«  A joy, it still surprises me after all these years »

Published on 01/28/13 at 14:47
I use it for 3 years, due to several hours per day, since this is the headset that I use to listen to music on my workplace, screwed in front of my computer screen. I do not really use it in the best condition since it is connected to the headphone output single PC without a sound card particularly efficient. No doubt on a more audiophile could further express its potential.

I am super satisfied overall. The sound is clear and natural and restored with great accuracy the sounds. He does not overdo it, there is no added artifice and effects. We are in the neutral and natural reproduction of records.
I really rediscovered through the headphone every piece that I thought the already know every corner sound.
And despite my fairly intensive use anyway, I do not get tired on the contrary, each listening is a pleasure and a surprise renewed its quality. It actually increased even over time and hours of listening. The sound is refined and gets better.

I find it hard to make a comparison with other competitive models do have not used significantly.
But to me it seems hard to go wrong in choosing.

Negative points? I honestly do not know, maybe the comfort, but also that, once again, using it several hours a day I have not found it particularly uncomfortable, I support it very well. Can "soften" the arch easily if the pressure on the ears is too strong. And foams at the end of these three years beginning can be a little tiring. It might be nice to change it.
The look? I personally love it, but it will not please everyone for sure, he stripped, and rustic, not "high tech", and may suggest a certain fragility of its low weight and frame a bit cheap. In the end it worked very well supported these three years without flinching and I do not see anywhere signs of weakness. Well of course I took great care and I do not Baroude with ...

There must be the jack adapter for a 3.5mm jack if necessary,
And must take into account the fact that it is an open headphone, potentially at listening volume high enough, the surrounding environment is also involved. But once again I have not had more trouble than it with respect to my colleagues!
