Input:
Stellar sound quality.  Full, tight lows that punch when they should, and stay boom-free when they shouldn't.  Warm mids.  Bright, clean high without sounding tinny.  I purchased these at a brick and mortar in 2010 (it is May 2016 today).  They are just starting to crap out.  The sound is still spectacular, but they don't take the volume they once could.  Bass at high volumes is starting to distort.  I am OK with this - for the shear hours of use these got over the last 6 years at $100, they have paid for themselves and I will consider replacing them with another Sony set.

2 complaints.  One - after 3 years the "pleather" coating on the ear cushions started to flake off.  After 4 years, the cushions became unusable, and I replaced them with the cushions of a junk set of Turtle Beach gaming 'phones my son tossed out.  See photo.  Two - some complain of the weak wires at the driver cups failing.  If you are not careful, the pivot will pinch the wires on both sides where the head band "yoke" meets the driver cups.  See photo.  I have been careful over the years, and the wires have survived, but I do think it is a design flaw.  I will definitely look for this flaw when choosing my next set.

These have driven classic rock, metal, jazz and swing over the years, in both a listening chair, behind a drum kit, and even on stage.  Once again, in my mind 6 years for $100 is definitely fair considering the hours these babies have logged.
