Unfortunately no comparison this headset is good, or even very good for this price ... I have two big sehnneiser at home, but in fact walk ca spot, this helmet is semi-closed, adaptation is a forecast, I love his open helmet. The only snag being "refractory" to the modernization of the remote this headset does not work with my very old laptop Sony (excellent walkman by the way) so the sound is mono if I do not put this adapter by remote control against works perfectly with the Apple brand products, or phones or mp3 / 4, which does not date from the age of K7 VHS. apart from that, the sound is perfect for the papi metal (Heavy, Power and melodic) I even spent my couz 'scratchy not bad (old Accept right now) on an amp of the same brand with Washburn and I struggled to get it back, really the same disease. For any self-respecting metalhead, I find that the item is of good quality, and if the remote control does you no good without taking the model. a good buy ...
