User feedback on ATH-M40fs headphones

[Hoodoo]

Given I do most of my tracking/mixing at night (with kids asleep), I'm looking for a decent pair of comfortable flat-response headphones. After much research on this board and the Net, I've concluded that the Audio-Techica model ATH-M40fs headphones seem best for the job (at a decent price of $69 at Musicians Friend).

Any specific user feedback on the ATH-M40fs headphones?

Or, has anyone dumped them for the Sennheiser HD280s?

Also, meant to emphasize COMFORTABLE. I want decent sound (for under $100), but something I can wear for 2-4 hours at a time without head/ear aches.

Thanks.

The ATH-M40fs headphones are excellent at any price! They offer a relatively flat response (not hyped or scooped like a lot of phones in this price range), have excellent isolation, and they are pretty comfortable (You could wear them for hours without fatigue).

I know of other places that offer them for the same price as MF...*hint, hint*

I like the Sony MDR7506s. $100 most places.

Call me slow, but what's the "hint, hint". I know zzounds will beat any listed price, so anyone else you can add?

PM me if necessary. Thanks.

Forget this. Saw your profile (and web site).

I'm looking to buy if you can PM me a more competitive price...

I just bought 6 of these from 8thstreet. They are selling for $60 each there. That leaves me with 7 pairs of these so you can tell i love them. My first pair i paid like $90 for so i was extremely happy to get them for $60 each.

I personally wouldnt ever try and mix with them of course, but they definately do a good job with letting you hear everything while your in the tracking room. Plus they are quite isolated and very comfortable like mentioned above.
