Hello anybody ill try to keep banther to a minimum, but excuses in advance

I've purchased these cans most 2.5 years ago, to be exact the LE version in yellowish with the curt cablevision for 50euros. It comes with a pouch and small-scale-to-large jack adapter. Ive made keywords Bold-Italic to be a fleck easier for you to find them. Besides if i say something totally inaccurate/stupid please forgive and disregard it.

Audio:
Recently i had the opportunity to try out different headphones similar the Sennheiser momentum(on ear and over ear as well) the Denon ah-d600 and others. I take to say i was really surprised, the sound hands matches pinnacle shelf performance, though i have to admit that it lacks details of the sound that you hear with an expensive i, only i'd say for the cost it has nada to exist ashamed of.
I usually listen to EDM, but from time to time i pull out som Metallic, metalcore, and classic rock, and so the range goes from A-Z.
Overall the cans accept a sliight V-shaped sound, mids are a fleck recessed and so its non optimal for listening to archetype rock or similar music with more midrange freqs. I wouldnt say its bad, just you can feel it lacks a bit. Bass is really good,AND accurate information technology has enough punch to it and presence, only not at all overwhelming. Information technology always puts out equally much bass as it is needed. Mids as i said are a bit lacking if youre more into vocal music or classic rock you might have to consider something else. Highs are excellent, actually sparkly and crystal articulate, its a joy to heed to them. Even really highs are non fatiguing at all.
Overall its actually practiced i cannot complain.

Dissonance-isolation:
Considering of the over ear design it gives a really practiced seal. If you're listening to music on it y'all will Non hear any normal volume sound(eg.: talking, cars.) I lived in Budapest for some time and when i used it on the metro line, even with those ****ty noisy russian trams, information technology barely came over information technology.

Design:
Non much to say about information technology, either you similar the expect of it or not. Its non flashy, but information technology isnt ugly either, I like it.

Build:
Fifty-fifty though it looks similar its made out of plastic, it is really well built and is sturdy. Like i said i had them for more than than 2 years now, and apart from a bit of wearable on the paint(bc i didnt comport it in its bag, only threw it in my backpack). Also the band has a metal insert which makes it even ameliorate. OverallIt feels well built, never felt like i accept to be wary like its made out of glass. One of my earpads' leather cover just started to crack but that was considering of my use of information technology, the one i used properly held upward nevertheless, so
Weak Pointi tin say really is the cable. If you lot have a low price and you dont compromise on sound, you Will have to somewhere.The finish of the jack simply where it leaves the "rubbery bendy" function croaky up for me fully. 1, its a straight jack then you have to be careful with it if you apply it with a phone in your pants pocket like i did, if information technology gets aptitude a lot, it will break. I got a 5€ Neutrik fully metallic angled jack cable and re-soldered information technology on information technology, really sturdy hadnt had a trouble with it since. As well it gets tangled up all the time, i got to the point where there is always a bit of twist in mines...Also The LE has a 0.6m cable so you lot might have problems if y'all put your phone/actor in your jeans pocket. Im a minor guy i dont take issues with that only keep it in heed.

Comfort:
Every bit y'all might accept read reviews nearly information technology: Its actually bad from the beginning, and in time it will break in but fifty-fifty now the clamping strength tin make my head anguish later on extended utilise. The stock earpads are pretty difficult as well and with the clamp, brand new it will destroy your after an hour or less. It will get meliorate over time, the pads will soften up and y'all'll get used to it somewhen, but its its pretty bad that i had to requite my ears a five-x minutes of residuum from time to time. Also the headpand doesnt accept whatsoever padding at all, so by the time your ears become crushed, the top of your head will anguish as well, tho its lightweight it volition however hurt a bit. Luckily heat wasnt an issue even in the hot summer.

Conclusion:
End of the line, its a really practiced pair of headphones for the price, with overall sound quality, its a skilful all-rounder. Where it doesnt compromise on audio-to-cost information technology has to on the cable, and the comfort. I learnt to alive with it(yous can get used to it), and i love it. Besides if you're a chip of a DIY person you tin brand them fifty-fifty better.

Recommend: Yep
Would i buy it once again: Probably
