Is there a headphone that doesn't get hate? Utopias are among my favorite all-rounder headphones, though their QC rep scares me a bit and replacement pads are as extortionately priced as the headphones. Their stock cables are also pretty shit, so if you're the kind of person to buy expensive cables, that's something else to budget for. I think these are headphones on the HD600 upgrade track, if that makes any sense. If you don't dig those, you won't dig these, and vice versa.
