I was looking for a good helmet closed for less than 150. I stopped on it after reading many positive reviews. And indeed, he earned the praise that you wear it. The sound is simply excellent and very well balanced. To listen to the Flac is a pure delight. It is a bit heavy but still very comfortable even after several listens. Its earbuds do not take hot. They are also replaceable when worn. Its 3 m cable makes it suitable for audio-visual use, but less for mobile use (although possible, I'm using it also in transport). It isolates very well but still leaves pass the external sound in portable use. It is quite cumbersome when the transports but comes with a protective cover to prevent it from scratches. Its only flaw is its impedance which penalizes if plugs into a smartphone that does not have a very powerful headphone output. It is best used on an mp3 player connected to a headphone amplifier to enjoy all its power. A buy if you want a closed headphones, you will not be disappointed.
