Phiaton MS 400 (Second-Generation)

Powerful yet balanced sound ; Very comfortable ; Great sensitivity ; Classy new black color schema

Difficult to pack into storage case ; Midrange may be a little laid back for some listeners

Phiaton’s second-generation MS 400 headphones retain the signature sound quality of the originals while folding in user suggestions to make subtle design improvements.

Great sound, junk build

Well, these look good and sound great - forward musical and work well with iPods. But mine broke at the plastic hinge through normal handling. The pads are held on by flimsy plastic lugs that snap off. Got fixed through warranty but déjà vu - and then...
