  • "Punching" Above Their Weight Class
For open-back cans, these things have amazing bass, deep but somehow still punchy. The mids don't get lost and the highs are clear and resonant without being overbearing. These cans sit and breathe well on your head, allowing you to wear them for hours on end without ever really noticing they're there (and, this is from someone who wears glasses). The last time I spent in the neighborhood of a hundred bucks on a pair of cans, they were impossibly disappointing in comparison to these. 10/10 would buy again, especially for the price. ... show more

  • Haven't tried yet, probably good headset BUT inaccurate description
It DOES NOT have a 3.5 mm jack. The cable that comes with it is 2.5 mm to the earcup and 6.3 mm jack to whatever device. Had to return the cable I had bought to adapt to 3.5 mm since it was 3.5 mm to 3.5 mm. You want to buy a 2.5 mm to 3.5 mm.

  • Speakers and band must be broken-in
Deeper frequency sound is helpful to older ears which have diminished hearing range. Happens to work wonderfully for SSB and AM - kind of like having built-in noise cancelling. But, they do need time to stretch the band and pads to become more "squishy". Be patient; it takes a hundred hours of use but it is worth it. Anyone trying to blame the manufacturer for a broken band are deceptively omitting that they tried to pull the earpieces apart rather than giving them time to set-in. ... show more

  • Serves our purpose
Got 2 of these for voice recording as well as casts. By no means am I an audiophile nor a professional. These fit my criteria. Sound good to me, isolate plenty of ambient noise, fit comfortable, do not look goofy on the head, and direct connection to mixer.

  • Great for glasses!
I needed headphones that I could wear comfortably with glasses. Earbuds hurt my ears quickly and most over the ear headphones are too tight. These are incredibly comfortable to the point where not only do I not have to adjust my glasses to put them on, but I feel zero pain at any time during or after I take the headphones off. That being said, maybe I have a small head but the earphones part is a little big and doesn’t create a “seal” around my ear fully. There’s a gap at the bottom but it doesn’t interfere with the comfort or quality. I am by no means a sound quality expert but I think they sound great. ... show more

  • Excellent headphones, now I want a pair
Got these for my son. He loves them. He listens to a lot of music when he's not using them for his schoolwork. Good sound. Wide frequency response. Good-great spacial. Comfortable. Wide headrest disperses weight. So good bought another pair for my other son, but a slightly different model.

  • 2 years on, still great!
I got these since I was tired of buying cheap headphones and having to replace them every year due to them breaking. I spent so much money on headphones, and they were never even comfortable and good sounding. SO, I saved up money and spent them on something more expensive. Review! -They are comfortable. I have chronic migraines and things, like headphones, pressing too hard on my head can quickly trigger them. I have never had such an issue with these. -They sound great! I am not an audiophile, so I can't go into detail, but they sound SO GOOD compared to what I had before. Something something sound-stage, I can hear stuff around me better instead of just left/right. -DURABLE. These things can bend and take damage pretty well. I OBVIOUSLY would never hurt these things intentionally, but accidents happen. I've walked away with the chord plugged in a few times, these things have been dropped, stepped on, whatever. It happened. and they don't even have a scratch. -When I first bought these I didn't know I'd need an amplifier? Or adapter thing. These things don't end in a normal headphone plug, it's very large and you need to buy your own adapter thing to be able to plug it in. BUY THE GOOD ONES. Don't buy a cheap 7$ one- just get the 20$ one. The sound will be way worse if you buy a cheap one. -They're open-back headphones which means that they bleed noise and are not very good at noise canceling. For me, this is a PLUS because I live in a house with people that sometimes want my attention, and having noise canceling means I wouldn't notice. + I like being able to hear myself so I don't accidentally get very very loud and annoy everyone else. -The chord never tangles! OK that's it! ... show more

  • Give it a chance. Zero Highs when you first plug it in.
I bought this model 10 years ago and am still amazed at the clarity of the highs, and if you know what your are doing, you can really get some good bass as well. I got my new cans today and they sounded awful out of the box. I did a side by side, and they had no high clarity whatsoever. I gave it about an hour of "loud music" and now they sound awesome. I never believed in that "burn in" baloney, but now its a real thing. These sound great, but I am not going to throw my old ones away just in case. ... show more
