Everything about the product satisfied me, the price is perfect.

They have some unique features that no other earphones have, so for me this purchase was worth it. You buy these headphones not when you are looking for a bank for the buck, but when you are ready to pay any amount of money for a thing that will suit you perfectly. In terms of design and comfort, I have not seen anything better. In terms of sound, this is audiophile tuning, aimed at making any music of any quality sound excellent in them, and as a side effect - there will be no absolute transparency and neutrality in them. It feels like an isolated cinema with upholstered furniture - all the sounds come from afar and fill the whole space, which is very spacious, but the boundaries are still felt, and the sound seems to resonate from them. This is best suited for movies and video games, as well as music with a concert atmosphere, best electronic. Specifically in video games, they are incredibly impressive, in terms of how they depict the space of this series of headphones, there is no equal. When compared with planars or electrostatics, they absolutely lose in sound purity, even to cheap options. Compared to 800/800s, these have more accurate tuning, especially in high frequencies, because of which you can listen to them much louder and not die. There is also more bass, but it is not neutral, and slower. The sound is more compressed, the scene is smaller, but if you do not compare them 1 to 1, it is still very worthy. Unique thing. Doesn't disappoint in any way, but what really makes them stand out is the soundproofing combined with the size of the stage. Nevertheless, it should be noted that for this money you can buy, for example, basic 800 for games + planars for music + something closed against neighbors. It's the same as the 'all in one' option, but for most they won't be the best at everything. But personally, I am delighted with them, and these are the only headphones I have that I definitely do not intend to sell or upgrade to something.

Pros
  • Design, comfort and sound - personally for my very subjective taste, in the aggregate it is the best that I have seen and heard. Closed headphones with a very spacious stage - they have no analogues in this
Cons
  • Price - there are headphones 5-10 times cheaper that individually have better bass than these, or better vocal reproduction, or better neutrality, but not all at once. Vocals need to be raised with EQ, without it they sound pretty faded.
