By far the worst headphones I’ve ever heard. 5 stars because its very detailed above 180k and fun. I’ll burn these in for a while and reevaluate.Basically if you need more high frequencies as I do, then you can’t really go wrong. construction wise , not too heavy, easy on the ear like a physio.

So there’s a lot of pro’s to these headphones. They’re well made, not too heavy, comfy to wear with nice cushioned pads, and feel durable. Fits my head fine with glasses, which is good as some headphones can dig your frames into your temple.As they’re fully open back, they function well as you can still hear sounds outside the headphones just fine, which may be needed depending on your circumstances. Sound quality is really good overall. I use the Dolby Access app on Windows, and with that, extends the already big soundstage of the headphones even further. So for getting into movies, games, they’re great. Certain sounds have a good distance, as opposed to everything sounding likes its going direct into your head.Anywhooo, the con. The pads on these things attract absolutely everything. Dust, fluff, hair. I don’t even know where this comes from as my rooms always clean. You can take the pads off easily to wash them, but still. I would also recommend lint rolling them often as they need it.

By way of background I have many headphones in the same cost range. Beyer dt990 and 880, senn he 599 and hd660s, any 702. I like something about all if the above. I also have a bose and senn bkuetooth headphones which I like less due to the closed back leaving to hear and narrow soundstage .These are my new favourite. They combine the best of all the above as follows…Comfort. All the above are comfy but these have the edge due to solid construction. Vitally my ears don’t touch the drivers which they do on some phones not listed above. The headband is a touch comfier than all the above so I tend to forget it’s there.Build quality. These feel the most premium, even over the 660s. Lots of metal like the beyers but the quality if machining is better. Senns feel like great plastic but still plastic. Akgs feel like a child’s toy.Sound. The only thing that matters. These have the wide soundstage of the akgs with the ckaritybof the beyers. Unlike the beyers they are less fstuguing in the treble. They have the rounded feel of the senn but without the ‘veil over the details. I hesitated when people asked that had good bass as I hate bassy phones. These are great though. A fuller bass than any of the others without feeling unbalanced, or worse, muddy.I tend to listen at l7w volume and the bass isn’t lost but Mothercare the mid and high details. The clarity of the dt880s is nice but gives a ringing in my ears. This has the clarity without the tinnitus.And finally.These are so easy to power. I have a shiit amp which I doubt I’ll ever use again. At 30ohms my phone powers the full range effortlessly. Both ends of the cable are 3.5mm which also makes it easy to swap to a shorter cable.I have many ‘phones as some suit different uses more than others but these seem to be the universal ‘answer’I listen to a very wide range of styles. Rock, jazz, ambient, rock, pop etc.

I’ve been buying headphones for over 40 years. I’ve owned all kinds of them. One thing I’ve learned, is that headphones are just as personal as the music choose to play on them. That is, what are great headphones for one person, are awful for others. Just as NIN is a delicious hot cup of coffee for one person, whilst they are a rancid cup of tea for another.I’m not going to go into some boring long winded insecure list of what headphones are the best, simply I’m going to say that ‘I’ like these headphones, and give a brief reason why.* I got them on sale.* They are extremely well built* I enjoy the oversized comical nature of their size. I find it extremely whimsical.* I got them for gaming primarily, at which they excel at.* I discovered by chance they are great for certain genres of music that I like. I wasn’t expecting that.* They have detachable audio cables (meaning they can be replaced easily when they break)* For my head size and shape, they are extremely comfortable, with no discernible pressure on my ears.* They do not make my ears sweat* They have good bass, despite being open backed.* They have great stereo separation and sound stageThings I would improve;* The inherent v shaped EQ curve is a tad too aggressive on the highs (I fixed this with a simple EQ curve on my PC)* The mids are somewhat muted. (Again, I fixed this with a simple EQ curve on my PC)* The bass seems loose compared to my closed back headphones (To be expected, because, physics)* They are poor with listening to certain genres of music (because of the above)You’ll hear a lot of comments about how these headphones aren’t ‘flat’ headphones. I know. As they should be I believe. I do a lot of music production, and I have headphones tailored specifically for that. It always makes me chuckle when I read comments about people turning their noses up because of this. As the vast majority of consumers don’t have studio grade flat response headphones. Any music producer who doesn’t comprehend the implications of this, and only produces music tailored for other studio grade headphone wearers simply isn’t a very good music producer.These are ideal for the purpose I bought them (gaming), and I will be adding them to my collection of ‘reference’ headphones that I listen to my mixes on. In fact, I have a few mixes that I’ve listened to whilst wearing them that has highlighted some obvious issues that wasn’t apparent on my studios.And given that most people don’t have studios. This can only be a good thing.Ultimately, it’s for you to decide if you like these headphones. It’s no fault of this product if you don’t. It’s simply means they are not to your liking. I’ve been there. And if they’re not, then I wish you nothing but good luck on your quest to find a set of headphones you do like. I have a wall full of ones I don’t. Such is the nature of the beast.For me, I think they are great, fun, well built, reasonably priced headphones.

Headphone muito assertivo.
Headphone incrível, vale bastante a pena pela valor cobrado, e se levar em conta o valor promocional, é uma barganha. Graves bem presentes e extensos, médios arejados e bem colocados, no ponto certo, agudos com a medida certa de brilho, que trazem muito detalhamento e cor ao tuning. O palco sonoro é gigante, e também impressiona nas camadas e detalhamento. É muito fácil de amplificar. Só recomendo um upgrade de cabo.

Gran sonido y muy sólidos, bajos fuertes, pero agradables
Los compre principalmente para jugar videojuegos y ver películas, y vaya que buena elección, los bajos hacen que los sonidos de balas, las pisadas, las explosiones, incluso sonidos generales graves, luzcan mucho, maso menos como en el cine, pero más preciso, un bajo mas agradable aún. El resto del sonido en general también es muy bueno, no había escuchado mis juegos tan bien como con estos audífonos, para películas es lo mismo, son super cómodos, luego de un rato ya ni me acuerdo que los traigo puestos. Eso sí, si por algo me los quiero quitar, tengo que dejarlos por ahí en la mesa porque no hay forma cómoda de recargarlos sobre los hombros, también por ser abiertos si alguien por ahí anda haciendo ruido se escucha por completo, los he usado un poco con música también y hacen lucir mucho a algunos géneros, una muy buena experiencia ahí también, tengo un fiio btr5 que es un dac amp, pero aún sin él, no siento que los audífonos necesiten amplificarse, si suena algo mejor con el fiio, pero no es necesario. Su uso es más bien sentado en algún lugar silencioso, porque al caminar como que brincan en la cabeza, la banda que los sostiene en su lugar se estira un poco como elástico y al subir y bajar con cada paso se siente como suben y bajan en la cabeza, además de que hacen un pequeño ruido, no es un problema porque los uso frente a la computadora y ahí son una delicia, pero es claro que no puedo hacer limpieza con ellos, quizá lavar trastes de pie sin moverme mucho y escuchando el agua, los trastes y todo al rededor jaja. Muy contento con mi compra los recomiendo mucho si tienes un perfil similar, poco movimiento y silencio al rededor.

Love These Headphones
They’re great. I’ve had them for about 6 months, and the headphones are wonderful. The ear cups are made of cloth, so they don’t stick to the side of your head, even if you’ve been wearing them for a while. Audio is quite crisp, and it’s very easy to even pick out when characters are breathing in tv shows. However, they are open-eared, so the sound can be garbled if you’re in a very noisy area. (The design also means that others can hear what you’re listening to if you’re in very close proximity) Personally, I don’t mind, as I usually use them in my room, but if noise cancellation is for you then these headphones are not. Also, and I can’t stress this enough, these headphones are very comfortable and very light. I can wear them for 3 hours and they won’t weigh my head down, and the adjustable head strap automatically fits to your head to ensure a snug fit. These headphones are really quite nice, especially for at-home use.

Great, but buy them cheaper from somewhere else…
I really like these headphones. I used to use Audio Technica m40x’s and these beat them by a long shot. That being said these come with the disadvantage of portability. They are huge, they don’t fold, and are kinda heavy. They are comfortable, they fit very nicely with the suspension headband and they do kind of “disappear” if placed correctly. The headband has to go on the very back almost at the incline of the head. Now, for sound, I think that for this price range of $100-$800, you won’t find a better bass response in headphones. While it can be a little much at very rare occasions, and I mean very rare, it is flawless 95% of the time. It is rich, impactful, and not muddy. It is very clear and you can hear the articulation and complexities in the lower register. I personally really enjoy all genres on these headphones but I would argue that its weakest genres are rock and metal, and that is because of the bass blended with the distortion, for the rock/metal sound you kinda want a recessed bass response. This is because it is hard to get a rich tone out of music that doesn’t have it. This is more so for metal because of the use of extended range guitar and heavily distorted bass. The main response of the low range changes, therefore the music needs a different sort of headphones. Now with all that, these headphones will be enjoyable to listen to, but like I said metal is a small weakness, all be it a small one, they are not unlistenable, they just sound a little bit bloated. I would recommend eq if your primary listening is metal. Rock is only an issue for some minor tracks, not everyone will be affected. Classical is enjoyable, but it won’t be as rich as peakier, the high end of the sound spectrum focused headphones. ex shp9500, 6xx. Also, these can be bought for cheaper elsewhere, tho, they are still worth it, even at this price.
