Value For Money : Poor
How long have you use it?

Because the group used in radio where I work, because the advice of several colleagues and users (technicians antenna) and because I was looking for a headphone serious, reliable and quality for both work and music composition listening to music, I purchased this headset for almost a year ago.

Have you tried many other models before buying it?

Different models in store. The most basic model to the Audio-Technica expensive through the Dr. Dre that I found appalling level value for money (and definitely not consistent with the purpose I wanted.


Use

In composition, therefore, mainly. Whether for mounting models in Ableton Live and Protools or recording.
Also used for listening to MP3.

Sound

It's not the worst of what I listen to (see my choice for this headphone), but as time passes, the more I tell myself that this is not the best.
The sound is very aggressive, very flattering. He "earache" after long listening.
Although broadly balanced, the midrange is (I think) really forward, where the aggressive side unpleasant.

Squarely hifi/MP3 recommended for listening, it does not enhance the music.

Recording, the recovery (that comes out of his headphone and goes back into the socket) is frankly important!


The material

After two months of use, a jack has been folded in a sheet amplifier, error handling that I recognize (amp pushed against the wall when I forgot the jack plugged back into the headphone jack) but it m has not been pushing very hard for the jack is properly folded!
The left side was broken. I wanted it repaired with my dealer that I Pigalle claimed that the repair would include replacing the cable complete with re-welding in the headphones for a price equivalent to a new headphone ...

... a colleague from work I changed the jack for pennies hardware and now everything works perfectly.

Currently, the foam earpieces are very flat, and will fall squarely déchictent the headset several times a week.
Apart from the incident of the sheet, I take great care of my headphone and let such concerns to be desired!
Many colleagues have their foam completely ordnance (replacing all the same to € 20)

The port on the head is not pleasant architecture, not painful but not really ergonomic and very narrow.

Wearers, beware GALERE! I always feel that the ear does not "stick" not perfectly to my ears.

Otherwise, it seems pretty solid and cord étiro corkscrew is really convenient.


How would you rate the quality / price?
I find the price slightly excessive in relation to product quality.
This is not a "bad" headphone but it seems clear that this is the best.

Its sound quality is improved and reliability is a bit lightweight material.

With experience, you do again this choice?

Hard to say.
I think I would look rather two separate headsets. For monitoring, something more solid, more comfortable and more neutral.
For MP3 I went to the Bose TriPod which is much more comfortable and the sound is more pleasant.

In summary, not a bad headset but for me, he told me unconvinced.
