Cheap Piece, Unusable
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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.

Excellent sound quality at any price!
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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.

Great pair of open back headphones
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These are my first pair of open back headphones. I personally think they are great headphones and are very comfortable. Some people might not like the idea of open back so if you can try a pair on I would do so before buying. Overall, they’re great headphones and they are very comfortable.

Amazing Sound and Very Comfortable!
||Posted . Owned for 5 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I'm not a sound expert but from my experience of listening to music and playing games (I mostly play FPS games such as Valorant), these sound very sharp and clear. The biggest thing to me would be the depth of sound that I never experienced with any other headphones as these are my first pair of open backs. An additional note would be that I can wear these headphones for hours with my glasses on.
