Performs its functions, nothing unusual.

I put 3 because they are just good headphones, exactly the same as all their other competitors. All of them are half measures. Senhi 600 is just the middle without a stage. Akg 700 is a blockage on the bottoms with a bunch of peaks on the highs. Baer 880 is a blockage on the bottoms and a shelf on the treble. All these headphones are approximately equal in detail, but some create pseudo-details by playing with the frequency response. For example, a shelf at HF ​​at 880 and peaks at akg.

Speaking of details, I recently bought an Austrian audio hi-x65, they have real details, no matter what I do with the frequency response, the feeling of detail never fails. Therefore, I was finally able to equalize the treble so that nothing cuts the ear and at the same time without losing the previously mentioned details.

Pros

Just good headphones, if you like buyers or don't like everyone else, then a good option.

Cons

The blockage on the bottoms (sub) (midbass is ok) by ~ 5db, the shelf at the high frequencies by about the same 3-5db, because of which everything sounds sharp, often click and sibilant, actually because of it I can’t listen to them at high volume. Everyone who says that these headphones have more details than competitors either lie or get confused, confuse pseudo-details because of the frequency response. Positioning is good, but this is probably due to the same pseudo-detail (the mouth of the instrument is smaller due to low-frequency blockage and therefore it is easier to localize) The stage is quite large, but there is no depth, it feels like a wall of sound at a fixed distance. And now the most interesting - equalization. If you equalize them evenly, then you will not understand where all the details have disappeared . I have already described the answer to this dilemma above. As a result, I had to leave the highs pulled up, otherwise the 880 does not work out its position at all. Typical analytical headphones. 770 and 990 are the same, but with a sharper sound, so I do not advise you to look at them.
