Not the perfect set of cans they're made out to be.
2 of 13 found this helpful There's enough info out there on these without me adding to the noise about their soundstage, detail, eq etc etc. Look they're clearly excellent sounding headphones. Fairly well made, although I'm not convinced by the craftsmanship and materials. Especially around the cable connection area. Looks a bit well... poorly machined to me. Minor detail, but if you're spending this kind of money, you expect a certain level of workmanship.
Now what put me off. 1. They're made in China. Whenever you buy from China you are supporting the regime, and the economic success of that regime. If you're ok with that, then this isn't a problem for you.
2. The main reason I personally am not a fan of these is that they feel weirdly claustrophobic. They aggressively surround your ears in a way that I personally found unsustainable. It's a personal thing, and again it's minor, but if you intend to wear your cans for a long period of time, comfort becomes a significant feature. Whilst the pads are soft and initially comfortable they become weirdly clingy over time and become more noticeable over time. Also the pleather material makes them hot and sweaty after a while. I always prefer a velvet/velour material.
The sound was very good, but not massively superior to other headphones in a similar price bracket, AKGs Audio Technica, Good Beyers etc. At least to my ears.
It really is the case that you need to try, and see what you like. These cans made me realise how important comfort and form factor is once you pass the 'acceptable' sound quality threshold.
