Summary:
I've tried the Sony MDR-CD380 and the Sennheiser 495. I like the DT-131 more. They don't have the deep bass of the Sonys but they are much livelier. And the bass doesn't break up like with the 495s.

Strengths:
Comfortable, great "alive" sound. Very balanced between the highs, mids and lows.

Weaknesses:
Deep bass and the 2.5 meter cord (should be 3 meters).
