TechPowerUp

Very good value for money
Good example of U-shaped tuning
Bass response is engaging with good slam
Scales well with sources and EQ alike
Decent ear-gain compensation accounted for
Treble response plays well for most genres
One of the best planar timbre I have heard
Detailed with good instrument separation
Good sense of space with a tall soundstage
Imaging is excellent, albeit mostly in the front
Very comfortable to wear with plenty of pivot and swivel options
Most parts are easily removable and replaceable
Useful accessory set includes two cables of differing lengths and a carry case

Vocal rendition feels wanting and uneven
Air in the >10 kHz region can be somewhat jarring if you are not used to it
Imaging is so-so for all but in front
Clamp force can be too low for small heads
Build quality can feel wanting

MMORPG.com

Excellent mid-range presentation
The bass can be downright surprising when it comes in low
Easy, fatigue-free listen
Lots of detail - exceeding Sundara, approaching Ananda
Wide, deep soundstage

Headband can be uncomfortable after a couple hours
Sundara still challenges it for overall value at current prices

4.5

Headphonesty

Tuning, sound quality, and overall performance are stunning compared to most headphones in the sub USD$500 range
Highly refined, balanced sound profile
Very easy to listen to and non-fatiguing, despite high energy
Design, build quality, fit, and finish
Long-listening comfort with spacious ear cups and pads that breathe freely
Excellent for BHC (Big Head Club) members
High dynamic range
EQ is unnecessary to enjoy most music
The included cable and headphone stand

The open-back design may be an issue for those in louder environments or with others who don?t want to hear what you?re listening to
Requires more power than a mobile phone can provide to perform at their best
For critical listeners who love treble and detail, the XS may be a touch too smooth compared to some higher-priced options
XL size ear pads and solid headband may cause poor fit issues for those with smaller or pointier heads
No carry/travel or protective case
