Sono cuffie ottime, la prima cosa da dire è che non vanno giudicate subito. Necessitano un po' di ore di "rodaggio", non propriamente burn in perché basta ascoltare semplice musica, magari diversi generi, per rodare i driver, che dall'iniziale impastamento acquisteranno sempre maggiore pulizia, dettaglio, e separazione degli strumenti. Hanno un soundstage e una gamma invidiabili per della cuffie chiuse. Il sistema di appoggio può lasciare interdetti, ma di fatto permette l'ascolto per ore senza affaticamento. Al prezzo al quale vengono offerte credo abbiano un rapporto qualità prezzo invidiabile.

Great bass reproduction, doesn’t muddy up the mids. Highs are clean too. Fantastic for the price point. The pads though! They're uncomfortable with their way they taper off on one edge, this also impacts the isolation. I recommend picking up some third party ones (110mm round) that are at least 30mm deep

Having looked at many headphones to find a high quality well made & comfortable product for the home that does not rely on electronic gimmickry of noise cancelling. I also wanted to use it to listen to Hi resolution streaming ( Qobuz). I discovered this by searching across many reviews but most mass-market headphones these days are designed with Bluetooth & noise cancelling and has apps etc to determine the sound signature. This does none of that but produces a rich, well-integrated sound best listened with a DAC ( not essential as impedance is not so high it requires a DAC or Headphone Amp) Also, I did not want to spend hundreds of pounds as audiophile headsets with this sound capability often cost a lot more. (At least double) Let me begin by saying what this headphone is not. Unless you are used to wearing 53 mm domes, outside this is not the outdoor headphone. It also avoids high tech electronic noise suppression ( for that Sony WH - 1000XM3 or 2 range is fabulous). What this does well, is deal well with a wide range of music from rock, jazz, classical for home listening. Use with a DAC and it will be even better. I have used this with different range of DACS (Chord, Arcam, Marantz) and these have performed as well as my rather old but very expensive T5p These are closed headphones so you won't scare the cat or the neighbours. To keep the weight down the metal covering uses aluminium so you get some leakage but unless you are playing at very high volumes ( not recommended) you won't get any sound leakage. I found listening for a long period was not a challenge as the "headband" gave great support The overall feel of this headphone is that it is very well engineered with a good thick cable with two jacks. The size of the drivers at 53 mm gives this a spacious feel so the constricted sound that you get from closed-back headphones are not as evident in these headphones. In terms of value, this is a fabulous buy at £179 as the other headphones with this sort of capability are at least double the price. The sound signature is very similar to the now discontinued Bowers & Wilkins P7 but this one can play high res files. I would not say this matches the Beyerdynamic which is nearly eight times more expensive than this. Finally, the sound needs to settle down, so use this headphone for about 2-3 days and the quality of the headset becomes obvious. For the price/value/ quality equation home listening phones, I have yet to find one that matches these headphones. For that, it deserves 5 stars
