I find em very comfortable. at least as of yet. My ears fit just in. The earcups are very comfortable.
I thought that the cal! will be much more plasticy and fragile but actually it feels pretty solid and well built. Also the cable is not as this as everyone inclined. Most reviews are from 2008. Maybe they changed it since ?
As for the sound. They sound COMPLETELY different from my sound blaster tactic360 sigma. completely. This is my first set of real not gaming headphones. I am not sure what to think of it. I am not an audiophile wanable and have no idea how to describe their sound. But it seems warm and very balanced at the same time. spacing seems about right and somehow it manages to sound fluorishly and detailed at the same time.
Wonder how it will be on xonar dg when it will come !

A little thread highjack.
Some time ago I bought beyerdynamic dt770 80Ω headphones, mostly due to how tanky they looked (broke a lot of headphones, since I move a lot).
Never really cared that much about the audio quality until I plugged them in my friend's DJ station recently.
So my question is, are there any worthwhile audio cards (amplifiers? ) around 50€ which could improve my PC audio experience?

"very nice as for external sound card"... External will be always best for pure sound quality (tho there arent lots of good ones out there, most are USB dacs or so which arent cheap). U7 looks pretty nice tho, atleast its priced nicely.

So bump... i think I need new headphones.. I have xonar dg and CAL! ... and even tho the cal sound great, I am not listening to it too often because it hurts... headband is very hard and not comfortable at all. Watching a movie like hobbit2, I had to take 3 breaks because my head hurts on top.
So now I am agan looking for somethin in 100range (or lower). Don't know if I want external dac/sound card or am I staying with my xonar dg. I think I am good with it tho, so I am mainly looking for new headphones.
I want something with comfort on 1st place and durability or detachable cable but thats hard to find so not a must. It can be either headphone or headset, I don't care as I would not use a microphone anyway so I would detach it.
I am looking for something with warmish signature, rather bassy but also as much clear as possible in mids, highs... but not to harsh. As I like fun headphones to listen to soundtracks and play games, watch movies etc. so all arounders with emphasis on fun
As for now, I just started looking and again, the first recommendation from Breezer came back to my mind. sony mdr-xb700. The price is good and opinions are ok to but very varied.
The new sony wireless stereo 2.0/gold headset also looks promising. can be used on cable or wireless, people say its comfortable but again, sq is debatable... but at least this set is versitale and can be used with consoles, wired or wireless as well as pc.
Was considering a CAL2! but it have the same drivers and same bad hard headband as my current cal so a big no. and the price sucks for it being the same headphone.
edit: philips uptown looks fucking fantastic and well build. the cable seems to suck tho and its a 3 part jack.,, wonder if it would work on my pc

How can people use velour pads... they get very dirty and covered with dust and skin quickly.
beyond those, these look lovely

Those senns look ok I just don't like velour pads. had one once and was cleaning them all the time.
So for my headphones replacement i decided to stay with CAL! It is indeed fantastic sounding headphone for the price and I would have to spend 4xtimes as much to have something that sounds the same or only a little bit better(if not only different). Cal! sounds warm, bassy and clear in mids, highs just as i want so I don't think there is a reason to change it... actually now to think of it I would prefer to buy another cal if this one will break. It's simply build with 2 wires in each earcup so soldering a cable back or a new cable is rxtremely easy. I like when there is no cable in headband because then I don't have to worry about it.
The only problem with it is comfort of headband. The earpads are great, soft and comfy. Not memory foam but the fake leather is soft and nice enough. The headphone itself is rather durable and looks great. Just the headband is a little bit small and to hard, so my ehad hurts on top after hour of listening. Was thinking if I can do anything about it. Maybe wrap something on the headband? Any ideas ?
found this but some folks at head-fi says it would not fit the cal

As for sound card. Xonar Dg is rather nice but I wanted something external to isolate the sound from inside of pc + I want to have a headphone jack and volume wheel on my desk comfortably. I don't care for Dolby headphone. Tried it and it's fun but I found myself not using it much. or maybe I should stay internal and just get creative z... not sure.
as for external creative omni looks good.
oh and btw. Where the fuck can I buy a decent but not overpriced headphone stand... I think I will have to make one myself

Good! Soon you'll be buying an audio equipment worth more money than a good car.
