In fact, I was a bit skeptical because of the price before buying one can really expect much. But, far from it. The headset is tight (does not fall from the head when bending over) but is still totally comfortable during extended use. But most importantly, I feel the sound as very balanced. Rich bass but not dull, many ups and so a clear sound even at quiet listening. I hear a lot of music on Spotify & Co in high resolution and for those audiophiles claim that is perfect. Also: great processing but not as showy. The cable is sheathed with fabric.
