Criteria Comments Rating
  • Sound quality Like hearing through a sheet of sludge. Muddy sound lost in a sea of thudding bass. Also, perceived tone *highly* - maybe too - dependent on ear compatibility poor
  • Design and form factor The styling is very attractive on the head, and the units fold for convenience. ControlTalk is very convenient good
  • Comfort Despite appearing to be comfortable with relatively plush pads, dealt out surprising amounts of punishment to the ear. Could not wear for >45mins awful!
  • Noise isolation Superior passive isolation was experienced with the HD good
  • Durability Phones are well put together, but there are questions in the engineering around the hinge as well as the headband. Earcups are clattery in use poor
