I wanted closed headphones - I bought closed headphones. Already open. The price is acceptable. I have the Romanian version. The serial number is not printed in Romania, I wonโt say what year. I'll try to find fabric ear pads. The wire is really weird. Bought for home listening. Source - phone. The volume is about 75%. In general, I recommend. If for home, closed, for lovers of deep bass (not like in schoolkendi)
