However, if you like to sit in a quiet room to absorb your favorite music played on a decent piece of equipment, these are seriously perfect

I then connected the new Shure phones to the DacMagic expecting a similar change to the sound via the $75 DAC but was surprised at how much better music sounded than when listening with the Shures and the more-expensive Explorer2

In sum, if you love music, are considering these headphones and are questioning whether the price is worth it, all I can say is, YES

With this type of popular music they appear to be laboring somewhat to reproduce it effectively

In Jazz, and other acoustic instrumental music, the 1840s have a comparable ability to allow each instrument to breathe across a well defined sound stage that is always acoustically liquid and warm

After several weeks of extensive use, I remain impressed with their ability to reproduce music naturally and warmly
