Good sound but really lacking build quality and fit

Cheaply made compared to similarly priced headphones. I enjoyed the sound but the fit and build quality were deal breakers. Little to no clamping force and always felt like they were about to slide off. The slider adjustment seemed pretty flimsy and wouldn't stay in the notch adjustment. They also do have a strong chemical/paint smell right out of the box. Wanted to like them but the cons outweighed the pros.Pros - Good audio quality. The earpads are large. Lightweight and comfortableCons - Flimsy build quality, no real clamp, questionable adjustment slider, (hifiman build quality and qc concerns)

Pros

A MORE NEUTRAL TAKE ON THE HE500: A brighter, more neutral take on the trademark HE500 Series sound, with upgraded efficiency and a better fit than ever before. Thinner double magnets and Nano Diaphragm membranes maximize fidelity and comfort.
