Good open-back headphones

(TL;DR at end)
After using these headphones for a few weeks, I can say for sure that they are quality products. Even without an amp, they have a very clear and detailed sound. They definitely don't sound muddy like some other headphones that I've tried.

The bass isn't exactly the main strength of these headphones, but it still manages to capture the details well and have good depth. Other headphones at this price range, like the Sennheiser HD700, may have more powerful bass if that's what you're looking for.

The mids of these headphones are excellent. Vocals sound very clear and, at least for me, just seem to come alive more than many other headphones I've tried. I've also noticed that it can make vocals much easier to hear. While using these headphones, I could easily understand vocals that I had difficulty even distinguishing from other sounds with some other headphones I've tried.

The treble extends well for a pair of dynamic headphones. These obviously aren't electrostatic headphones, so they're good for what they are. I don't have any complaints with how well the treble extends and the response. The treble is detailed and manages to make cymbals sound good, which isn't an easy thing to do. They can do all that and are still very easy to listen to. I didn't notice any harshness at all with the treble, so I would say it does well in that regard.

Soundstage is good. These headphones would likely fall onto the more intimate side of the spectrum, but by no means is the soundstage small. The soundstage makes me feel like I'm surrounded by the sound, as if I could just reach out and touch it.

As more of a side note, watching videos, movies, or whatever else is a pretty enjoyable experience; it really gives me a feeling of immersion that I haven't gotten from my previous headphones. Keep in mind that I don't have a ridiculously huge headphone collection, but it just stood out enough that I thought it was worth a mention. Also, I'm certain that these headphones would sound even better with a good amplifier. The wing system might not be for everyone, but personally they work very well for me so I don't have any complaints.

Would I say that the price is completely and without a doubt justified comparing these headphones to, say, the ATH AD-1000x? I'm not entirely sure. Maybe it's true that the sound profile is very similar and the price difference is quite large, but that small difference is really what sold me on getting these instead. Would I say it's a good deal? Maybe not. Would I buy these headphones again? Definitely.

PROS:
+ Very good clarity
+ Moderate amount of bass
+ Excellent mids
+ Vocals sound great
+ Treble is detailed without being harsh
+ Easy to drive, even with most phones
+ Engaging headphones
+ I like them

HMM:
+- Intimate, but maybe not the largest soundstage
+- Price may not be entirely justified compared to ATH AD1000x
+- Unique wing headband maybe not comfortable for everyone
+- Not the best headphones if you like a lot of bass
+- Some people have complained about the earcups trapping heat, but I haven't had problems. (Although they can be swapped with the ATH AD1000x earcups and that seems to solve the problem)

CONS:
- Wires seem to be non removable, at least not without disassembly
- Metal part of headband seems a bit fragile (really makes me paranoid about bending them)
