Pros: Nice aesthetics, cheap for an ANC, plenty of bass
Cons: too heavy, sweaty, strong clamp, expensive for what it is, ANC feature doesn't work very well
I'm a production manager, but focus mostly on sound engineering. I install and tune a lot of P.A equipment, and also mix live acts in :

- live venues,
- concert halls,
- bars, and
- nightclubs.

I've taken a huge liking to headphones, and IEM's in particular. I like the idea of having my own personal PA system, that I can take with me anywhere. Especially with Rockbox being in such advanced stages, and such great low-impedance portable amps coming out, you can really seem to get any sound signature you wish out of a portable rig.

Couldn't find much on the internet about these, so I took the plunge.



 



















 



Pros:




  1. Nice aesthetics



  2. Solid build quality



  3. Cheaper than Bose equivalent, looks and feels nicer, has a bassier signature.



  4. Great packaging and accessories



  5. Nice cables, feel durable



     





Cons:




  1. Heavy



  2. Pads are not comfortable, will make you sweaty before too long



  3. Pads sit "on" the ear, are not true over-ear headphones



  4. Whilst cheap for an ANC headphone, still too expensive for what they are



  5. The noise cancelling seems to do very little



  6. I have a feeling the wood panelling is actually fake, I was able to bend and peel it with ease



  7. Far, far, far too much bass



  8. Hollow, lifeless mids



  9. Dimmed, strange highs



  10. ANC feature crushes dynamic range, and raises the noise floor to an audible level



  11. Same Micro USB port for both charging and listening - you can not use these whilst charging.





I just returned these to the store for a full refund.
