I mean to make this review as concise and direct as possible, so as to assist those who may be where I once was: relying on tons of good review and videos to determine whether this product will or will not be satisfactory. This purchase has laid me witness, not only to the exceptional quality of the product, but to the services provided by Amazon that I would have rated more than five stars if I had the choice. I use this preamble to simply give credit where it is most notably due. Thank you Amazon.
Build Quality: Like a tank. There are no exposed wires. The padding is well stitched, almost totally hidden. The pads are durable. Adjustment is plastic but very thick and contains graduated notches.
Comfort: You will know that they are there. The clamping force on the pair in the new state is somewhat large. You will feel it holding on to your head, and to some people this may cause some discomfort. The pads are designed to fit quite snugly and the drivers sit closely to your ears. As a result the sound is unimaginably fantastic, but the tight fit, aside from isolating well, can also make the ears aware that they are not the only things chillin' on the side of your head. I find that there is no discomfort and although the fit is tight at first, I have gotten used to it, and once I'm not hanging upside down, I forget that they are there. Over hours of wearing though, I might need to move the arch to a different location on the top of my head. Overall, I would say that its a bit like underwear, it fits snugly, but it moves comfortably with your features.
Sound Quality: There are few words to accurately describe. They make you love that you were ever given the ability to perceive sound. They make you hear things that you would have never thought existed in audio clips. The best way to describe it, is with being close to the large drivers, well isolated, and having one of the largest frequency response ranges I've seen, its like being put in a totally dark room full of stuff. Other pairs of headphones are like flashlights, they allow you to see some stuff at a time. These cans flip the light switch on, and you can see everything in the room all at once.
As a final remark on the product, Audio Technica continues to uphold its excellence in sound and with this pair of headphones. They are built very well, I still have no words except those which were used above to help me help you figure out how good they actually sound. They don't disappear when they're on, but they fit well, and may be tight at first. They are an overall exceptional pair of headphones and I would recommend them to pretty much anyone, except someone who is extremely particular about monitoring and requires very expensive thousand dollar equipment. I would also steer those who would like to spend the least that they can to get something that puts sound into their ears away from this high quality product.
I selected standard shipping from amazon after purchasing within the final week of February. I was told that it was estimated to arrive between the 11th and 18th of March. When it was shipped, it said that it was then estimated to arrive on the 7th of March. It actually arrived on the 5th. Just as a testament to the excellent shipping care provided by Amazon. Finally, when it arrived, it was well sealed. The product was in original packaging, crisp and scratch free, better than I had pictured it, better than on the shelf in a store. Not one flaw.
Thank you for reading and I hope you find what you're looking for. I also hope this has helped.
To Amazon, I appreciate being able to write this review. Hats off to you.

DJ Headphones so they are LOUD, with a tight fit and heavy bass that you FEEL and goes VERY LOW! These have the most bass of any phones we tried. Mids and voicing are more muffled with heavy at 200hz-1Khz. At louder volumes these headphones shine, as they are intended, although they really shine with an EQ; BUT, just too "muffled" for me without EQ.Checkout the picture for a premium headphone detailed review.

Great build, negative reviews on comfort are exaggerated
