In the course of my never-ending headphone journey, these appeared on my radar a while ago and I finally picked up a pair. The bass adjustment sliders definitely affect the sound; I think I favor the second setting the most at the moment (the linear bass setting). They're a little unfocused and muddy right now, but I've only burned them in for about six hours, so I hope they'll clean up a bit. I will say that vocals sound pretty good; they sound a touch forward in the mix. It's fairly easy to pick out instruments, and the soundstage is excellent. I've owned several different Beyers before, so I'm familiar with their comfort, and these definitely don't disappoint; they might be some of the most comfortable headphones I've worn in a while. Even if their signature doesn't change much in the course of further burn-in, I still might keep them. They bring some freshness to the headphone table.P.S. The cable is only 5 feet long, which kind of bothers me, since I don't do much portable listening. I ordered this cable from Amazon ([...]), hoping it would work, even with the notch for the regular cable, and it does indeed work perfectly. So if you want a replacement cable, that one works very well (if Amazon cuts out the link, the cable is an 8-foot, 3.5mm male to male audio cable with step-down design, made by Mediabridge).   Read Less
