I want to keep it short and simple here. If you want to hear the coughing in the back row of the orchestra, you are right with this headphone, and also if you have recorded music, where that does not occur, such as clean pop music that is so far followed up that you anything else hear, than what will be the record company to your ear. Have you however rather moderate shots of good music, buy better shots or another set of headphones. For other grades: The headset is good verabreitet, stable, comes with a handy little Aufbewahrzungstasche and has a damn good efficiency, as evidenced by low necessary volume on the playback device. This should also contribute to a good sound. The headset does not go over the ear, but sitting on the ear, I was previously not so clear. Conclusion: I will not listen to me now some of my CD's, at least not with this headset.
