I bought these for the look, keeping for the quality. For over the head “budget” headphones, with a look and feel from the late 80s early 90s but with 2022 sound, these are great. Balanced sound and good bass for headphones that don’t go into the ear like earbuds. Only negative I have is when I went to switch the cushions from grey to orange, the grey had blotches inside that looked like black mold. good thing I like the orange. I’ve purchased 3 different products from jlabs, and I’d say these have the lowest sound quality, but they still sound pretty good, I use them (as well as other jlabs headphones) to judge my production mixes on different style audio. And these do not disappoint.
