Although I already read in some reviews, which is overemphasized the upper bass, I dared to buy. I focus only on the sound, because the rest is as described by others beyond any doubt (except that it's just plastic, the weight due). Just a Note to the comfort: for small to medium heads, it is the right handset. The enclosed cable is only about 1 m long. Now the sound. I have a 20 year old AKG K400. This plays very spatially, clear (not hot) and detailed, and very neutral. Bass can however not good because is not much, but very accurate. That's why I wanted to hear what has the past few years so forces. In short order, the tycoon has been unsuccessful in all tonal matters. The bass is totally overemphasized (z. B. Coldplay "A Sky Full of Stars" and others). The mids and highs are indeed accurate, but much less clear than in the AKG, as if a cloth is over it. It sounds altogether less rich in detail, probably because of the "cloth and the Bass". The space is opened the magnate ok, but again, the AKG more ... All in all, the magnate sonically no 300, - EUR value, if you would ask me. But for taste argue yes. Unfortunately, even today is often Musikabmischung Bass overemphasized selbiges grabs the Magnat it yet, well then have fun ...
