One of the best offers, glad I bought it.

I have already bought a second copy of the headphones, they work perfectly (I broke them by kicking them drunk).

The ears themselves are well suited for metal (if the recording is of high quality) and work absolutely better than all analogues with electronic music. Using straight hands to set up the equalizer can achieve a deep and strong sound, at the same time, low-quality grindcore or black will listen to porridge.

Headphones for their characteristics work for about 20 hours, you can charge while listening via cable. The assembly is very good, the headphones themselves wrap around the ears with their deep soft ear cushions.

If you like quality things and you love electronic music, but also want to get rid of wires, then this is your choice without options.

Pros

- Clear sound with bass - Excellent soundproofing - incredibly soft, beautiful large ear cushions with the most delicate leatherette, the ears just fall in there - 40 mm drivers, very strong, but not suitable for all sizes - Fresh version of bluetooth, periodically new versions of headphones come with an ated bluetooth module - Convenient controls: volume control, extra bass button for disabled people who do not know how to use the equalizer, volume rocker - NFC support, just put the phone to the right earpiece and everything will connect by itself (not on iOS, it is prohibited by Apple there) - Presence of a 3.5 mm jack for listening via cable - Reliable metal frame on the rim - Wear-resistant body materials - Battery life in continuous music mode for about 20 hours, i.е. they were enough for two working days + driving time from home to work - Ability to choose a color between charcoal and red scarlet (red is great for women)

Cons

- The ear pads began to tear inside after two years of use, the price for them in the official service is more than 9,000-10,000, while the purchase price in the fall of 2022 was 8,000! I had to buy Chinese ones on aliexpress and rearrange the foam - Despite the durable design and withstanding many drops, the headphones were broken after 2 years in the area of their turning part, where there is a plastic hollow pin with a cable inside. This is a deliberate design defect. In addition, friends broke the mount itself near the turning part upon impact. I recommend buying a case for headphones, there are a lot of them on aliexpress. - Originally bluetooth 3.0, now ated to 4.1 - Headphones due to the size will not sit on a small head. Alternatively, you can pay attention to the younger model Sony MDR-XB650BT - Bad microphone and its optimization. You will be able to talk on the phone, but your voice quality will be poor or you may not be heard due to noise/wind. In this case, this is not a headset for talking, but wireless headphones. - No case included
