    They feel great on my head, but I need to get a 6.3 to 3.5 mm adapter which is missing from my box. Not sure how that happened given the seal is in place. Will report back when I get the adapter to try these out finally.

    These are my first open back headphones, they were an upgrade from some cheap tascams. I do music production as a hobby and i game so I wanted headphones that would do both, i run these through a behringer umc404hd interface and it drives them well. These are very detailed sounding headphones, the high frequencies are a bit sharp coming from closed back headphones but you get used to it, especially because you dont need loud volumes to hear details in all ranges, bass is definitely subtle, but punchy and sub bass has a nice range, its not like youll notice its there but youll notice if it isnt, depends on the song. Soundstage is hard to explain, coming from open back and in ear headphones and earbuds I always like the inside your head sound and coming in to these I was expecting a kind of out of head experience, which it can be, depending on the sound design, but for most songs, although there is a difference its not groundbreaking, people will mosly no notice. The bleedthrough is not bad and since i use these while gaming, my friends havent complained about sound coming out of these, but then again i have a dynamic mic, also you wont hear your surroundings that well, i can barely hear someone coming into my room, so if you wanted more spacial awareness these wont really help. Now the one thing I struggle with is the comfort, its not like these are uncomfortable but theyre pretty tight out of the box, theyre a bit on the heavier side of light and being used to on ear headphones having nothing touching my earlobes but my temples being pressed is a weird feeling, also the earcups are elongated so i feel the edges pressing against my jaw. The headband is very fluffy, so you wont feel it at first, but it is narrow so if you dont position it well it hurts after a while, in general these headphones dont seem to find their place on my head, probably is my head shape but most headphones you put on just tend to grab your head a certain way and then you forget about them, whereas these take some extra adjusting constantly, which keeps reminding me i have headphones on, and that takes away from the experience of the great sound, i cant get imersed as easily. The great sound makes up for a slighly uncomfortable headset, ive only had them for two weeks so im expecting them to keep breaking in, also the cable is way too long, senheiser should sell shorter cables as this is replaceable but i havent found a good replacement.

    I love how these sound. I make music for a hobby, and I prefer a nice flat sound (none of that boosted bass nonsense) so i know whether or not my bass is hitting too hard. these have excellent spatial representation as well. its really easy to hear what im doing when im EQing a track. super comfortable and lightweight.

    These are comfortable, detailed, but not painful (aka beyerdynamic, except the tygr 300R). For music these are superior to the Tygr 300r or pc38x. The Tygrs are very close, the pc38x is not. I prefer the pc38x in FPS games, theres such a thing as too detailed. The pc38x is very good at giving you what you need and not overwhelming you. These can sometimes give you too much information.

    Muy buenos…. Necesitas una buena fuente, con una suscripción que ofrezca hi - res y un dac externo. La amplificación si es fácil de conseguir, en esa no deben preocuparse mucho

    El único punto negativo que le puedo poner es que por 250 dólares hay otras muy buenas opciones a considerar y de todas éste tiene los peores materiales, no son malos pero son los peores en el precio.

    Fantastic headset. BUT I ordered a NEW headset and got a used one instead with a torn up box, some random aftermarket cable, and no user manual. was kinda mad
