I've owned them a number of years ago.
They are heavy and not too comfortable. Sound was quite good, but they wouldn't play loudly, and like most 'stats, aren't the most dynamic sounding. Reliability is spotty as well.
Good modern phones are certainly better in all these ways. In particular, good modern planars, starting with HiFiman 400s or higher offer generally the same type of sound, but will play louder, are lighter, and more reliable.
Certainly for the $ the HE-560, which I now own, is a more practical and reliable choice, but Audeze makes good phones as well.
