Excellent quality, absolutely not expected for such a price.

I took it for games and casual listening to music, because I have a shure sm7b and I didn’t need a microphone, if you have a similar situation, I advise you as much as possible. I advise you to immediately buy brainwavz hm5 angled pads from some alik. They become much more comfortable, plus a larger soundstage. After the equalizer from referenceaudioanalyzer or oratory1990 (I don't remember, to be honest), the headphones became just fine. I attached the equalizer settings below, maybe someone will come in.

Pros

Build quality, sound better than the ATH-M50X at a great price. Great bass and detail. Very good soundproofing. I would buy these ears even for 30k.

Cons

Convenience 4 due to stock ear pads. With brainwavz hm5 angled - 5* Stock ear pads can be thrown out immediately. Just leave the filters so that the high ones do not cut. Volume control would be added, but it's a nitpick. After SENNHEISER G4ME ZERO it is already unusual to reach for the interface, but this is my personal nitpick.

Its pros: sit well, do not put pressure on the head. Bought for my husband, he is quite happy with it. The wire is long. Some cons: The only thing that can slightly reduce the rating is when listening to music in silence, others can also hear it :)

Its pros: The sound is good, there is enough bass, the middle is normal. Build quality, nice plastic, no smell. Cons below: They press decently, but here it’s like someone. Ears sweat if you use it for a long time.

Different pros: Excellent smooth sound, transparent enough. The basses don't fall, but they sound exactly as they should. Cons below: Very tight, after half an hour in the headphones, the ears and the crown of the head begin to hurt terribly.
