@gray i like them because removable cables and they are 12-hour comfy. i found the AKGs are maybe 4-6 hour comfy. while the IEMs are maybe 30 minutes comfy :blobcatree: 

never had grado or audiotechnica. people keep recommending grado, though the assclowns soldered the cable and glued the case. 

 @Q.U.I.N.N. i like the sound of my grados but they aren't comfortable for long periods

the beyerdynamics are amazingly comfortable
