Good not Great

Posted
By JoeDoe

Pros: Heavy duty construction, adjustable bass ports, stealthy looks, decent sound

Cons: Clamp, price

Out of the box, these guys are impressive. Killer looks, minimal packaging, obvious sturdy construction - in other words, German.    The sound was very good. They're easier to drive than most Beyer over-ears and they have a very good sound. I wouldn't say great. Coming out of my iPod Classic, the wider-than-average soundstage provided some excellent space for my live rock recordings. The bass was solid and got even better with my Fiio E5 - I imagine a heftier amp would do even better. The mids are so-so, not recessed in my ears but definitely not forward. The trebles were lacking, but they probably aren't supposed to be audiophile quality for the market these are targeted...

An uneven but interesting headphone, which needs a long burn in to get the best from them

By MichaelLaing

Pros: Decent sound, good bass, very comfortable

Cons: Very long burn in time, Not portable, didn't like pleather pads, mids slightly to regressed,

From what I have read the COP's there has been a very mixed reaction to the headphones, some love them and some detest them.  I have had these headphones for around two and a half months and have had a bit of a ride with them.  So here are my impressions and views. I am not going to get into the unboxing of these headphones, the packaging is ok but nothing special.  Really you don't get much with these headphone in the box.  Just an instruction manual, 3.5mm detachable cable and an allen key.  There are lots of other attachments that you can buy separately with more being released. Design and Practicality The look of the COP's is meant to be one of the...

Man was I ever disappointed with a headphone.

Posted
By grizzlybeast

Pros: detail. minimal leakage, soundstage

Cons: hollow, bass sucks, looks sturdy but not. could keep going

I need to try and be fair with these headphones. but its hard with such a disappointing experience.   Pros: pretty detailed minimal leakage! bass adjustment is not a gimmick bass quantity soundstage     Cons: hollow sound mids recessed  bass is loose with no real presence easily damaged with high volumes due to the thin membrane pads feel uncomfortable(easy fix) distorts at high volumes   Summary: I could get by if the bass was present and sounded a little hollow because it would fill up the sound a little. But I have heard other Beyers and recorded with the dt 770 and cant remember the bass being that flabby. Flabby bass...

Slightly dull, lack warmth and excitement.

Posted
By Mcmusicans

Pros: cant think of any

Cons: uncomfortable

Dont get why people are so excited about the ability to change the bass with the switches on the cups...for one you have to do it to both ears and they are very hard to move. if you have an amp/dac controling the bass that way is a better option for your headphone. These things totally dug in to my jaw.....put pressure on the eustachian tubes. The bass is totally untextured and sterile. Yes the bass is prominant but not in an enjoyable way. There was no sound stage or distinction. Sure, they are affordable but they'll damage your ears for sure.

Custom One Pro vs DT 770/80

Posted
By DemonFox

Pros: Very Portable, Comfortable, Great Value

Cons: Bloated Bass, Forced highs

              Clearly I'm not a pro at this but here goes something...    After not feeling 100% satisfied with my T 70's I wanted a little more Umph in the bottom end so I found great deals on the DT 770/80 ($149 new eBay- Contact me if you want the link they have more plus a 60 day return policy... Yes 60 days no questions asked) and the COP ($189 Amazon-Currently you can get them for $162). I'm still not finished with the testing but so far I do agree with what some have said so far. The DT770/80's have a much crisper sound than the Custom One Pro's but thats not a knock against the COP which I like but it is...

Contemporaly headphones from venerable German maker

Posted
By beyerlove

Pros: Customizable appearance, customizable sound, great bass

Cons: slightly recessed mids, not bright highs as their DT990PRO

Great headphones for lovers of rock and dance music, especially contemporary recording ones which contain lot of around-40Hz bass sound. One of the most bass-headed cans among all beyers. Easily worth the current price 199USD, but this is not for fans of flat cans lovers, treble lovers.
