    Using these since about 3 years, great Audio, very sturdy. Very comfortable with glasses too.

    Review does not say much of how the phones sound? I actually prefer the sound from an open phone, it hear's more natural with less ear fatigue

    Most likely they are flat and uncolored in sound response being that they are studio headphones. They are open backed headphones so they most likely have a wider sound stage as well.

    For anything audio I really recommend Z Reviews Youtube channel.

    I've been using the Beyerdynamic DT 880 Pro Headphones and they're great. I've been told that the DT 990's are a bit more 'bassy' while the DT 880's are a bit more 'punchy' or mid-range focused. Music fans might enjoy the 990's a tad more depending on the genre. For metal music and crisp game sounds, the 880's are excellent.

    None of the good headphones have mics.  Plenty of options like Antlion Audio mod mic.  Or desktop mics.

    rthe big minus for me with any headset oiver 100 dollars is not having a detachable 1/8th inch cord. once the cord wears out on these, that head set hits the trash can.
    I agree but this model is easy to mod.  I buy these broken on ebay and mod and resell.

    Go buy a Sehnheiser Momentum, they have detachable cords. I have been using an over ear wired version for a couple of years, phenomenal sound and beautifully built.

    It is incredibly difficult to design some meaningfull leg content that would fit a space ship game - simply because it is not a leg game.

    It is just huge resource waste....'

    Using these with a FIIO E10K, perfect match.
