Summary: Buy these right away
Review: All my life I'm been unattractive to women. I've tried everything in an effort to get the chicks. However, dressing like Harry Potter, buying a wicked Ford Focus, getting a job as a computer programmer, and learning to play the harp all failed to deliver on their promise of converting me into a babe magnet.

Nothing worked until I bought these headphones. Now the lovely ladies are swarming to me. They are worth every penny.

Summary: Audio nirvana
Review: I recently had a chance to compare these head-to-head against some of the best dynamic headphones available (from Sennheiser and Grado). To my ears these sounded *substantially* better. The detail and realism was really wonderful. Of course they cost nearly times as much as most other audiophile headphones, but if you want to spend that kind of money on a pair of headphones, these would be the ones.

Summary: Overpriced in the fine audiophile tradition.
Review: It has been said that this is probably the best dynamic headphone ever made. But is it worth it at its price? Unless you have a lot of money to spend, and must have the absolute best of something, no it is not. There are headphones which come within 99% of its potential at nearly ten times less its cost. If you need that last 1%, then go for it. Otherwise, there are plenty of headphones out there that will blow your head off with the sort of quality that would take tens of thousands of dollars to replicate in a typical speaker configuration. Conversely, at its price point, you could start seriously looking at some very fine electrostatic headphones which, while not to everyone's taste, are universally considered to have superior resolution and emersiveness to dynamic headphones (and typically come with their own amplifiers, which the R-10s do not). I give it five stars out of respect, not as a recommendation.

Summary: You only live once!
Review: My mother passed away, and $4000 is an awful lot to spend on a burial. So I buried her out in the backyard and spent the money on these headphones.

Let me tell you, this was the best decision that I have ever made!!!

How can the memory of your own mother compare with the silky highs, earth-shattering lows, and ultra-clear sounds that these babies produce.

Thank you Sony for changing my life - for the better!!!

Summary: The King?
Review: These headphones won't get you the ladies like the posts above claim but paired with the correct amplifier (they like tube amps) these babies make pure music. Yes, they are expensive, but they are the best at what they do: immerse you in music with a spacious sound that is very true to life. For alternatives look to the Stax Omega II electrostatic earspeaker system. For complete reviews and recommended amplifiers for the R10 search http://www.Head-Fi.org.

Summary: Wildly overpriced
Review: These headphones, while very comfortable, are vastly overpriced for their sound quality...
