: Clarity, Soundstage, Separation of instruments, Bass
: A bit too warm. Missing the sparkling highs of the sr-80i. Headphones get uncomfortable after long use.
I was really shocked by the amount of clarity you get in these cans for the price after snagging it for only $30 on eBay, which normally go for $79 online. These are definitely the best for the price for what you get. Compared to the SR-80s, cans I used to own about a year ago, these are without a doubt, warmer than the latter, but I found them much easier on the ears compared to the shrilling highs of the 80. This makes for a much more comfortable and pleasing listening experience. I wish the highs were a bit more detailed, but for the price, I can't complain.
The soundstage in these is great. And being able to hear small details like cymbals crashing or the intricate details of a guitar picking is really extraordinary. Definitely recommend!
