Review: The right side headphone stopped working 4 days after the return window. What now? - This item was used for a total of 3 hours at a moderate listening level while in my possession. I understand that the return "window" was closed 4 days prior to one side not working, but considering what I paid for this, what do I do now? This is crazy and frustrating. They sound great, but I'm now stuck with a $500 paperweight.
Review: Worth the price for sure and comfort should be considered - Just amazing man. This headphone is so worth the price and I have 3 reasons why: 1. The imaging, oh my gosh the imaging, when I was playing cs2 I was able to hear footsteps in exact space, I could pinpoint that they were in the room above and to the left of me with just utterly alot of clarity. 2. The comfort is truly understated, wow the comfort, I have glasses and with some headphones it gets a bit uncomfortable to wear them for like 3 hours, man I was grinding in games for 4 hours straight without any noticeable fatigue and the velour headband pad really just like sticks to my hair and that means I can have it a bit more loose and still not feel that way. 3. The flexibility, now for most of the review I’ve just been talking about gaming performance, that’s because I think it’s a metric where I can definitely tell the ups and downs of headphones with music on the other hand I dont really have the same sureness, all headphones sound good but they just feel different in a way I cant point out much, it’s still the same story for these but the difference between the pads is actually noticeable and if you’re guessing I’m using the velour(producing pads) most of the time, you’d be wrong! The velour pads to have some body on them but on some songs with some certain beats, the beats feel a bit fatiguing or too much, with the mixing pads I dont feel that and everything feels equally represented on the mixing pads, bass feels in control, the mids breath fine and the treble doesnt feel obtrusive nor really missing so yeah, take my review with a grain of salt cause I certainly know alot of trivia about headphones, I dont necessarily have experience but from a gamer who’s been on the audiophile space for more than 3 years, it’s definitely great.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The GOAT
*by M***. on 7 April 2026*

I'm first going to address the one and only con of this, which would be noise cancellation. Since it is open-back, it shouldn't be a surprise that there is zero noise cancellation, so if you need noise cancellation then this is not for you. Now to the good stuff. When it comes to sound quality, there isn't a headphone that has been as good as this in my life. I listen to music about 6+ hours a day every day, and this headphone has given me the best listening experience without a doubt. Comfort? Superb, I've even worn it for 10 hours straight sometimes without having the feeling of taking it off since it didn't feel annoying to wear and it fits perfectly on my head. It being open-back also allowed me to have very long non-stop sessions with it as my ears didn't sweat from heat build-up that I would experience with closed-back headphones and so I didn't have to take them off. It has a solid basic appearance, nothing flashy. I'd also recommend you to do some research into what your computer's motherboard uses as a soundcard and determine if you do need a DAC or not to get the most from this headphone without facing issues or annoyances. Personally, I did have to buy a DAC to get rid of the garbage electrical/static noise that my motherboard would produce, so make sure to do your research.
