Just get a HD6XX if you are not into hifi but just want to get a pair of goodish open headphones for music.
For $156 this is very "SLICK".
As others pointed out, you will need a headphone amplifier (not all receivers have good ones). I am using some from Schiit Audio and they work very well.

Update: these headphones are great. I received them on Saturday, and right out of the box (without burning them in) they sounded different and ultimately better to my ears than the K702s, which I really like. They have a different, slightly clearer, and higher sound signature. Some folks may not like the extra treble, but I do because it is clean. Also, the soundstage is widened and there is more detail to the music. By comparison, the K702 sounds (almost) a bit muffled (again, the 702s are great, I am just comparing them to the K701s).
For $156 this is a great deal!
