I don't think these are brand new according to this disclaimer on the site:

Limited Stock Available

Demo gear has been played by customers in Guitar Center stores, and may have visible blemishes, scratches or dings.

I have a pair of these. Very comfortable, but the sound quality isn't good. The treble is very sharp.

If new this is a good price. These are reference studio headphones, so know what you are getting so you will not be expecting something different. I'd get them if I knew they were new for certain.

Yeah it's unfortunate that the condition is unclear. Luckily I live close to a guitar center and plan to return if they are used

So I currently use a wired set of Bose quiet comfort with my Mustang LT25. Would these be an upgrade?
