One of the best headphones I've ever heard, actually.

There must have been something wrong with the ones I tried then.

Just gonna throw it into the ring, the Audio-Technica M50. Sound amazing.

Edit: This guy on youtube did a comparison between the M50s and The Custom Ones thought it might be worth a look.

Some people don't like the Sennheiser sound, some people don't like the Beyerdynamic sound, some people don't like M50's. Whuddya gonna do.
