Cheap Piece, Unusable
The wings at the top of the headpiece are made extremely cheaply, one broke on me the second time I used these headphones. Can't even use the headphones since they tangle in my hair without the piece in place, and they don't sit properly on my head even if I settle it in place despite the broken plastic. Check the photo. The sound quality isn't to my liking either, although I'm not an educated audiophile so I can't say what exactly's wrong with them. But I prefer my old Audiotechnica M30's, which were cheaper than these when I first got them. Overall I recommend passing on these.

Best value open-back headphones
For the money, the most comfortable large headphones I have had. I wanted to be able to hear people talking to me, so could not have a closed back head-set, this is the perfect balance between very good sound and the ability to hear outside environment.

Excellent sound quality at any price!
A lot open back headphones can be pretty rolled off in the lower bass frequencies these aren’t. The bass is well defined never exaggerated or boomy. The mids and highs are very detailed but not fatiguing at all. Only reason theyre not a five star review is the fit and some minor duribilty concerns. The clamping force isnt strong enough to prevent them from slipping down my really big 7 3/4” head, and the little flaps on the head band dont really do much to keep them in place. The cord isn’t detachible, and doesnt seem super secure. These are all nit picks and over all i love these headphones.
