Nice try on the Sendy Avia clone, but I am not really a fan of it
I think the packaging was really poor on this headphone. The headphone's build was alright but the wood had some small defect when it came. The sound is alright but not really to my liking so I didn't spend much time with it in the end.

Very good easy listen
These headphones are well made (if anonymous!) with nice materials and a handsome wood surround.
The sound is well balanced and smooth .I am
listenng from an iPhone 11 through an Ikko Zelda and it is a full smooth sound with no extremes.
I particularly like the well shaped angled ear pads.

Warm and very pleasant sound. Good build quality.
My other headphones: Drop/Sennheiser HD-6xx (boring in my opinion), Drop/AKG K7xx (my favorite), Sony MDR-1RNC (not as bad as the reviews say, when I need a closed-back headphone), AKG Q701. Various lower-cost IEMs.
My setup: digital sources → Windows 10 desktop apps or Chrome browser→ TOSlink → Schiit Modi 2 Uber/Magni 2 Uber.
My favorite type of music: vocals with acoustic instruments
I was interested in trying a planar-magnetic, so this seemed like a good bargain – mid-level quality for an entry level price.
The build quality is quite good. Cast metal cradles, steel head bands, real wood around the earpads, metal grille on the outside of the cans. Hybrid pads – pleather on the side, fabric on the surface that touches your head. I haven’t noticed any plastic parts anywhere.
As the title of my review says, I consider this as my most “fun” headphones as it’s quite warm tonally. It seems to emphasize mid-range frequencies and maybe upper bass. Voices like altos sound very good on these cans. Treble frequencies are definitely diminished but still sufficiently present that you aren’t missing anything. The rest of the bass is more pronounced than my other headphones (but none of my headphones are bass heavy). I’m taking one star away, as I’m one of the strange people who like a more analytical sound.
I would say the sound-stage is average. Certainly not as wide as the AKG 700 series (which are famous for their wide soundstage). But probably wider than the 6xx's.
Some critiques:
1) After 3-4 hours of listening, I can get a slight headache from the clamping pressure on my head. I tried bending the steel bands, but they tend to keep their original shape.
2) The packaging leaves a lot to be desired. The black case it came in is very cheap, without any padding at all. The headphones barely fit in that black case. I was just lucky the product wasn’t damaged during shipping.
3) The pleather had an unpleasant smell out of the box. The smell went away after a couple of days.
But these critiques are relatively minor. Still a good purchase in my opinion. Again – mid-level quality for an entry-level price.

High quality
Not an Audiophie, but these are my favorites out of all the cans I own. ( Also own 6XX, Meze 99 noir.)

QC issue
This was my first headphone and being so, I don't have much off of memory about the sound. I just know it was an intimate stage with a bright tuning, felt bass anemic, and didn't feel like there was much depth to the sound stage. I did enjoy the sound from what I could remember though. There was channel imbalance at certain frequencies in the range which is what prompted me to return them. Also, the suspension headband was really noisy which was bothersome while I had them.

Great planars
Competitive sound - These punch way above their price in sound signature and weight. Heavily Recommended.

Poor build quality
Sound quality was very good, but construction is poor. The pivot mechanism on one of the ear cups broke after 8 months. The head phones got very light use at my desk and never travelled . Save yourself your money and buy a different product that will last a few years.
Drop will not replace these after 30 days, which is awful. So, buyer beware.

Enjoyable Vocal and Treble Forward Planars
3.5 / 5.0 , but can't do halves. Moving from 6xx and Fostex TH-X00 Ebony to these was quite a shock. Going from mid tone and bass emphasized headphones to something so treble forward took some acclimation and finding music that shines with these headphones. It certainly took some getting used to, but I found to me what these are best for, guitar-centric melodic metal. Things like Insomnium, Omnium Gatherum, and Nothgard absolutely shine on these and I haven't found anything close for these specific genre. The downside is they do have a very specific tune to them that with very dynamic music mixes leaves some to be desired. The other complaint I have about my specific pair is that one of the pads has already started coming apart. The outer edge of the pad appears to have slipped off whatever disk underneath was holding it in place. Having them for six months and already having that kind of quality control issue is frustrating.
