Price Paid:  $170.00 from AV Electronics Malay

Summary:
Good Buy for those that are looking for a well tonal balance. Great bass and superb clearity. Comparing with my previous KOSS KTX Pro, that is nothin near this one. I plug it to my computer powered by Sound Blaster Live! DE and it sound great. Only sometimes it sounded too bright. altough it is below RM 200, but for this price you dont get this kind of sound from other brands that i have known.

Strengths:
great bass and tonal balance. superb hights

Weaknesses:
sometimes too biting. kind of hurt a little of my ear tip, may due to too many hours of listening

Summary:
These phones are so melifluous that they sound like having a small pair of speakers attached to the sides of the head, that is to say, they sound so un-headphone like! Forget the idea of listener fatigue. The last thing they are is shrill, overanalytical. I use them on CD, TV, anything in fact.They may not be the last word in sound detail, but my word they are not tiring and the headband is most compfortable. Also the ears do not get overly hot.

Summary:
I purchased these after my open-air Grado SR60's proved completely ineffective when faced with any sort of outside noise (traffic, subway, etc.). For the price, these sealed cans provide a beautiful, intoxicating sound. Unortunately the sound was not as present as I would have liked. If you want a set of cans for your CD player - these are the best under $100. Small, sealed (trust me, if you're anywhere in the city or by a highway, you'll want sealed), light and great-sounding, the DT-231's should be in every audiophile's repetoire. But if you're looking for a home-use set of headphones, there are better choices for the price.

Strengths:
Very comfortable, much like the Sennheiser models. Much less bulky and light than anything else as comfortable. Sweet tone.

Weaknesses:
Milky sound does not lend itself to any sort of critical listening
