The Notebook Review forums were hosted by TechTarget, who shut down them down on January 31, 2022.

    Maybe i'm just frugal, but I would not consider $327 headphones a "good deal".

    Are you doing audio editing, or just want a great set of headphones? If it is the latter, save yourself a few hundred bucks. For general use, a set of $150 phones are going to give you 99.5% of what you need. If you are doing serious audio editing go for it.

    I take it you've well researched those headphones, right? If so, seems like a good deal.

    Actually,

    You can find these for around $250 sometimes on the right forums. Not to mention, they are great phones. Extremely comfortable and sound great.
