I read audioboOks and listen to music. These phones are quite flat, easy on the ears, and a great buy for the price.

I went through a lot of headphones to get to these, and I'm so glad that I never settled because these are the ones for me! My search began when I hadn't bought a new pair of cans for years, and my old Audio-Technicas finally gave out. I started with the ATH-M50s, an updated model of the ones I had, and didn't like them - felt tight and my ears felt like they were in a well - something changed over the years I guess. Then tried the Beyerdynamic DT 770s which were highly recommended, sounded way bright to my ears and felt tight, heavy, bulky and uncomfortable. I started researching headphones quite a bit and what I was seeing was a bunch of companies focused on reinventing the look of the headphones, and not so much on the quality and comfort of them. For tracking music, I don't need some space-age looking gear with a hundred doo-hickeys tacked on all over - I just want a simple pair of black cans that are as small and lightweight as possible. Once I saw these Yamahas I knew I found something I might be able to wrap my head around (or wrap around my head :). Pros: They are lightweight, minimally designed, and comfortable to wear. They sound great - not hyped at all to my ears, no high end sheen, about as honest of a playback as you can get They are Yamahas! And anyone who knows Yamaha gear knows that they build to the highest quality at any given price point - you get every dollar you spend with Yamaha equipment. Cons: The cord comes wrapped up in very small bunches as expected, but I find that it is hard to retrain the cord to go straight - wish they would roll it in a circle or something so it wouldn't be prone to crunching up. Over long periods of time they can get a little uncomfortable, maybe could be a tad less tight and a tad lighter, but that may not be possible and eveyone's head is shaped different, so it's something I can live with - definitely the most comfortable pair of cans I've had. Overall: Highly recommend these over more recommended brands

Are the cables straight 1/8 to 1/8 connectors. Could any 1/8 to 1/8 be substituted for the originals?
Yes, they are.
