    A little wofy or bassy initially to my ears (often the case today) but super comfortable and definitely good enough to use for mixing music professionally which was what I was hoping for. I love them! Mixed latest EP with them, got great reviews!

    Almost a 5 star rating. Very good sound quality. They are built sturdy. Sound is good with a decent bass and treble. They fit over the ear very well and they do not hurt after wearing them for an extended period of time. The only negative is the cord is a little too long. It gets tangled up on my computer desk. Not sure if it rates taking away 1 star. I have always bought Sennheiser cause to the sound and build quality. These headphones are a very value for the price.

    The audio is excellent. I have been able to hear so much more sounds in music that I have not been able to hear. On top of that, they are the most comfortable headphones I have ever worn. I have always had an issue with long headphone sessions. Headaches would start about an hour into wearing any headphones. With these, I have been wearing them for about 4 hours and I feel like totally fine. The open back nature of these headphones is a plus for me too. I like to hear what's going on around me at home, so if you're the person who needs to hear a knock at your door, or a weird noise in the night, you can easily hear everything around you.

    Theyre super comfortable, and beat of all its 100+ degrees here, and these dont make my ears hot at all. I like being able to hear sounds around me ao I was aware of the open back design. Id totally recommend these for use with a digital piano.

    Light weight, comfortable and sound great. Not great for travel as it uses a cord but perfect for lounging listening to music or an audio book or gaming.

    For this price tag, its not a bad choice they sound great! But the build quality seems a bit fragile. Basically just plastic. Despite that, they are comfortable, and can be easily be worn for hours at a time. Keep in mind that they are open back.

    I like the quality of sound of the headphones. I often hook up a Bluetooth adapter to listen to my audiobooks from my phone. Good quality build.

    Super comfortable for wearing all day. I bought these for work and wear them at least 4 hours per day. Huge improvement in comfort over my Sony MDR-7506 headphones, sound quality is slightly better as well. Happy with this purchase.

    These headphones are a great entry to the detailed listening headphone space if you can get them for $130-$150. They can be powered by a phone or laptop. The options that are the next step up need an additional purchase or a Dac/Amp. That said an upgrade will probably run you $300 for HD6XX and an entry level Dac/Amp. Thats why these are a great entry at $130-$150.

    These are not the best headphones in the world but they sound better than anything else in the price bracket. You would have to spend 3x to get a noticable improvement.

    Great headphones. Appreciate the wired connection. I have never enjoyed a Bluetooth headset. Great for listening to the vinyl collection. They adjust to fit everybody in the family.
