    These can be finicky to dial in, but once dialed in they sound amazing. Im not a professional musician nor am I mixing anything with these, but they do provide some appreciable value for mixing. They will definitely let you know if theres too much of anything in the mix. Too much gain, too much treble, muddy bass. These do seem to have pronounced bass and treble. I personally use these for more critical listening of music. My records sound amazing through these headphones and they sound pleasant with a DAC and headphone amp with my Samsung phone. I like the open back design so I can hear if my dad calls me for help around the house. Last but not least, these are comfortable and lightweight for the design.

    I debated for a while before pulling the trigger on these, especially coming from Sennheisers and not knowing if it would be the right move. I'm glad I did—these are hands down the most comfortable headphones I've worn. The sound is crisp, clear, and incredibly accurate. Definitely a 10/10 purchase!

    I've recently had problems with other headphones causing latency/late/delayed responses, are these headphones good for solving my issue? I don't want any sort of latency when trying to record with my instruments.

    Open Reply - Gear-Support
    I’m very sorry. Your question is not clear. I've never heard of latency issues with hard wired headphones.

    Can you try these in store? If not where else can you try open-back headphones in store?

    Yes. Most stores will have a section of just headphones.
