I am amazed how badly another reviewer has rated this product. Last month (May 2006) I had a chance to review a number of headphones at a store in Hungary. I listened to a number of Sennheisers, AKG and other brands for a good 30 minutes. The Sennheiser HD 465 gave me the best price for quality comparison. There was one or two more expensive Sennheisers at the store, but I did not appreciate the difference in sound quality. Coming back to the US I looked at my Amazon account and found this headphone to be a good 20 to 25 dollars cheaper than it was overseas (no surprise there). I ordered it and has arrived. I can tell that this headphone is extremely well balanced for sound image, the base is not overwhelming at all how the other reviewer was claiming and it is very comfortable to wear. Overall it gives a pleasurable listening experience unlike many other headphones I had listened to. I also have a Sennheiser HD-202 which is a low end model and owned a KOSS many years ago. I was looking for not an overly expensive model that can satisfy me and I can tell without hesitation that this headphone does just that.

I just got these a couple of days ago. Since there were no reviews available, I decided to offer up quick first impressions:

Construction
light enough weight and solid (if plasticy) construction
very comfortable fit so far. Should be easy to enjoy long listening sessions.
the cable enters one side only and is detachable from the base of the headphone. cable is 10ft but can't be shortened w/o buying a separate shorter replacement cable.

Sound
At first, I thought these sounded very bass heavy. I should say most of my portable listening has been done on basic sony earbuds that may have been lacking altogether in any bass.
I have been burning the headphones in with a variety of CDs and either I'm getting more used to the sound or the bass is being tamed (if possible). so my reaction has certainly warmed progressively since first putting them on
overall, the sound is immersive, and definitely makes you want to shut out what's going on around you and just listen to the music. this for me means the potential is there for an even better soundstage and listening experience after i get a bunch more hours of play time though the phones. (only at about 40 or so now.)

I'll update this in a couple of weeks

Yes - these produce very VERY low lows. However, I have found the mids and highs to be adequate.

There was one review that spoke about what you are looking for primarily - I believe that applies a great deal here. I do agree that they are indeed very good in terms of bass and also I find that the mids and highs to be good as well.

If you have the option to listen to them before you buy - do that and utilize various genres while you are listening.

If you are NOT bass person or one who can appreciate or at the very least handle bass - then don't go for them. Other than that - GET THEM!
