I'm impressed! Exactly the product deserves your attention.

I bought the headphones a couple of weeks ago and warmed them with pink noise for about 2 days, so we will assume that they warmed up.

The basses are quite elastic, the frequency response looks even - I didn’t notice any ups and downs at any frequencies. Sounds great throughout the range. At first, out of habit, such an accurate reproduction of low frequencies caused a headache, but after a day it went away (before that there were open g4me 360).

My player - Cowon x9 - pulls them at volume 37 (out of 40). Above is too loud. At first I thought that it would not pull, because. impedance 150 ohms, but no - swallowed and did not wince. (For comparison, audio-technica ath-m50 with its 32 ohm gives the same volume at 34). So you can use it as a portable device with sufficient output voltage even without an amplifier.

We managed to listen to both ONE and ZERO in the store. I couldn't decide between these headphones. ZEROs sound MUCH better than ONEs simply because they have quality bass. That's the whole reason. Yes, in ZERO, because they are closed, your ears will sweat. Yes, we will not hear what is happening in the apartment while we are sitting in them. But it all interrupts the excellent sound. The choice has been made. I don't regret it at all =)

Pros

1) Excellent sound. I won't say that it's extremely detailed, like in the HD650, but it's on a level and at the same time it doesn't put pressure on the brain as much as the overly detailed and clear HD650. That is, for long gaming sessions it is more suitable than the flagship HD650. 2) The ergonomics are amazing! And I'm not kidding now - the ear pads are so soft that they literally envelop the head. At the same time, it seems to be genuine leather, so I hope they will live for a long time. There is also a volume control on the right cup, which is very convenient. 3) Appearance. No comments. 4) Good quality cable in a fabric braid. The presence of a special one on it . I don’t know how to say . in general, a “Velcro clamp” to wind up the unused part of the cable. Like a tie, only reusable. Given that the cable length is 3 meters, this is a really useful stray. 5) Foldable design. I side with her, but, nevertheless, this is a plus. 6) Sturdy construction - nothing creaks or clicks anywhere. 7) Microphone with noise reduction. Speech sounds natural and at the same time there are no extraneous noises in it (there is not even a characteristic electronic hiss like "pshshshsh"). There is only a very quiet low-frequency hum, but I think it's my audio or coolers. Also, the microphone turns off if you just raise it, and, accordingly, turns on if you lower it . Convenient. 8) Soundproofing is simply excellent. So far - the best of all that I have ever listened to (and I listened to a lot). 9) See the rest in the comments

Cons

1) Let's start with perhaps the biggest drawback - the price. It's brand new, so it's overpriced. If the retailer drops the price from 10 pieces to 8, then it will be just a bomb, not headphones. 2) The microphone is not removable! I won’t say that it’s a very big minus, but given that the headphones look and sound just great, I would like them both on the street and in the subway. The ability to unhook the microphone would be in place. 3) The pressure on the head is quite strong at first, but after a couple of days the headphones break in and everything becomes ok (subjectively, since I have a big head) 4) See also the comment.
