Title: Be careful
Review: First off these are actually 5 star headphones and I just wanted to rate this 1 star to get your attention. Yes, these are definitely "audiophile" grade headphones. I paired them with an Asus Xonar sound card with the on-board headphone amp. Brought me to an entirely new plateau of what music and everything else could sound like. It was really amazing.However it didn't last. To the uninitiated you are not supposed to use headphones like these all-day or other extended periods of time. I had no idea about any of this and it didn't take me but a few weeks to develop tinnitus in one ear immediately (with playing everything at reasonable volumes). Tinnitus is a permanent and irreversible form of hearing loss exhibited as a continual perception of ringing (or some other noise) of the ear. This can be extremely difficult to live with.I imagine most people buying these already know what they're doing, but if you're like me, be extremely careful with these.
