" ... It is exceptionally good for classical or music with more focus on instruments. ... "
" ... Sound - It really is quite neutral. ... It sounds good, like it's been tuned following research and time. ... These are the amps that sounded the best. ... Conclusions - As someone who listens to music as a hobby and not a profession, I feel these are worth their asking price. ... I tried them with a variety of amps and I consistently found that higher output impedances are my preference for getting the best sound out of them. ... Heck, the Topping DX7 Pro gets these plenty loud and sounding good for most music around -20 dB in high-gain. ... "
" ... I also ordered a 50W per channel Emotiva BasX headphone amp and I'm sure those will make these sound amazing. ... These headphones will expose EXACTLY how your music was meant to sound by their artists' and will bring a smile to your face if and when you notice it (it took me a few days of listening to be perfectly honet). ... I prefer T50RP especially for listening to artists like Kendrick Lamar etc. ... "
" ... sound is crisp and clear. ... "
" ... Listen, I mean literally . ... "
" ... Beyerdynamics DT 880 32 ohm makes music sound fun and enjoyable at mid to low volume ( or loud if you want). ... These sound better than the headphones that I have that cost more than 1000 dollars. ... "
" ... This headphone is the best I have ever used, fits me better than Sennheisers which tend to have warmer sound. ... No attenuation of outside noises. ... "
" ... The sound quality is like nothing I've ever had before. ... "

" ... I chose these headphones after a week or so of research. ... This was a big selling point for me after reading other reviews and I can definitely spend hours wearing them without discomfort. ... "

" ... I have a larger head and these are the most comfortable headphones I own . ... "
" ... The phones are beautiful, well made, and very comfortable on your ears. ... These headphones are a paradox as they are built like a tank and feel good on your ears. ... In the studio the higher frequencies prevent an audio engineer from truly using these phones for any amount of time without experiencing listener fatigue as the highs are too bright. ... "
" ... Cause this headphone are semi open, So the impact of bass dose not damage your ears ... It safer for your ears. ... "

" ... They can produce nice sounding bass, but closed backs will always be better due to physics - and the same thing for noise cancellation - they naturally let sound in to sound more open, they really cant cancel noise. ... "
" ... By doing this it should make them a bit more forward and tighter with the bass. ... "
" ... Seems to have more bass than HD 600 as well. ... "
" ... The bass is the PERFECT amount you'd want from accurate cans. ... The bass with the OST sounded fantastic. ... "
" ... I am not a bass head so the bass is good enough for me. ... "
" ... Bass is ample and smooth, upper end detail is superb. ... "
" ... Big, open sound with a wide soundstage and detail. ... The bass isn't thick like it is with closed-back phones (it never is) but it's deep and clear. ... "
" ... BASS is big and wide deep but you need too adjust the EQ or BASS Boost for that. ... Cause this headphone are semi open, So the impact of bass dose not damage your ears ... "
