I bought them after a lot of skepticism considering the reviews of the previous model. As far as sound quality and intensity are concerned, they are amazing. As for comfort, I couldn't say the same (although I am personally quite picky and no pair of headphones suit me) but generally they are quite large so they won't be ideal for small heads. Although I think that after 2-3 hours of continuous use they start to become tiring. Overall, a very honest pair of headphones even for demanding users at a normal price for mid-range, on-ear headphones.
