does anybody have any experience with these cans? I've been watching a seller on ebay that has some listed. 300ohms I know back in the day when I was into car stereo they made very nice speakers but I have no experience with their headphones. The price is right if anybody can tell me that they made decent headphones.

as long as it sounds good, who cares?

I had a pair of the QB400s. They were decent, but nothing to write home about. The thick pads were the biggest detriment to the sound. I'm sure you can find better for $110.

There's a set of Senn HD-600s on eBay for less, now...

Not sure what they'll go for, Hasa... but it's worth a bid.

Having listened to both the HD600 is the better sounding option. Another option at about $100 is the Goldring DR150, which to my ears sound better than the HD600. Note there is a pice of plastic that is inside the earcup which if removed improves the sound on the DR150. You can read about this mod in the Rock Grotto forum.
