I got the pair, including all OEM hardware and packaging for $848. I bought them at the time Tyll's Inner Fidelity's review (very negative) was making the rounds on audio boards. So, this review may have lead a lot of owners to dump the phones. Glad I took the chance, as the cost of used ones has recently gone up.

I really don't know, but maybe he got a defective set of phones? Though, Sony QA is usually high. Nevertheless, I've had a similar experience as Z-Review. There are no peaks or uneven response, as Tyll reported. In fact, smooth, even response are these headphones forte. They don't shout at you. They don't accentuate the bass or highs. As neutral a tone, as I've heard in any phone. With the Kimber cables, this set's clarity and separation is even better.

Only the size and close-back feature is a drawback, esp on hot days. At least, compared to the Audio Technica AD-2000X --- which are open-back and super lightweight. The AT are the most comfortable headphones I've ever worn. With superb audio.

Anyhow, I included both Tyll's (Inner Fidelity) and Z-Review's YT links.
