Plus: the good comfort even for my not quite small earcups. It is important that they are completely enclosed, to make the sound outside and the external ear or the ear lobe is not pinched anywhere. The asymmetric shape is adapted anatomically favorable. The skin overlying material is high quality and very pleasant. Audio quality from your MP3 player very well, even with only 128er quality, page separation more than 1a. The battery consumption (I use for environmental reasons batteries) is not an issue, the battery power consumption is very low, probably only slightly higher than the self-discharge.
Habituation needed: I use the headphones of course at home when my wife watches TV and I'm in the same room. The attenuation of the TV sound is of course not 100%, the physical might of the product description in accordance with, but in the perception (because the hearing ability of the very volume adjusts) probably only 80% pure. You can hear their own steps and your own voice much less than normal closed headphones. This is physically not possible, getting used to, however problem. I do not suppose that of other companies here can be achieved more. Furthermore, the almost complete silence is used to. Try the headphones even without infected cable (by listeners removable) with active noise attenuation from, it's really hard, just do not listen to the fan of the computer or other sources of noise. Tolling phone or direct approach with an increased volume of other people is still perceptible.
Neutral: the switch position for improving the MP3 playback in low mp3's hardly brings what. If that would not be, would it just as well. As already noted other reviewers before me, the audio signal is amplified by the electronics. But this is not a negative, sometimes you really softly mp3's and saves conversions. Is that the noise-damping effect caused only by the gain of the audio signal does not simply. Try out the headphones without an input signal and then switches the damping. The noise-damping effect can be heard immediately and really OK. The hard case is nice, but not exactly small. Whoever fears real space problems, with well-fitting in-ear headphones with silicone inserts also well served (but slip repeatedly out slowly and increase in my opinion, the ear wax production).
Minus: because I even in bed Use the date headphones to sleep, I always worry that I lie down on it and then something could go to break. But that was not the case until now. For absolute high-end purists (who I am, but depending on what is heard) is not recommended, but who anyway as I other headphones.
Recommendation: to operate the good pieces not only on the plane for a few hours, but also to allow the ambient sound in everyday life outside. The headphones just are worthy to be used more.
