Very good, but something is confusing
These were the first planar headphones I used, and I experienced a wow effect for the first couple of minutes of listening to them, but then I noticed some flaws.
Overall, the headphones are very good. Despite the drawbacks I will describe later, I listen to the headphones again and again. It is interesting to listen to music with these headphones.
What I like.
I like the soundstage, the sound depth. I like the mids, they sound natural. Resolution is also high, but without filters. The headphones are comfortable indeed. The sound isolation is very good.
What I don't like.
Bass lacks punch (which I think is common for planars). Also, there is a bit more bass below 100 Hz than I need, so the bass line is too noticeable than it should be. I would say that the bass takes away attention from the rest of the music.
Trebble - extremely much. I thought that my DT 770 was bright, but this one keeps Beyers behind in this way. I only use the DCA with 2 white filters installed, which makes trebble more pleasant. Even with the filters, I am often surprised by how many "S" sounds are in songs. Nontheless the overall sound feels warm and soft (I think this is due to increased and extended bass).
Mids - they are recessed, I would like to have them more forward.
I used Hiby R3 II balanced as a source, as well as a standalone power amplifier (which drives my bookshelf acoustics up to 100W), but the sound was the same in both cases, so there was enough power.
Perhaps I could fix the sound with EQ, but I don’t use EQ as I’ve got several headphones and IEMs, so I don’t want to switch between EQ settings every time I change them.
The headband loses, so I have to fix it again every 20 minutes.

Sound and comfort
This headphone is already outstanding straight from the box! You don't need to use it for 100 hours to get an audiophile effect, it is engineered exactly like it is. I guess by the time I reach that number of hours it will be even more impressive. This is a family headphone: not only me fell by its allure and enchanting sound, but everyone else it touches their heads!

Great closed back planar magnetic headphone at a good price
I have been loving these headphones as a closed back compliment to my HiFiMan Edition XS Planar Magnetic headphones. I wanted a closed back set with the same type of driver without an eye watering price and these have not disappointed. I use a FiiO KA17 USB DAC/Amp to drive them and they have been very enjoyable for both music and gaming. Great detail retrieval and separation, good SLAM and the isolation and comfort is 10/10.

Super comfy and well made
The simplicity and quality of build as good but comforts is absolute best. Sound is good but definitely not exciting. Was expecting more bass as it's close to Harman curve. Still good. Lots of instrument separation but stereo spread seems narrow.

Low Quality Control
These headphones sound good with a good soundstage for closed-back headphones and are super comfortable. However, I've had these for little over a week and already the headband broke because they have a screw going into a cheap plastic piece that bears the weight of the whole thing.

Great balance and separation!
Amazing value, some of the most comfortable headphones I've used. They sound amazing with some good power behind them. I'm not a huge audiophile, but these are great if you want a good balance with no sacrifice in the lows, mids or highs. Each has room to shine and that is my favorite thing about these!

Great Sounding, Headband Broke
Great sound closed back headphones, no EQ needed. After 2 years of normal use, one of the metal bands broke making it painful to wear unless with a hat (tape doesn't work well) =(

Amazing sound
Coming from Sennheiser HD6XX these sound really amazing with great and balanced bass that was a little lacking on the Sennheiser.

Like macrodynamics and 'slam' - these are not the headphones for you.
Accurate frequency response and seperation -especially for a closed back. These are the good things. Unfortunately these are completely lifeless and not good when you actually want to enjoy listening to music. They are really a bore of a headphone. HD650 completely destroy these when it comes to macrodynamics. There is no punch or excitement here. Look elsewhere if that is your thing. I should have.

Closed Back Greatness
In a market that is unfortunately limited in great closed back options, DCA consistently delivers great headphones, with these being no exception.
