Customer Review

First of all:

Since I benefit much from reviews I would now like to pass on my experience.
Seeking a headset with a warm sound with a beautiful space, all frequency ranges to be (more or less) balanced reproduced without lowering the heights and with existing, subtle bass. But not so tuned exaggerated dark as it is fashionable in today's zeitgeist.

My source: Mainly music in AAC 256 kbit / s from the Sony Z3c.

I hear very mixed, electronic music (indie) pop (indie) rock (Symphonic) Metal, Jazz, Downtempo, Trip Hop.

Everyone takes sound was different and has different preferences, each player is music different. And then there's the song quality, lossless or lossy (MP3, AAC). I can only advise everyone: Test results and postings read but not buy alone after that but myself Pre-listening, listening, listening.

Packing:

A pretty, visually successful packaging, but also nothing exciting. 1 standard cable (unfortunately too short), 1 with Android Remote (only 1 button) 1 adapter to large jack.

Optics / Material / Design:

What a surprise, it is very easy. If one combines quality with weight, is, you first disappointed.
He seems well made, but mainly consists of plastic. It's ok, but could act a little higher quality.
Nevertheless, he has a nice, clear and modern design. Not overloaded.
An absolute no go: mussels squeak, and that with every movement. It's frustrating.
Plug and remote would also like to be able to be made of aluminum, the plastic looks a bit cheap.

Head Office:

It is the most convenient KH, I've ever worn, incredibly comfortable. However, he does not sit very tight, with people with a smaller head than I could possibly slip it.

Sound:

How it sounds? After so many tested headphones and so much disillusionment in some very expensive and highly acclaimed KH I'm curious.
Granted, even here there is no love at first sound. But, after much compare with the competition, it sounds right round and rich in detail. Finally someone, the responsibility for the zeitgeist, the heights of the bass were circumcised nor deafened. He has both, but matched beautifully, even the midrange. The promised three-dimensionality is clearly present, even a trace could be more pronounced.
For more powerful music like rock or hip-hop, he sounds a little too boring. However, classical and jazz friends are likely to be very well served with him as he strikes up very fine and not exaggerating. Even electronic music sounds excellent. Neutral it is, I would suspect, because who knows really how the song sounded in the studio.
But for me sometimes calmly, because I hardly hear classical music and jazz, rather Electro all types, rock, metal. Since I lack the kick, he does not tear me with really, it sounds a bit "thin".
But that's subjective. Nevertheless, I must recognize fair to say that he has a quality sound.

Conclusion:

Its sound is very balanced and rich in detail, with good space. Probably best suited for jazz, classical and electronic, rather less for "powerful" music like rock or hip hop.
Visually, it what makes her, simple, modern, (almost) noble. the plastic is not nearly so high.
What did not work, the plastic shells of squeaks with every little movement (Monday product?)
