While people like to point out the build quality as cheap, to the touch these feel well built. I'd call the plastic a more medium grade light plastic, it doesn't feel like cheap plastic but it's not the most premium I've ever felt. But it's light enough that it's comfortable for hours of use ..even with glasses on.The ear cup padding is soft, but I have noticed they get just a tad bit warm after a bit of use. The clamp force is pretty decent, it's not loose but there's just enough force that they comfortably sit on your head without making you feel like your brain is being squeezed out.Sound: it's very detailed, the stageroom sits just outside the cups so it doesn't particularly feel in your head. The lows are there but they're slight subdued ..though not in a bad way, the bass is still weighty and a bit deep. But, it's not the kind you're swimming in. It's a very tight and defined bass. Bass guitar notes are well defined, a bit meaty and you can tell what note is actually being hit rather than getting a muddy mess. Drums are clear, punchy and cymbals are snappy. The mids sit on the neutral side, vocals are clear and defined. The highs also sit alongside the mids more in the neutral side but slightly rolled off enough to still have a lot of clarity and detail, but without it being ice picky and super sibilant where it causes listening fatigue. The overall sound is slightly warm but analytical rather than sterile flat, making these good all-rounders for whether your listening closely for details or just want a very defined but general listening experience, I'd argue that these could be used for mixing as well, I run these with a DAC/Amp for the best results.Instrument separation and placement is very good even with a bit of a simulated small room sphere around your head.I'm personally using the 1/4 end into the cup with the 3.5mm into a FiiO KA11 DAC AMP dongle, which I'm surprised the dongle is capable of handling the headphones. I also have a K11 desktop DAC/Am, which makes the sound tighter while also efficiently powering the set overall.As far as all that goes these are great, they do all I want, albeit I'm not even pushing it to it's fullest potential with the KA11 dongle and am still getting very good audio quality out of it. These are not meant to be run direct through a device jack as they won't properly be powered and will come off as thin, weak and low volume sounding. Using a headphone AMP is exclusively recommended for this set.Accessories: The case is a nice addition at this price range ..although it is kind of big ..like a football. But, it's solid and will keep your headphones protected and it also has a small cable pocket inside. (I'll personally be putting my headphones in a velvet pouch that came with another pair of headphones I got, which will be more space saving in a small backpack on the go).The cables are pretty decent, they feel higher quality. Still do the job though, I particularly like the coiled cable, but they include a regular straight 3.5mm to 3.5mm cable and the coiled 3.5mm to 1/4 cable. The coiled cable is usable is pretty versatile as you can plug the 3.5mm or the 1/4 end into the headphones meaning Instrument players don't need to use a 1/4 adapter to plug into and amplifier or anything that specifically uses that input, as a guitar/bass player this was a nice plus to me for practice use.

Durable and inexpensive

Comparable to the Behringer DT 900 pro X.Can barely tell the difference. Clean detailed pleasant highs, not ear piercing. Mids are a very accurate representation. Lows are not like Beats or Bose but very well balanced. Overall, a good flat response, great for mixing/ mastering. WOULD GIVE 5 stars but Amazon sent me open box product! 😠

I personally don’t think that there is anything to complain about . Despite the size , they are actually very comfortable. The cup material is very soft , can hardly tell I have headphones on . Build quality is great . They might have the look of low budget headphones , but trust me , they don’t feel like it , and surely doesn’t sound like it , either . With them having a high resistance , you definitely need an amp. I am using a Rockville tube head amp and these headphones are just loving the power . Could probably use more power , to be honest . These are open backs , but despite that ambient sound is hardly noticeable . Highs are crisp and clean , mids are warm and rich and the bass is smooth. They might not share the same price tag as some the other brands , in this particular category , but trust me when I say , they can compete very well with those brands .

I’ve loved using these and put about 100 hours into them and they sound great connected to a headphone amp

These wired headphones are really nice and have a very nice build quality to them. I've bought from OneOdio 4 times in total and their products have never failed me. I would recommend these headphones over their cheaper brown ones. The build quality on these headphones is better.

I picked these up for my recording studio I'm setting up at home. Problem was my audio interface really needed a high impedance headset, so I was very limited in what I could pick from.I really don't like open headsets like this, too much ambient noise, but at least in this environment it's still usable. The frequency response for me is fine, lows and highs, although with my tinnitus I have issues with high frequencies anyway.I was surprised at just how BIG you could get these. I have a large melon, and often I have things like this at the furthest stop to get them around my ears, so when I first put these on, I did that by habit, pulled each side out as far as it would go, and both ended up UNDER my ears. That's a first. So these will fit a wide variety of head shapes and sizes.I also like the material, since I shave my head, and any fake leather kind of thing usually ends up feeling moisture because it is sitting against the skin over time. This won't do that.

Amplifier not needed, the headphones are loud enough already out of box. Matches to the description.
