I had the original hp100 and now these, essentially the same but with some minor structural and aesthetic improvements.
I would say the most impressive is it soundstage and imaging, its really quite good especially for the price and that it's closed. This also improves its detail as everything has room.
The bass is powerful. Sub bass is better than most and it's quite accurate, the bass is a bit less forward when compared to the sub bass but not weak at all. Due to the light sealed build it gives a visceral bass experiance that it really fun. If you are a bass head, I would recommend these, just eq the bass to taste. Electronica is bliss with these headphones. In fact I would argue these are the best combination of fun and detailed edm headphones out there. Super immersive.
Mids are its weakness but not bad by any means, just that some guitar and vocals can sound distant when compared to the rest. It's hard for me to put my finger on exactly but it's almost like if you had right left and center channels, the center seems a bit further away than the right and left. This is kinda the effect but don't let this turn you away because, for the money, these really are great.
The treble is sweet. It's sparkle full yet never simbilant. Dunno how but you get all the shimmer without pain, it's quite the feit.
Just listened to Hans Zimmer Batman and it's a treat. These headphones do bombastic like no ones business.
I find these quite comfortable, some find the cups shallow. They are light weight.
The biggest negative is the plastic Y section to the cups. I had this crack in earlier models and the design still looks the same but I inserted gorilla glue inside the hollowed seam that runs along it to add strength. Just in case.
I own Focal Elex, Grado 325e, Massdrop plus iem, far more expensive yet I still come back to these cheap Chinese for some fun pounding bass and honestly am not completely wanting for detail. That says a lot considering I paid just $140 Canadian.
Incredible bargain.
