Excellent headphones for music lovers 2012

I'll first start by saying I've owned these headphones for a year and a half now, so I can give a fair assessment of long term quality as well as the broken-in sound of these headphones. These headphones do well with all sorts of compression rates of music (128 kbps MP3 all the way up to FLAC lossless). I've heard some other "monitor" headphones can make highly compressed music sound terrible due to excessive revealing, but these headphones are the "little black dress" and soft-toned lighting to make everything sound great.

Audio Quality:

As far as I care, these headphones are as close to perfection as possible. Originally I was planning on buying these and eventually buying $300 headphones, but I honestly seen no point except to maybe get a bit better earcups. On the whole the soundstage and clarity and accuracy of musical reproduction from these headphones couldn't be better. I've been able to close my eyes and "follow" the music through it's progression in a three dimensional way that I've never experienced before. You'll hear drums off to the side with vocals 45 degrees in front of that. Instrumentals are layered so beautifully that you'll get shivers being able to pick them all out. Amazing.

*Note - These headphones do require a period of burn-in before they will sound great. When I tried these headphones for the first time the bass was very weak and everything sounded off. I was expecting this, so I left them to play various "burn-in" material such as pink noise, white noise, blue noise, drums, and music for a few hours until everything got settled in.

-Bass is extremely well represented and tight to the point it sounds like miniature sub-woofers have been fitted in these 'phones. On the same subject, these headphones don't fake the bass like Sony headphones do to make everything sound arbitrarily boomy. These headphones have such excellent reverberation that the bass needs no extra enhancements. However, this means the headphones have to make a good seal around your ears or the bass dies quickly.
