all that being said, these are my first foray into “nice” headphones, let alone magnetic planars. The build quality is superb-they feel solid and the finish is very handsome. I love the matte blue on the ear cups. They are also very comfortable. I wear glasses and have not experience discomfort wearing my glasses and headphones at the same time, even over long listening sessions (2-3 hrs).
For sound, these headphones are sharp. The highs are are clear and crisp, mids are resolute and the lows are firm and commanding. they image well. Being open-back, they don‘t seal sound in your head, but they feel very spacious and, well, open. I have pretty eclectic listening tastes, ranging from classical to hip hip and just about everything in between. These have held up well to everything I’ve thrown at them. If you are looking for crazy bass-boosted headphones for listening to rap, I would recommend looking elsewhere. There is plenty of low-end heft here, but Beats these are not.
All-in-all, these are great headphones. If you catch the drop, pick them up! And then do yourself an extra favor and get a headphone amp like the Audioquest Dragonfly or Schiit Fulla 2 to get the best performance out of your new cans!
