I bought a half size down as suggested by other reviews- and glad I did. This is just another example of deception in its finest. As of now, yes I would recommend these to friends and yes I would buy them again. Well worth the price! Youll love them. I prefer the sound of these over my Sony MDRXB950AP headphones which sound muddy out of the box and need EQ adjustments to bring out detail but still cant match the soundstage and separation of the Urbanites. Did I mention that I love em. I went with the light brown color and I couldnt be happier with it! En cuanto al sonido es bueno, aun que loa agudos si se escucha muy fuertes cuando pones el volumen máximo, si lo tienes en volumen normal se escucha muy bien. Bought one for the kitchen - sink is on an island so where to put a towel bar? Expected it to clang around but NO.
