i got my Ti's a few days ago now and my viewpoint is as follows. whilst they give very clear mid ranges and highs compared to standard supplies headfones i feel the "monster bass" is a little over rated, this is not to say my music sounds flat or empty, even with EQ adjusted they still did not give the deep bass i would of liked, however this is compensated by the great mids and highs. one other slight problem i have due to possibly having larger ears is that the domes can get a little tight, hot and uncomfy, this may ahve been to wearing them for a long period of time ( 3 hr's) or as mentioned to having big ears. one other point to note is the noise cancelling these provide. it really is posible just to sit down and chill out without having to listen to the noise of the train or the clacking of keyboards in a net café, real improvement over stock. id give a 4 out 5 five for these. you do get a good price for what your getting, however due to come shortfalls that can really effect your enoyment of your music does come into play. i would reccomend, not to mention how cool they look in bright white and gold, reall classy construction which shifts these from a fairly average to good headfones to being a very good pair but still a long way from perfect.
