I bought these to use as a replacement pair in a home studio for some expensive headphones that died. Since then I've used them as monitors in a studio, as monitors in a drum cage, and more often than not, I use them on my computer to listen to music and play games. They are very comfortable, and sound great! I really like these much more than any of the more expensive sets I've had. I wish I had just been buying these all the time, I could have saved a lot of money. Plus, I've always been disappointed in the short lifespan of expensive headphones (regardless of brand). These seem like they are actually built to last, much more than any other pair I've owned. I also really like the coiled cord. The coil starts about 18" down, which is perfect imo because you don't want the coil next to your face. It really helps avoid tangles, and keeps just enough tension in the line to keep it from catching on everything like headphone cords usually do. Which of course, should help lengthen the lifespan of the set.
