![Syncwire Headphone Extension Cable - 6FT [Hi-Fi Sound][Gold Plated Jack][TRS] Nylon-Braided 3.5mm Male to Female Audio Extens](https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/81DdeRFQeoL._AC_UL116_SR116,116_.jpg)
Wow... I have a set of Bose BT headphones (OE Soundlink) which are comfortable and a really good bluetooth headphone, but man when I want to listen to music for real these Sony MDR-1A's are amazing. Music sounds crisp, clear, and just so full. The bass is perfect (not overpowering like beats and not underwhelming like some Bose sets). You will not regret buying this for music! Just as a note I use ALAC to rip my CD's and I also have Spotify (so convenient) and these headphones will really show off the difference between ALAC and Spotify's collection. Spotify's music sounds good with these headphones, but ALAC is like a treat to the ears!
I'm very picky with headphones with regard to comfort. I've returned headphones that were too tight or too loose. These are so comfortable. I feel like I could wear this set all day. I usually go for on-ear (these are over-ear- not labeled correctly) but they are so comfortable!
Also, the silver and leather brown are very striking and it makes the headphones look even more expensive. I got my set for about $200 and with one day shipping. I would absolutely recommend these for anyone in the market.
UPDATE: 1/28/17
I still have these and love them. I use them with a dragonfly red hooked up to my iPhone and my laptop. In my basement I have a pair of Sennheiser 700s that I use with an AVR. The Senns were originally marked for $1000 and the Sony's for $200. What I can tell you is that the Sony's are more "fun". More bass, more energy, but the Senn's are much more accurate and when paired with a really nice amp/dac sound better than the Sony's, but you have to pay a lot more for the right amp/dac (think at least $700 for a decent headphone amp/dac), whereas with the Sony's I can just use the dragonfly red (or not - still sounds great) and it still sounds awesome. Definitely worth the money and paired with Tidal Hi-Fi or Lossless music ripped from CD's you won't be disappointed.
