Nicely made, good sound, fiddly controls
1 of 1 found this helpful These headphones are very pleasant to handle and comfortable to wear (if a little tight, but I do have a very big head) and seem very well made - better so than most examples from Sennheiser.
The sound quality is good, especially when used with the cable, with a strong bass (if anything, a little over-powering), very sensitive to detail and high frequencies and a nice clear, spatial stereo sound. The only real criticism I would have of the sound is that the lower treble and mid range always seem to sound muted when compared with the other frequencies (a sort of 'hour-glass' shaped sound). Personally, I would have liked a balance control, but this is no big issue for me.
In terms of features, there is the sense that perhaps the headphones are attempting to do TOO much. That is, they have noise-cancelling and Bluetooth. In fact the phones do all this very well and with the AptX feature, the sound comes close to (but doesn't quite match) using with a cable and the NoiseGuard feature works effectively to mute most, but not all external sounds (not a criticism as too much noise cancelling could be dangerous!)
The main is the controls, When you switch the phones on or off, a woman's voice tells you this, and when they are connecting/pairing/connected/disconnected from Bluetooth, when you have the volume turned right up or down (perhaps necessary because the control uses repeated pressing rather than a more straightforward slide or knob) and when they need recharging. The on/off button is tiny, fiddly to use and needs to be pressed for a while before it decides to do as its told.
All in all, a very good set of headphones, but not without their faults.
