During my time with these cans, I've listened to my entire collection of music, played hundreds of hours of games, and sat with them on for durations of over 8 hours in the heat & cold

Headphones are especially challenging to review. Because a headphone's frequency response depends on the ear canals of the listener, and each person's ear canals are different, a pair of headphones will sound somewhat -- or even substantially -- different to each person.

Headphones are to speakers as motorcycles are to automobiles. Not as generally useful, sure, but significantly better in some respects. And a whole lot cheaper for a given level of performance.
