BH 470 : Easily best for the price

I was surprised, to say the least, when I first plugged these phones in. The material feels very good, even though it's not real leather, it looks luxurious and feels awesome on the skin. Sound is very good. I bought them as a second option for monitoring sound when I need one pair outside of the studio - it easily competes with my more expensive and professional pair of Audiotecnica. And finally, the spiral cord is a must! It's compact but when I need to move from the computer to the recording pit or somewhere else around the place, it stretches well and gives me freedom in space. If you low on budget, but don't want to compromise quality, I absolutely recommend these phones! P.S. The design is very stylish and old school!
