Comfortable and reliable
Fit seems tight at first but they're not head-squeezers. Light build and so far haven't become fatigued wearing them. Frequency response feels even across the spectrum. I have confidence in making mixing decisions with these headphones.

I've never left a review on a product before but this one made me do it!
TLDR: If you are looking to get into being an audiophile and don't know yet? These are a great starting point. Maybe you just need a gaming headset and not worried about a mic, the imaging is way better than dedicated gaming headphones. AMP/DAC is DEFINITELY and HIGHLY recommended to get the most of them. After owning the G633's for about 6 years and then a g pro x for 4 years, this headset is my first departure from 'gaming' headphones and it was the best call. Watching tons of reviews prepared me for the loss in that fun boom bass factor from the other 2, however I was not prepared for how flat they actually are. Thankfully I obeyed my gut after reading the comment suggesting to use an amp. I got the K5 Pro's to pair with these and man...motherboard outs will never do this set justice. I tried them without an amp/dac before that arrived and used equalizer APO with peace GUI and honestly they were just okay (Comparing that wow fun factor from the logitech headsets), very clear and flat. Moving them to the K5 was a day and night difference. After a bit of tweaking for my taste and it was another level completely. Definitely agree that yes you probs wont get that full wow bass experience compared to a gaming headset BUT you will quickly fall in love with the quality over quantity. Really. That quality of bass is amazing, a lot tighter and clearer without sacrificing brightness. Recently suspected I was an audiophile before this headset, now I know I am XD! Staging, imaging...everything is...<3. As a beginner, in my opinion, these paired with the K5 are a great entry point without breaking the bank. Also believed Spotify quality was good but after using these...nah - DO NOT use Spotify with them for analytic listening...you will think the headset is terrible but really Spotify doesn't come remotely close...24Bit FLAC on Tidal will solve this. Soundiiz made the switch smoooooth asf!

Amazing
The open back design makes the sound unusually neutral compared to other headphones, and gives an illusion of hearing the sound in a room as opposed to right up your ear, fit for gaming I'd say. Another thing is that outside sound can be heard through these headphones, so you can easily converse with someone coming into your room/office, this is only bad if you live in a noisy environment, oh, did I mention that the sound is ridiculously high quality? Another positive is that these headphones are no bullsh*t, you plug it in, and it works, no dumb manufacturer software or drivers needed, just need the hardware to drive these things.

Great headphones for the price
Sound quality is amazing. Very detailed headphones with tight bass. Pricing is great, better than any other headphones of the same quality. Brilliant for both gaming and everyday use.

Excellent Audio Quality
I use these for gaming and music production, the sound quality is awesome. The reason for 4 and not 5 stars is that the cable is 1.8m despite being advertised as 3m, this is inconvenient as It cannot reach to the far side of my desk.

Smooth, Clear & Clean
Best headphones I have used. Upgraded from my 8yr old Audio-Technica M50x and was immediately blown away at the switch over difference on first listen. Great fit, build quality and comfort. Music and gameplay sound is a lot more smoother, clearer & cleaner.

Sennheiser HD 560s
Great Headphone! upgraded from sennheiser GSP 500 openbacks to these. They lack in the bass compared to the gsp500 but i managed to sort that with a little EQ. EqualizerAPO and tuned to a Harman signature. They are very comfortable, i watched a few reviews where people mentioend the clamping force is a bit much but i didnt find these too tight. Definitely recommend getting a dac/amp if youre getting these because they dont get loud with motherboard audio. (Igot the fosi k5 pro, cheap but effective) The sound stage and imaging are amazing with these, clarity is great.

Beautiful Audio
For gaming and music, this thing is absolutely amazing! The fact that I can actually tell where events are happening is just something to behold. It honestly feels like the the headphones are floating and not sitting straight on my ears. I 100% recommend these headphones :)

Incredible Sennies!
I bought these to replace my old Sennheiser PC350 headset because the microphone could no longer be repaired by Sennheiser as they no longer make the replacement cable for it. Before choosing these headphones I had also tried the HD 660S2 a week prior but ultimately decided on these because I preferred its more neutral sound profile over the warm profile of the 660S2. A warm profile is great for music, but didn't sound that great for everything else. These on the other hand are very balanced and sound great for all round use and when paired with a ModMic makes a damn near perfect gaming headset. My only complaint is that the cable is a bit too short my liking and it doesn't have an inline volume control, but at least it is detachable and can be easily replaced which a huge plus for these headphones.
