Disgusting, I don't recommend it to anyone!

They use leatherette on headphones, even though the skin there needs a few centimeters to cover the average 2022 salary. Indeed, a square meter of not the worst leather may be purchased for $1,000; did the Romanians truly feel bad about it? This moment. Two: The price simply makes them unaffordable. The Bowers & Wikings P5 sound no worse but are half the price at 2022 prices. China hosts the assembly. Sorry, but even Beyerdynamic produces headphones in Germany for a lot less money. Considering that the company is Romanian and that wages there are much lower than in Germany, I fail to see why it would be impossible to organize production locally and prevent the feeling of being duped. The ear cushions are always made of genuine suede or leather on the same customers; there are never any subpar synthetics. These are generally not worth their money at all; nearly all headphones in this price range from a regular brand like Live seem to be twice as expensive, although being half the price.

Pros
  • Extremely sturdy design, hardly no plastic, mostly metal and wood, should last a very long time. A strong four with good sound. There's also a ton of tinsel.
Cons
  • The ear pads' leatherette and the metal parts' final finishing, which are not of very good quality, give off a China aesthetic. Headphones cannot be separated because something seals the connection.
