Everything is fine, there are only minor drawbacks.

I took it specifically for games, and they are 100% justified. The lows are needed only for the atmosphere, but due to the good mids and highs, and the large stage, they provide excellent positioning, you can easily determine the directions. They work great with binaural sound systems (built into Windows, Dolby Atmos, DTS:X) and other virtual 7.1.
Nuance - if you are not alone in the room, you may not like open ears.
For music, you should take it only if you don’t need a clear, collected bass.
They will probably go to control the mids and highs in the mix, but the pros will figure it out without me.

: In games with good sound, they are truly divine. Directions to sound sources are determined very accurately. In foreign forums, they are considered one of the best gaming headphones.
From music, they are not suitable for metal, there are not enough bottoms. Equalizer saves, but not completely. It does not improve their quality, only the volume.

Pros

Great sound, especially mids and highs huge stage Pretty detailed Great bass depth Comfortable to talk in them - you hear yourself well

Cons

The bass is very quiet. It is corrected through the equalizer, but IMHO they lack details and dynamics. The design is terrible in terms of survivability. The arcs are plastic, the headband is held in tension with elastic ropes, thin plastic is everywhere. Seriously? The wire is not removable. They will require a sound card / amplifier, they are just a little bit right, but there is not enough power from the built-in or phone. The fit is quite tight, presses, and round ear pads do not fit the shape of the skull at all. We will consider the victim for the stage.
