I have been using these as my go to closed headphone for a couple of years now and i agree that they are very underrated. Like mentioned before it's built like a tank and what's also nice is is that if you manage to break something every single part can be replaced afaik. Comfort wise the top of your head might be a bit uncomfortable until you get used to it and the pads need some time as well to form to your head/ears. The DT-100 is supposedly the bass-light version but i don't have a problem with the 150, sure it can be a bit bloated and unrefined at times but the mids and highs are very good imo, especially for the price they are going for(atleast here in europe).

I like the dt150 better when used with the dt100 velour pads vs the stock pleather pads

I loved that too but the dt250-250 is even better

I've used the dt150 for a long time for work, but not for what I'd say are hi fi reasons.

For a working situation,

a) they are really tough and can safely be sat on.
b) sound is reasonable. Bass heavy and a little dull on the top, but great for playback at loud volume if you're playing along and putting another track down. I hate trying to record tracks at mini volume since you lose all sense of 'live'. They play loud without pain.
c) cable comes off so if you break it no problem. Also, you can leave the screw out so it'll pull off under stress.
d) big space for big ears.
e) everything is modular and can be changed.

It's just not waterproof!!! ;)

For music, home listening, I do prefer the dt250 or dt990 tbh. Sometimes the dt770 which the BBC in the UK seem to like. (Cost)

My dt150s are normally quite heavily eq'd for work and hearing them straight, at home was a surprisingly different experience.
