Review on Immerse Yourself In Unmatched Sound Quality With DROP + HIFIMAN HE5XX Planar Magnetic Over-Ear Open-Back Headphones In Black by Kyle Gresham

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Not really worth it.

My main issue is that certain treble frequencies distort at higher volumes. Comfort and build quality are nice. I was driving these with an iFi Zen CAN/DAC stack and a balanced cable. Nothing really blew me away about the sound, however if you like good mids and highs these will do the job I feel the bass is quite lacking.

Pros
  • 12.5 ounces
Cons
  • The headphones may require specialized knowledge to set up and use, making them less accessible to the general consumer
