I've worked in film productuon for years and have tried and had several different headphones. These are among the best I've had. Good bass, luscious mids and good highs. For the price you're not likely to find better sounding cans. The velvet-like pads are really comfy too.

I broke and old favorite pair of headphones and needed a replacement, but I didn't want to spend a mint-ton. The sound of the semi-open headphones gave me great sound and ability to hear the details for the fine-tune editing I do. Surprisingly good for the price!

I use these to practice with my electric cello so I dont disturb the neighbors. I wasnt expecting much from them with the low price, but was pleasantly surprised. They are also very comfortable.

Specifically designed for studio use, these are the perfect studio headphones! Light weight, semi-open so you don't have to keep taking them off and putting them back on to listen to the production and carry on an in-person discussion. YES!

Insane headphones for the price, super fine detailed, well balanced. The build does feel a little cheap but nothing feels like it will break easy. My advice to anybody who buys is purchase nice replacement ear pads and then they are perfect.

For its price class it's great headphones. Good dynamic range. Long cable. Light. But cable is not weighty and pliable like high end. Open headphones still not totally airy. Dynamic range favors high end more than low end.

Very similar to AKG 240 headphones, with better earpads. Overall pretty balanced, but with a fairly forward mid 2kHz range so not totally flat. But fun to listen to, and VERY comfortable for long periods. Great value.

They do the job well.

Bought these after researching headphones that are good for mixing. These are inexpensive and aren't for someone looking for loudness or low end. But they don't color the sound of your tracks. Would definitely recommend for anyone looking to mix with headphones.

The headphones have worked great for video editing. The only thing to remember is that they are open-back so the sound can leak out. But other than that the sound is great and it was well worth the money!

Sound quality is quite good for the price. And the construction isn't bad. They look like AKG's but are not made with the same kind of quality materials, but that's OK - they are much less expensive, sound decent and are comfortable to wear.
