Unsatisfactory quality, I won't buy it anymore.

Quite a nasty disappointment. I wanted to join the "audiophiles" by buying something expensive, but I realized that it's not the sound that is measured by money. Everything was heard both without an audio card and on the focusrite scarlet gen3. I compared, do not believe it, with seven-year-old koss porta pro, which in almost all major aspects surpass this audio equipment (sic!) In the forties, the sound is really more or less balanced and clear. They lack only the music itself, paint, drive. They are exactly what transmit the signal, just as dry and uninteresting as possible. You can also add these strange hisses at quiet sounds, the strange emptiness of the sound itself and poking at high frequencies. Probably they are worth their money, but in terms of pure sound and enjoyment, when all the instruments are heard, always heard and bright, they surprisingly lost to my old braids.

Pros
  • -What-no purity of sound is. -Really big stage -Includes two cords for different lengths and an adapter -Soundproofing
Cons
  • -If a quiet sound plays after silence, you can also hear the hissing playing unpleasant background appearing -Headphones TS-yuk, literally if a song has a lot of similar sounds, it will stab your ears -Sometimes the bass is modest, but clear, sharp. And sometimes it’s just a buzz somewhere from above, sometimes they growl in a twisted manner, as if they are walking along the sleepers. - General deafness of the headphones, the sound is not expressed in any way, unsupported, without colors. - The stage is certainly big and good, the instruments are calmly sorted out. But you, the listener, are like a hundred meters from the source. As if 60 headphone spaces are not used. - There is some artificial echo. That is, sometimes the sound does not go and the point and sounds on its own, but it starts to go from the point, and the continuation of its sound is added. -In metal parts, sometimes the most interesting moments are overshadowed by rhythm guitar or drums. It is directly clearly audible, just over and over again one or another piece goes after another. - They put pressure on the head just terribly, that the head starts to hurt. -It is sometimes difficult to pull such nimble ears not across.

I chose for a very long time by the amount of reviews on the market and by video reviews. So far, it seems, he has not lost. As expected, there is a little pressure on the top of the head, but you will quickly get used to it.

plastic seems a little cheap, but in fact it is very reliable
