Excellent quality, absolutely not expected for such a price.

I was not going to spend that kind of money on headphones at all. I was going to buy others (very similar in design) for 4 thousand. But after listening to them, I realized that it was impossible to listen to them. Oddly enough, in the interval between 4 and 11 thousand, nothing more suitable was found, but after listening and feeling the Zenheiser, I realized that I had to take it.

As a sound source - iphone se (without AptX support) and Macbook Pro (supports AptX). I tested various music for more than two hours, I didn’t notice the difference between the presence and absence of aptx (although there is a feeling that “something is there”, but it looks more like a placebo or schizophrenia. If I turned away and someone else started playing different music from different devices, I wouldn't feel the difference, unless, of course, it's 128 kbps mp3).

Most of all I liked the sound in jazz and clical. I experimented with aac files: I launched parallel playback via itunes to headphones and home acoustics (an average floor pit with an amplifier) ​​and then put on and then took off the headphones. As a result, the sound turned out to be brighter in the headphones (rather, they simply do not hear the shortcomings of the compressed sound).

The working range is small - in the apartment no more than 4-5 meters. But I do not consider this a disadvantage, since I did not use bt headphones that actually work at a greater distance.

I am satisfied with the purchase, I am trying to convince myself that they are worth their money (if they cost 6-8 thousand, it would be generally good). But you have to pay for the look.

Pros

All liked it. Sound, excellent pive sound insulation (it’s sound, not noise, I didn’t try it in the subway, but it feels like it cleans the street at least 2 or even 3 times), leather headband with red sching, metal engraving, loops for a smaller broken wires at each earphone, rubberized holes at the exit of the wires from the rim, simultaneous connection to 2 devices. In general, it's nice to see that every little thing is thought out. Oh yes, and also a guarantee of 2 years, not a year, or even 6 months. - I add 4 days after purchase and constant wearing: Despite the added flaws, overall the headphones are good. I really like the sound - a lot of space, good b (even too good) for such sizes. True, on the first day after the previous headphones, my ears got used to the new sound, and when listening to some songs, it began to seem to me that the headphones were not so good, but in 90% it was addictive. Another 10% is a better sound compared to the previous ones, thanks to which jambs actually surfaced that were simply not heard before.

Cons

1. Headphones are not magnetic to each other; 2. The mid-high frequencies are slightly turned up, but here, as you like. Equalizer corrected if necessary - I add 4 days after purchase and constant wearing: 3. Headphones connected to 2 devices: a laptop (poppy) and an iPhone. I found a very nasty drawback: if I go somewhere with my phone and headset where she loses her laptop, she says "connection is lost", waits for a while to restore the connection, and if the connection is not restored, it turns off (as I understand it, so energy savings implemented). BUT! At the same time, she is next to the phone and sees it. You have to turn it on again. The first days I could not find a pattern, I already wanted to change it under warranty, but when I figured it out, I decided to test it again. I think the replacement will not help - it's in the firmware. If there is no goal to connect to two devices at once, this problem can be ignored. With two devices, the problem is solved through the : if I'm going to go somewhere, I disconnect (I don't delete, but just disconnect) the headphones through the bluetooth settings and the problem is solved. But still, it's inconvenient. 4. The headset is not for sports. I had no idea how hard she could hit her collarbones while running - unpleasant. When jumping on the horizontal bar (with her head up), she jumps off her neck, no matter how softly I try to jump. And jumping without looking up does not work. It’s easier on the uneven bars - you don’t have to lift your head there. On a bike during normal riding, it behaves perfectly, but when jumping, depending on the strength of the jump, it can just knock on the bones, or it can fly off. Just tie it with a rubber band. As a result, I remove 1 star in wearing comfort: 4 out of 5
