Review: Great home headphones, beautifully made, especially for classical / jazz/ rock. - Having looked at many headphones to find a high quality well made & comfortable product for the home that does not rely on electronic gimmickry of noise cancelling. I also wanted to use it to listen to Hi resolution streaming ( Qobuz). I discovered this by searching across many reviews but most mass-market headphones these days are designed with Bluetooth & noise cancelling and has apps etc to determine the sound signature. This does none of that but produces a rich, well-integrated sound best listened with a DAC ( not essential as impedance is not so high it requires a DAC or Headphone Amp) Also, I did not want to spend hundreds of pounds as audiophile headsets with this sound capability often cost a lot more. (At least double) Let me begin by saying what this headphone is not. Unless you are used to wearing 53 mm domes, outside this is not the outdoor headphone. It also avoids high tech electronic noise suppression ( for that Sony WH - 1000XM3 or 2 range is fabulous). What this does well, is deal well with a wide range of music from rock, jazz, classical for home listening. Use with a DAC and it will be even better. I have used this with different range of DACS (Chord, Arcam, Marantz) and these have performed as well as my rather old but very expensive T5p These are closed headphones so you won't scare the cat or the neighbours. To keep the weight down the metal covering uses aluminium so you get some leakage but unless you are playing at very high volumes ( not recommended) you won't get any sound leakage. I found listening for a long period was not a challenge as the "headband" gave great support The overall feel of this headphone is that it is very well engineered with a good thick cable with two jacks. The size of the drivers at 53 mm gives this a spacious feel so the constricted sound that you get from closed-back headphones are not as evident in these headphones. In terms of value, this is a fabulous buy at £179 as the other headphones with this sort of capability are at least double the price. The sound signature is very similar to the now discontinued Bowers & Wilkins P7 but this one can play high res files. I would not say this matches the Beyerdynamic which is nearly eight times more expensive than this. Finally, the sound needs to settle down, so use this headphone for about 2-3 days and the quality of the headset becomes obvious. For the price/value/ quality equation home listening phones, I have yet to find one that matches these headphones. For that, it deserves 5 stars
Review: Best sound / cost option - I purchased a pair of audio technics headphones, the ATH 900Z, about a month ago, after my last audio techno a pairs cables became split after 11 years regular use; these new ATH 900Z are fantastic, super comfortable to wear & with an audio range that sounds amazing, it’s the audio range that’s most important, but seldom overlooked; for sound quality, comfort and price, these are some of the best headphones on the market in my opinion, and I tried many before this purchase!

## Questions & Answers

**Q: I'm not a basshead by any means but im curious what the bass response is like in these? Will their be sufficient punch when needed?**
A: It's pretty solid! My friend and I both have a pair and we both listen to a lot of electro, and we're pretty satisfied. Keep in mind that they have a sort of sound stage effect...as in they sound like the sound is coming from all around you,rather than cans aimed at your ears. So if you're looking for that bass zombie head vibration feel, you might want something else, but all in all these headphones are awesome. And the 3d wings are imo the best innovation in headphones, you barely notice they're on.

**Q: ear pad inner dimensions?**
A: 2 inches inner almost 4 inches outer

**Q: Noise canceling?**
A: no

**Q: will these lay on my ears or go around?**
A: There are earcups that go around your ears.

*by M***K on 28 June 2022*

Just buy them. I've been a radio presenter for many years and used many headphones. cheap and expensive. these are the best by far .Nothing beats them under £1000. the only little gripe is the Leeds it's far to long would have been nice to have a coiled one . comfort is second to none. I'm now listening to old tracks again with instruments I've never heard on them before . 11 out of 10 👌👌👌
