I finally bought these a few months ago after years of looking, and it was so worth the wait! For background, I am an upcoming audio engineer with a bachelor's degree in the field, so I know what to listen for. The mid-range is perfectly present, and the bass is still there while not overpowering the midrange, and the treble has so much clarity.

These take a little while to break in, I think probably at least 24 full hours of use for me. Initially upper-mids and highs could be harsh, and low bass was slightly lacking, but once they break in these headphones are nearly perfectly flat so you can listen to your music as the artist and crew intended.

Coming from a pair of Sony WH-CH700N's, the major improvement I noticed was the difference distortion. These headphones don't distort at all! Perfectly clear, while the Sony's were horrible distorted (I had mixed them with their app to be a flatter response by boosting the mids among other things, and unfortunately while overall better it brought out the distortion more). With these Klipsch headphones, however, you will not need an app! Just be patient while they break in, they start harsh but clean up amazingly.

Not only have I never heard headphones this good (including not only Sony and Bose, but even pro audio companies like Sennheiser), but they're also the most comfortable headphones I've ever worn, and they're the first headphones I can wear for hours on end with zero problems. I have heard issues about the plastic breaking with these, but I have yet to have an issue. If you treat them gently like you should with headphones of this price and quality, then you'll probably be fine.

Also if you are worried about the lack of active noise cancellation, the natural cancelation of the cushions honestly does more than that cushions and ANC combined on my old Sony's, which weren't ever the top model from them and weren't perfect in that area either, but it still says A LOT about the design of these headphones. My dog's shrill barking will still cut through even with music on, but almost nothing else does and at least her barking has been reduced to the volume of the music or lower and isn't shrill with these on.

These are perfect for both casual listening, and as professional reference headphones, and they pair up amazingly with my Klipsch R-15PM speakers and matching 12" subwoofer I use for all my mixes, and I could die never needing another pair of headphones so long as these are around and in perfect working order.

Klipsch please, BRING THESE BACK!!

Best Audio And Comfort Available TO THIS DAY!

Klipsch reference on The ear Bluetooth, are perfect for travel, gym, or any music listening time, I've owned two pair in last ten years, and they still work perfectly, just a little worn

Great headphones

They sound fine but the screw on clips that hold the headband on snapped and the ear pads are flaking. Klipsch does not sell replacement parts to repair any of them. Ater 4 emails and 6 weeks of trying to contact them, that's what they told me.  Sad customer service. $300+ down the drain.

Sad customer support

These headphones are a fantastic value for the pricetag that they usually command.  They can be found on Amazon for a pretty decent price and honestly the most comparable headphones for a similar price that I can think of off the top of my head would be the Sennheiser hd560s and I think that really says a lot about klipsch because just to be clear...the reference over ear is the better sounding of the two.  The only downside really is the build quality is just a bit subpar, the earcups and the headband feel very nicely cushioned but the plastic frame pieces just aren't very premium feeling and they creak quite a bit when flexing the headphones.

An excellent product for the price!

$280 throw away headphones made in Chyna. Klipsch has fallen a long long way in terms of quality.

Chinese JUNK!

Perfectly Balanced, Legendary Klipsch sound!

I picked these up on sale and it has been one of my best audio purchases ever. 

I also have the On Ear ii, and although the sound signatures are slightly different, I like them both, with the upper hand on perfect balance going to the Over Ears with its amazing 40mm KBD Drivers. The Bluetooth sound is also good, but I use these with a Sound BlasterX G6 on Direct Mode 32bit 384 Khz - they sound so detailed and balanced. 

I have seen a few reviews claiming that the build quality is shoddy, but I think it might be in certain climates that the plastic cover cracks - I am using it in 90+% humidity in Sri Lanka, and have no issues at all so far.

Once you go Klipsch, you can't go back. Can't wait to upgrade to the Klipsch Heritage HP-3 next *-*
