HD 572 : Amazing value headphones

What a surprise! I purchased these to keep in my gig box, to use to check on recordings from my Zoom H1. They had to be decent quality, foldable and cheap. Well, they are foldable, they're certainly cheap, but the quality is superb. I was absolutely amazed at how clear and accurate they are. You could spend a load more money on 'phones and not get anything much better than these. They're nicely padded, sturdy, have a fairly lengthy chord and even come with a little nylon bag to keep them in. My only criticism is that they are a ittle tight, although I do have a large head (or so I've been told!) I'm hoping that this eases with a bit of wear, but it's hardly a huge issue. We've all had cheapo headphones that sound like angry wasps in your ears, but these are nicely detailed with a good (but not overloud) bass response. I'm impressed.
