No in-depth reviews that I can found as of yet. Only one promoted "road test" from Front House mag at:
https://fohonline.com/articles/road-tests/audix-a150-and-a152-headphones/

Quoting the preview:

- ability to reproduce sub-harmonics, that additional bottom-end will certainly be appreciated by stage drummers who listen on headphones
- soundfield is big and wide and somewhat forward, so gamers and general listeners who are seeking an impressive listening experience with lots of “character” will tune into the A152s right away
- A150s is more like listening to a pair of linear response studio monitors
- great sounding
- Comfortable and non-fatiguing over long periods

Any experiences? Comments? I wonder who designs/manufactures these headphones for Audix?

Those look like m&o/rbh/urbanfun. There are alot of rebrands with that design. I have no idea who the original manufacturer is. I had MTV evos which is a bluetooth headphone with 45mm driver. It was quite good, especially bass was much better (tight/fast/punchier) than Price would suggest. But for overall soundquality I would not pay more than $100 for it.
