Good value for money!
Fantastic monitering headphones
December 30, 2016If you are looking for good studio headphones these are your best option for the $$, diminishing return the higher you go in $$ from here. These are NOT for casual listeners however, they're designed to give a relatively flat frequency response. These are for producers, mixengineers, and others looking to monitor sound for accuracy. If you're into mixing and mastering try these in combination with Sonarworks software, you'll get the flatest sound possible. Even more I like to also use Waves NX software which gives them a simulated room sound. Try all three together and you'll be shocked at how much better your mixes start turning out!

Great headphones!
August 5, 2016Best headphones I've ever used, for half the price of the mainstream Beats headphones that everyone buys, customer service was great too.

Great overall
May 1, 2016Probably the best overall value in higher end headphones. Audio quality is great. Could be a little more comfortable.

Great over-hear headphone
April 9, 2016One of the best sounding headphones I have every had. Great sound, but quite flat compared to some other cans. Bass is good, but not too boomy. I like the detachable cable and the multiple options available. Comfort is ok. The fit is not too tight, and the earpads are quite soft. But my ears sweat after wearing them for over an hour in one go. Overall construction is decent. It's very difficult to go back to other "typical" headphones after once I started using them.

Simply the best...
August 17, 2017These are easily the best on-ear headphones I have and I have quite a few. The sound is crystal clear and I can now hear things I've never heard before in my music. Again, these are amazing and I definitely recommend these to anyone wanting a new listening experience!

Best value
November 22, 2016If you're looking at these you probably already have a good idea of how well they perform. Just want to add my opinion to assure anyone thinking about these that they are great for the money. I would go so far as to say that they're about as good as you'll get for closed back, over ear headphones under $300. Great sound for the money!

I did a lot of research before buying this set. Initially, I was set on buying a Bose set, but with a little bit of digging around on Internet (Amazon, YouTube, Best Buy, B&h photo video etc), this set emerged as a clear winner for good value overall. Couldn't be happier with the purchase. It is a very well built set and sounds even better. It's so good that you will hear stuff that you would normally miss on an average headphone. Bass is lacking but I don't care as I want to listen music as the composer intended it to be, not what a headphone company thinks is better (beats etc)
