Excellent sound and comfort

The sound quality on these headphones is fantastic. You can really get a sense of a much fuller range of sound. It's pretty even across the highs, mids, and lows with maybe a small emphasis on the mids. So closer to a neutral reference/studio profile which I like, but is something to keep in mind if you're looking for a heavier emphasis on something like say bass or with a warmer feel. Nothing feels too weak though. The sense of depth and location to the sound stage is great as well. From what I gathered you usually have to spend more to get this level fidelity from makers like hifiman. I got them as an upgrade from my Beyerdynamic DT 770 pros and the difference is significant and well worth it. As a bonus they're also low impedance so you don't need a really powerful amp to get good sound out of them. I prefer to run them with a DAC/Amp but you could probably just use them with the built in audio jacks with most equipment if you want or need to. Oh and the cable it comes with is decent, but there's room to upgrade to a higher quality cable if you want with 3.5 jacks on either side of the headphones. The one that it comes with is working just fine so I'm in no rush, but you may feel differently. Also nice to have the option if your cables wear out but I think this is a fairly common feature at this price point. The headset itself is also really comfortable. They settle easily onto your head at a natural position and I never feel like they're putting pressure in the wrong spots or anything like that. Plus they look nice and have a unique aesthetic style with the rectangular shape and sort of honeycomb hex pattern on the backs that I like. Seem to be well made as well, but time will tell on that. So yeah I really like them. You may want different qualities from your headphones, and there are higher quality ones out there for a lot more, but If you ask me these are well worth their cost and I would recommend them to anyone looking for a good cost to value set of hi-fi planar headphones
