" ... 4/5 sound. ... If you want positional cues for footsteps (and other minute sounds) you will want headphones with dedicated surround sound. ... You hear that rumbling sound? ... That sound is constantly present and noticeable when the headphones are in standby (e.g. ... no sound is playing through them). ... "
" ... The sound never feels fatiguing ... They don't try to make everything sound a particular way -- meaning recordings with rolled-off frequency response or low dynamic levels will be obvious, but good recordings really shine. ... I listen to a wide variety of music and these excel for them all. ... "
" ... Sounds awesome and super comfy for extended listening sessions. ... "
" ... But great for long hours of recording or listening. ... "
" ... The sound quality is great, it reaches all the frequencies! ... "
" ... Sound is good. ... It still sounds great without it. ... "
" ... Use them with a schiit magni amp + modi dac on my computer - excellent balanced sound from these headphones - nothing out of place ... "
" ... Immediately Senhiser, Beyerdynamic, and Audio‑Technica stood out. ... These headphones had amazing sound quality and comfort but the passive sound isolation was mediocre at best. ... I figured that the sound quality and comfort would be similar but the open back quality would allow me to talk with others while I played music. ... Beyerdynamic DT 770 (80 Ohm) - Winner ... Lows - A little closed sounding but overall they are handled well ... They perform the most similar to my pair of Martin Logan Motion 15's (bookshelf speakers) ... Audio Technica ATH M-50x ... Audio Technica ATH M-50x ... The open back design was also a plus for me since I work in a semi-quiet office environment and I could still hold a conversation with someone while listening to music. ...

" ... 5/5 comfort. ... The velour pads are comfortable and the clamp isn't too lose or too tight. ... They don't create heat the way leather/artificial leather ear pads do. ... Compared to leather headphones which cause perspiration within the hour. ... "
" ... The passive noise rejection and comfort are good enough that I occasionally wear them without music playing. ... The sound never feels fatiguing ... "
" ... If you do long listening sessions, get these, they are really comfortable. ... "
" ... It is a bit big, but hey, they are very comfy! ... "
" ... Besides having to replace the ear pads once. ... "
" ... I figured that the sound quality and comfort would be similar but the open back quality would allow me to talk with others while I played music. ... The headband is larger than average to distribute the pressure. ... The clamp pressure is also a bit more than average but this was not an issue due to the soft, replaceable, ear pads. ... I believe this is made worse by the lower clamping force since more of the weight is on the top of your head. ... More comfortable than the 990's. ... Significantly less clamping force than the 770's. ... "
" ... The best part is how comfortable they are. ... I can work a ten hour day and hardly notice they're on my head. ... "
" ... However, these sound pure amazing and are the most comfortable headphones I've ever had. ... "

" ... Nothing that wows you like VMODA's LP2 / M100's which features vibrant bass that literally shakes your headphones. ... "
" ... However, this is a Studio monitor, which means it will always be flat (which is great for mixing), so if you want some bass, you'll hear it, it just wont be as crazy strong like how Beats has it, but hey, as a musician who wants to hear everything, I use this for both mixing and personal pleasure. ... "
" ... Lows - A little closed sounding but overall they are handled well ... Highs - Similar to the 770's but rather harsh sounding ... Mids - Nothing special, no major issues ... Lows - Not as powerful as the 770's but more spacious. ... Lows - A bit boomy but very spacious ... "
" ... This didn't bother me because I prefer more treble in my sound, but when I do feel like I want more bass, I always have the FiiO A3's bass boost which gives it a nice deeper sound for movies and other things. ... "
" ... The have a bit more bass but it comes along with harsh highs. ... "
" ... These reproduce the sound fed to them faithfully, they are not bass boomers or rock guitar thumpers, they do have a wide soundstage and trebles are in no wise attenuated, and may take some adjustment in listening for many people who are not accustomed to such clarity up top. ... If I want rock or Hip Hop I switch over to my Yamaha MT5 for that, it is more bass boosted and mid heavy in comparison. ... Update: After 100 hrs these get richer in sound, the bass is less restricted and the top end becomes more natural. ... Unless you want heavy bass 24/7 you cannot find a better set of cans for the price point. ... mod MT5 - more bass, slighlty attenuated high-mids, pleasant top-end, excellent stereo imaging, articulate at any volume ... DT 770 - more controlled sub-bass, flatter passband, clear top-end, very good stereo imaging, articulate at louder volumes ... "
" ... The bass reaches very low frequencies and can kick hard (whenever the song calls for it) without any noticeable distortion. ... "
" ... Nice punch to the base, not to overpower to the extent to lose low notes. ... Mids: Very vivid and a bit overpower to my liking, although you will love the vibrancy and presence giving you a very stage like experience. ... Highs: They are there, you can easily hear them. ... "

" ... The price was 30% less on Amazon than my other go to store. ... "
" ... Other than that, the headphones are amazing for the money. ... "
" ... Now for just 150 dollars, we get better sounding headphones that will last just as long. ... It's a good investment. ... "
" ... I've had many brands I don't know, many Sennheisers, many Bose, and I will admit it, I've even purchased a pair of wireless Beats Studios (that I still use occasionally after 4 years). ... "
" ... Even AKG's at half the price point bare this feature, so why not these? ... "
" ... I would say for the money they are tough to beat. ... They are a good value for the money. ... "
" ... Very nice for the price. ... "
" ... I feel I made a good purchase with these mid-range-quality headphones in this price range. ... "

" ... I am awaiting for a case off AliExpress which prospects better dimensions and half the price of the Slappas. ... "

Highs - Similar to the 770's but rather harsh sounding ... Mids - Nothing special, no major issues ... Highs - Quite good representation, a bit cold though ... "
" ... Once I threw them on a decent headphone amp I was relieved that the mids weren't as recessed as I had feared, and the whole sound became much more lush and balanced. ... "
" ... The have a bit more bass but it comes along with harsh highs. ... "
" ... This means that it's balanced well with the mids and highs. ... "
" ... Mids: Very vivid and a bit overpower to my liking, although you will love the vibrancy and presence giving you a very stage like experience. ... Highs: They are there, you can easily hear them. ... "
" ... It seems like the frequency response is "V" shaped, that is, the bass and treble are boosted and more pronounced and the mid-range seems suppressed ... "
" ... The vocals are clear and distinct. ... "

The interchange-able cables with different lengths worked perfect for home listening as well as on the go. ... The cable is also thinner and more flexible than the Beyerdynamic cable. ... I really love the long coiled cable that came with these. ... To me this is the best option since I dont have to lug around a long cable or risk losing extra cables. ... "
" ... Unlike the MT5, the cable is hardwired. ... "
" ... The cable could be nylon covered for superior lasting, only comes with one set of ear pads. ... "
" ... The audio cable (3.5mm plug) is quite long and has a substantial cable diameter, and it is an attached cord. ... "
" ... The audio cord is plenty long as well. ... "
" ... The cable is nice and long but you feel no extra weight all parts replaceable. ... "

" ... So I've had these headphones for a few months now, I LOVE the sound. ... "
" ... However, I do not intend ever to replace these headphones unless they fail -- love'em. ... "
" ... I wanted to write a review because I’ve seen that most people that compare the 80ohm version and the 250ohm versions say that the difference is the bass. ... "
" ... Owned previous pair for more than 10 years. ... "
" ... I expect these headphones will be my go-to studio pair for at least the next 10 years. ... "

" ... You hear that rumbling sound? ... "
" ... It's leagues better than when I used to record music with open back headphones, but at high volumes there's still a bit more leakage than I had hoped for. ... "
" ... The 80ohm is perfect for protection without sacrificing volume. ... "
" ... I'll listen loud as I like and never bother anyone near me. ... "
" ... I found I did need an external amp to power these effectively (although these 80ohm cans still made it to decently loud volumes just through my iPhone 7+). ... I use the Fiio Alpen 2 e17k coming from my old iPhone 6 and they get ridiculously loud while still sounding extremely clear, uncolored, and spacious. ... "
" ... If no amplifier is used, the bass is almost non existent, the volume is very quiet, and the sound is muddied together. ... "
" ... My iPhone can power them to painful volume levels and it sounds simply great. ... "
" ... For those with sufficient amps, this is fine, though I hear the 32 ohm is overall harder to drive to the same quality as the 80 ohm. ... "

" ... Look no further these will suit your needs. ... "
" ... I DJ'd a lot previously so I definitely needed the closed back design from the Pioneers. ... "

" ... The old saying that you can't mix with "cans" still holds true, but these headphones sound the best out of any I've ever heard. ... "
" ... These also seem to have the perfect amount of clamping force on your head. ... "
" ... fits my head perfectly ... "
" ... Well these headphones are amazing no leak into my microphone I hear myself beautifully the fit isn't to tight nor to lose. ... "

" ... The noise cancelling pads also REALLY cancel out sound. ... "
" ... You get a very faithful reproduction of the sound, so much so, that in some old rock songs, I could hear some studio background noise and make distinctions of the rough cut edits that they accidentally left in because of inferior audio equipment back then. ... "
" ... Final Verdict : Great sound quality, noise isolation. ... "
" ... They isolate ambient noise well and help with immersion. ... "
" ... Not really useful for blocking out ambient noise, but they do help a little in that regard. ... "
" ... Not noise cancelling at all but do provide a good seal. ... "
" ... This is very good for noise isolation though fyi. ... "
" ... I am semi-audiophile, have owned & tried multiple Bose, Audio Technica, Sennheiser headphones, earphones, noise cancelling etc. ... Larger than Bose bluetooth noise-canceling headphones. ... "

" ... Its great when connected to a computer because you can just get up and walk around the room without taking them off, but its so annoying when finding a place to put them. ... "
" ... I would have been satisfied with the HD 599's but they were the only pair of headphones I could not drive with my desktop. ... "
" ... Great headphones for monitoring audio in camera and sound devices as well as casual listening on my iPhone and iPad. ... "
" ... They are also my go-to headphones for casual listening to music on my laptop. ... "
" ... I just purchased the 250 Ohm version for video editing with my laptop (MacBook Pro). ... "

" ... I have the 32 ohm version, and they sound great and can be used with an iPod or iPhone, though I mostly use them with stereo amplifier. ... "
" ... If you plan to primarily drive you headphones out of a mobile device the 32Ohm is the way you should go. ... My MacBook Pro drives my 80Ohm with no issues as well. ... "

" ... I am not one of these audiophiles who will talk for an hour about sound quality, but I listen to a lot of music - it is an important part of my life, and these headphones sound obviously better to my ears than any others I have owned, including Bose, Bowers and Wilkins, and Beats. ... "
