I originally bought these because I wanted to switch from IEM/earbuds to headphones for better comfort, but these didn't work for me at all. The clamping force felt quite strong, and even after using them on and off for about a month, I never got used to the pressure. I also started feeling some jaw discomfort/pain, which made it difficult to wear them for longer sessions.
The Sound presentation wasn't something I could get used to. It didn't feel natural, and a lot of things sounded completely off to my ears. The higher frequencies came across as sharp, irritating, and tiring, even after trying to adjust them with EQ. Listening with them became exhausting, which defeated the whole purpose of switching to headphones for comfort...
in terms of build, the plastic made noticeable creaking noise when putting them on/off. I also noticed that the earpads developed a greenish taint after the headphones had been stored unused in their box for several months which was disappointing it hasn't even been a year..
Overall, these headphones didn't meet my expectations in comfort, sound, or build quality. This is just my personal experience. I even tried giving them to friends/family, but everyone who tried them commented on the clamp and didn't want to keep them. They have been sitting unused in their box for months now, and honestly, I would send them back even without a refund if that were possible, because I have no use for them and they are just taking up space. Considering I paid 331€ (Including Tax), if there were an option to give 0 stars, I would...
