The OKCSC ASH comes with a carrying case, cable, adapter and extra G-cushion style pads. The wood grain of the natural ash wood is pretty, even if mine had a few defects. it was okay, because I plan to sand and stain them later as well as change the headband. That is the attraction to these kinds of headphones, they are so customizable. I tried many different kinds of pads but found the original the best for me. The cable is a cloth or nylon and has a leather cable tie.

Sound:

I found the Bass to be almost neutral at times but when a songs Sub-Bass presents the ASH is no slouch. Bass has good depth, speed and weight. Mid-Bass has a tight punchy presentation.

Mids are full bodied and rich with a little warmth below and brightness up top. The forwardness and upper mid brightness can get a little spicy on certain music types and brighter tracks, but it wasn't painfully shouty or harsh.

Treble is open and airy with great details and sparkle. The highs have good energy without over doing it.

Soundstage and imaging are wide, deep and accurate. It's fantastic for gaming and watching movies.

After thoughts: The OKCSC ASH is a good value for people looking for a set of headphones that are wide open and detailed.
