Agreed. I was living in California for the past 4 months and picked up these for $99 bucks on Amazon. Came the next day. My friend bought some expensive $300+ noise canceling Bose ones. I think placebo effect made them sound marginally better than my already awesome headphones. After about a month, i listened to his again and there was distortion or some lack of clarity in the sound. To this day, my Sony MDR-7506 Professionals have served me very very well. Crisp, true sound.
