Wow! In a sea of choices for high quality headphones at this price-point, the MP1's are in a class unto their own. They are great cans,well made....solid. Big yet comfortable. They sound so good, as in flat yet very responsive.

Beautifully conceived and work well for "studio"type use and for audiophile listening.The only reason I gave them a "2" is because one of the "grille cloths" is waded up, but they still work well.

These headphones are one of the best investments I have made in my music production. It is definitely the best investment I have made this year and I have spent A LOT of money this year on some great gear. I was already in the middle of a mix when these arrived.

Fantastic sound in stereo mode. I found the other modes to very useful for mixing. Great product!

Big cans, well made. Very comfortable, with a true, honest flat response. I use them with an Audient ID14. Between the excellent stereo mode and optional center/mono mix mode within the ID14, and then the MP1's multi-mode mix capabilities, I can get my mixes 90% there before switching to a set of 5"...

OMGAWWWD, these new MP-1's aren't even broken in yet & S (Stereo mode) sounds LOVELY to me. They're equal to/if not better & clearer than my old, trusty - 10k bumped - Limited Edition Silver - ATH M50s ;-)~ that broke last month ;-(~....

For the record, I have burned in these headphones upwards of 100 hours, so their potential should be fulfilled. This headphone has a nice soundstage. As a closed-back, it's not really 3D, but there is more space than from my previous headphones (Lyx Pro Has-10).

Finally, the headphones you can really trust and mix with. Sounds really good and flat! Love the Mono mode I can switch to easily. Thanks Avantone and Sweetwater!

I have a great monitor system at my studio that I am very comfortable with, and that is easy to mix on (thanks Mike Harris for all the great recommendations). I was looking for a great pair of headphones to edit and do preliminary mixing on at home on my laptop without keeping everyone in the house...
