Surprisingly great
They fit and sound like a pair of cans 2-3x their price. No major issues with fit or acoustic profile. I'm loving these, and they've given me a lot more confidence in future purchases with Drop. I mainly use them for listening or for an alternate flavor when checking mixes.
Let me first say that these headphones are INCREDIBLY good sound quality for their price point. I love listening to things and playing games with them. The biggest problem is the fact that they fit worse than an XXL swimsuit on a 90 lb model. No matter WHAT I do, they always get nudged or I turn my head too fast and the "seal" I've made that lets me really enjoy stuff will break and then I have to spend another 5 minutes trying to get the ear cups to sit just right so I can properly enjoy using them.
I'm going to be replacing the headband at some point, but the fact that they came out with this headband is disappointing, especially if they're not going to sit on your head. I feel like if I just looked to my side too quickly they'd fly off.
I'd normally dock one point but the fit on these - unless you've got a REALLY big head - is just painful.
I've heard a lot about these headphones being uncomfortable but took a chance anyway. I personally think they feel great and they're a HUGE upgrade sound wise.
As meany other reviews have pointed out these sound great for the price and when on sale they can be a enticing deal however they fit worse then any other pair of cans i have tried. They could fit a watermelon better than my head but after bending the headband a bit and fiddling to get them to seal they are the best sounding cans i have tried for less than $100. Overall worth the 79-89 dollars they go on sale for and worth the wait if they're not on sale.
Disappointed for this price, right can already dead
I'm not sure these are even worth the $79 base price, let alone the bloat from taxes and shipping. A common complaint is that these are too loose fitting. I have an extra-wide lightbulb of a skull, and let me tell you this thing is more loose than your mom on New Year's Eve, even on me. Not that it matters, because even if I squeeze these to a head-like surface, I can hear sound escaping just as loudly as the HE4xx open cans I got here. That was literally the only reason I bought this, to have a closed-back option that doesn't leak like an open back. Instead, I got a toy with a shitter sound stage, shitter quality, shitter fit, and NO isolation whatsoever. There is literally no reason to use this beyond the fact that the headband on the he4xx broke. Speaking of which, this one uses THE EXACT SAME FUCKING HEADBAND. Insult to injury, the L/R markings are tiny, slightly less-than-black letters on the headband on an otherwise symmetrical, black object. Took me 5 minutes just to find the fuckin things. Being a glorified toy, though, they are extremely light. So there's that.
[UPDATE]
I've barely had these for a fucking week and the right can has already failed. No idea why, just dead stopped and will not produce sound anymore. I tested my balanced cable, and that's working perfectly fine. These haven't seen ANY kind of abuse; hell they've hardly been used. I'm fucking done, I should have sent this back the day I got it.
SquidNinjaRMA'ed and finally got my replacement, and the fucking thing already has a part broken off in the fucking box. I'm never buying shit here again, I've learned my lesson about paying a little more for quality products from reliable sources. This shit is NOT it.
