The only drawbacks are that they look like WWII-vintage military hardware, and they're not the most comfortable cans you'll ever try out.

The Senns are a lot more comfortable and also well regarded, but I found out the hard way that they will tend to voice some of their headphones differently than others (I bought a pair of their now-discontinued HD500s -- abysmal sounding headphones that way overshot the bass and had a dark and depressing tone overall).
Hey Woochifer,

Was the bass from the SR-80's overwhelming? Why did you choose the SR-60 vs the SR-80. Also where's a good place to take a look at em? I'm assumming it'll have to be online.
