want a solid music listening experience or hi-quality O.E. soundboard headphone for under $100, or you want to spend $400....at least buy quality equipment. The construction is pretty solid. I'd like to see a heavier gauge wire between the 'skull-strap and the earpiece. I was stunned, for the price; These O.E. Phones are nearly a 34;noise cancellation34;. Over the weekend I watched the Live stream of the Masters. My daughter and her friends were killing me with all the silliness...Plugged in the A-T headphones...Man, I could hear the birds chirps, clearly hear the back and forth between the player and caddie, and I bought these for Sound Engineering. Comes with a case...very handy. 6' cable, this is where I feel the lower end phones, you get what you pay for. I'm a cord maintenance nut. I can not stand twisted cords. the cable on these phones wants to twist in the worst way. 3.5 mini is nice...though it didn't seat well in the headphone jack on my tablet, it still worked fine. though the slightest tug, you'd lose connection, I blame the tablet more than the mini. The 6.3 (1/434;) adapter is threaded. Keep an eye on it...if you remove it from the 3.5 mini. put the 6.3 in the case. Actually, it would be nice if A-T offered an extra and a storage pocket in the case. P.S. I know I'll take shots for Beats 'Bots'. Listen up. Before I bought the A-Ts. I borrow a pair of Beats from a friend. I plugged them into our soundboard. you can NOT use them on a board (Allen Heathe 3300) your eardrums just compress. you'll spend time twisting off the EQ, gain and anything else, which affect the house sound. In turn...he's tried my A-Ts. He did his best to debate it...but, realized the superior sound for an $80 pair of Audio-Technica Headphones... If you want to buy Beats (tm), more power to you. You want a High-Quality listening experience...for 1/4 the price, then check out Audio-Technica. You can spend $400 there too. I cant imagine how good A-T $4 hundy Headies sound
