The sound is great really similar to the Audiotechnica reproducing by their headphones. You have to remember that these headphones need a proper enough powerful amp (I’m using a Fiio M6 Hi-Res player and is not enough powerful).

These were bought due to a pair of Focal Elear failing and as they are 400 to repair I thought these were worth a try. Well to be honest I feel they are better the music seems to have a bit more room to breathe and sounds less like being outside the room with the door ajar. Very happy so far and probably suits my low-end system better perhaps. These are running from Bluesound node 2 into Cyrus amp out to zone 2 into Graham Slee Solo Ultra Linear headphone amp. I know I could ditch the Cyrus unit but it serves as an av bypass to use 2 speakers or surround so is in the chain for a while yet. Build of headphones good for the money cable a bit too short but I used the Focal cable despite 1 ring, not 2 rings as the 2nd is not in use so cable options possible. I don’t think you can go too far wrong with these I would highly recommend.

It’s a great pair of headphones that really suit the music I listen to. These were an upgrade for my existing setup and definitely need a decent AMP/DAC to run to their full potential. I would recommend it to anyone who wants a great music experience.
