> 24 hourBy way of background I have many headphones in the same cost range. Beyer dt990 and 880, senn he 599 and hd660s, any 702. I like something about all if the above. I also have a bose and senn bkuetooth headphones which I like less due to the closed back leaving to hear and narrow soundstage .

> 24 hourI was a little unsure of these at first, but they have continued to impress and I definitely recommend them - especially for this price point and/or you havent tried open-back headphones. The ear pads were kind of itchy at first, but they arent anymore (took maybe 20-30 hours of wearing to be fine). These are comfortable enough that I can wear them literally all day and arent bothered by them like I am by headphones with leather/vinyl ear cups. The sound is better than expected, much better than expected at this price point. They are a touch bright compared to other warm headphones, but to me they seem lively rather than harsh. Bass is far better than expected. Certainly not boomy, less pronounced then closed-backs, but still fairly full. The most impressive thing to me (that I never really heard on other headphones) is the sound separation. All the instruments are so clear and distinct, the soundstage is wide (especially compared to closed-back or earbuds) making the sound feel very immersive. This aspect of the sound quality blew me away and has made me truly appreciate music far more than ever before. I imagine most open-back headphones are similar, but these seem like a great balance between a lively, fun sound (not super flat, but not boosted like Sony), separation/sound stage, and tight but full bass. Hard to imagine getting much better sound without spending several hundreds of dollars more.

> 24 hourI really like these headphones. I used to use Audio Technica m40xs and these beat them by a long shot. That being said these come with the disadvantage of portability. They are huge, they dont fold, and are kinda heavy. They are comfortable, they fit very nicely with the suspension headband and they do kind of disappear if placed correctly. The headband has to go on the very back almost at the incline of the head. Now, for sound, I think that for this price range of $100-$800, you wont find a better bass response in headphones. While it can be a little much at very rare occasions, and I mean very rare, it is flawless 95% of the time. It is rich, impactful, and not muddy. It is very clear and you can hear the articulation and complexities in the lower register. I personally really enjoy all genres on these headphones but I would argue that its weakest genres are rock and metal, and that is because of the bass blended with the distortion, for the rock/metal sound you kinda want a recessed bass response. This is because it is hard to get a rich tone out of music that doesnt have it. This is more so for metal because of the use of extended range guitar and heavily distorted bass. The main response of the low range changes, therefore the music needs a different sort of headphones. Now with all that, these headphones will be enjoyable to listen to, but like I said metal is a small weakness, all be it a small one, they are not unlistenable, they just sound a little bit bloated. I would recommend eq if your primary listening is metal. Rock is only an issue for some minor tracks, not everyone will be affected. Classical is enjoyable, but it wont be as rich as peakier, the high end of the sound spectrum focused headphones. ex shp9500, 6xx. Also, these can be bought for cheaper elsewhere, tho, they are still worth it, even at this price.

> 24 hourWide open is the best description of these headphones. The bass also feels punchy and powerful. The best headphones Ive used so far for movies; even better than the excellent budget Phillips SHP9500.

> 24 hourI bought these for myself for Christmas and my Birthday combined, I was very excited to receive them as my current headphones are quite old and broken. It seems I got my hopes up because the package was lost, which is fair enough, it happens. But I contacted Philips directly and never received a reply. Poor customer service and very disappointed.

> 24 hourThought I was getting a bargain with a used pair or headphones. It turns out the headphones are missing two important parts, the ear pads! These ear pads are no longer made by Philips and third party replacements are not of the same quality. In order to get a complete working set of headphones this will now cost me more than had I purchased brand new. For anyone reading this, double check the small print.
