      I use this cans for music hearing, the detail is great, you can indentify each music instrument, the voices sound great! i listen to many Cds of mine finding sound and details i never hearded before!
      The noise isolation works great!!!
      ..a Con? ..perhaps are a little small, tehe earpad i mean, i thought all the ear will be inside the earpad, but not.
