If you have a decent amp, go for it (10/10)
So right off the bat, yes they clamp pretty hard out of the box, but all you gotta do is carefully bend the metal bit between the headband and drivers. After loosening them up a bit I can easily wear these cans all day with glasses. Sound: I only own these and the Meze 99 Neos so I'm not as reliable as some of the other reviews floating around, but personally, I love it. They really are like VR for your ears. The highs are careful yet present, mids are beautiful, and although the bass has a roll-off it's still enough to keep you entertained (if you're coming from something bass heavy it could sound really weak for a bit until your ears adjust). Build: As for the build quality, I could sit on these and they'd be totally fine, but I don't advise sitting on *any* of your headphones for obvious reasons. The headband and driver housings are made out of a relatively nice dark blue plastic with black metal screen protecting the backs of each driver. Both the earpads and headband padding are this really nice plush, soft fabric covered foam that feel like the inside of a motorcycle helmet (but much softer). Advisories: If you're new to high end audio, then you will need an amp powerful enough to drive these. I use the Schiit Magni 3+ and it does a great job at driving these puppies. Overall: 10/10 from me, as my first taste of what open-backed headphones can do, I'm hooked.
