You just had to mention a pair I was wanting to try out
Go ahead, they are laid back and lush sounding, not too detailed or airy, just a nice relaxed listen. Though they are still nicely balanced, just a little darker than some may like, taking in count my main phones are 880s, you might think these are too dark for me but I do quite like them
. The thing, though, is that I find these really inefficient,to the point that, in the same settings, they sound just slightly louder than the 600ohm Beyers. I really like the looks, but some people just can't stand them. these where my second pair of good headphones, after the SRH440, and I like everything about these better than the 440s. I have since got some m80s, which I prefer sonically to these, so I kind of gave them to my brother, but I had to borrow them for a second and I'm listening to them while I write this, while I prefer the M80s overall, these are far more comfortable,and have better soundstage. I used these as my main phones everyday for around 6 months (august till december) on the bus ride school and back, I live in an extremely hot and humid climate, so the cups did got hot time from time, but isolation and comfort made up for that. A friend got the UE6000 for christmas, and after auditioning them, I wasn't thrilled about them, and think I prefer the Uptown, but that;s just my opinion, UE600s are still fairly good and get a lot of love around here though.
Overall I personally think the Uptowns are great, specially for the -$100 they are going for now. Recommending them kind of brought back my love for them, to the point where I sort of regret giving them to my brother
