: solid bass, very neutral sound overall, INDESTRUCTIBLE
: a bit harsh sometimes, uncomfortable if you have big ears over long periods.
these phones are really the toughest ever made as far as i know. i would bet there waterproof if you sealed the earpad. clearly says "made in germany" on both sides of the headband and shells.10/10 build quality.
the sound is more neutral than anything. they are very good for rock, with thick meaty mids and bass. the treble is screechy at times for me but its not a major flaw. upfront sound stage but slightly better than some closed cans. bass is low extending and can easily hit freq. under 40hz. techno and electronica is where these shine along with rock. put on a bass tester and these will rattle your head with a good amp and equalizer. not as clear as some closed cans but they do present all the detail that is supposed to be there. overall for the price these are WELL worth the money. imo there is no other closed can better for the price.
