Let me start by saying that I was blown away by the overall aesthetics of the OperaFactory product. The box is reminiscent of the high quality boxes and materials used in older Astro gaming headsets, for example. The headphones are a mix of black and gold with screen print by Opera Factory. The included cable is a high quality braided cable with a durable rubber sleeve next to the earbuds that allows for better use of the earbuds over the ear. You are here for a meat and potato review. sound quality. I've had Razor Pro gaming headphones, Beats, AKG, Sony, Skull Candy and a few others. But I've always found some of the cheaper kits I bought to blow the big names out of the water. Opera Factory is damn close to perfection. Overall impression: The soundstage is almost perfect, with crystal-clear highs and warm, natural mids, but bass is somewhat lacking. Until I discovered the memory foam ear pads. While the cable is set up and not upgradeable, I can't say for sure how much the foam tips affected the sound quality. The highs are much cleaner, the mids are warm and help improve the quality of the lows, and the bass is almost perfect (for me). While it can't compete with some brands of ear lollipops in bass quality, it will be a natural bass tone. I mainly use them for gaming and audio streaming, so I'm testing them. Games like Control and Hellblade are a whole new experience with OF headphones. Both games use binaural audio, which I've never heard before. From the murmuring voices in the agency's offices to the panoramic voices of the personalities inhabiting Senua's mind in Hellblade, I've heard these games like never before. Moving to more explosive games like Destiny or Doom 2016, the foam tips once again made a big difference. When I tested these games before using interchangeable tips, the shots and explosions were unimpressive, almost shrill and loud. Now they are huge and add to my overall experience. While the OF OS1 will not be a headphone for musicians, it offers the level of separation and quality that audio engineers have come to expect.
