This is a surprisingly good product. I'm not a professional, I can't give a comparing analysis with other high end headphones, but I listen a wide variety of music and I'm sensitive to good sound quality.I decided to replace my old gamer headset that I used during work because it started to be noisy and it annoyed me a lot.My requirements were: good sound, big and comfy (plush) ear cups and good noise canceling under 100 bucks.This headphones fulfills all my needs. I expected good quality, but it truly amazed me.About sound quality:As I told I can't use pro phrases to describe, but when I first tried it was like when I first time put on my glasses - I didn't notice earlier that everything is a little blurry until I saw sharp. It was better with an order of magnitude than my idea of good sound quality. It has crystal clear and deep sound from deep to high.About comfort:I have definitely not smaller than average ears, I was fine with my previous 40mm headphones, but this one with the 50mm diameter completely covers my ears. The plush cushion is very comfortable and not too warm. The whole headset is not too heavy and the self-adjusting mechanism works good, keep the cups where they need to be. The only minus is that it's a bit tight for me - however I have a big head. It's not too bothering, I still can wear it for hours and as I saw in other reviews it will break in with time.About noise canceling:This was a big concern for me, I work as an only developer in an open office with full of sales and operation people. The concentration is really important for me but the server dings behind my back, the printer clicks continuously and the people are always on phone. With this headphone I hear nothing of them! When it's on my head with music on, it's like I'm in an other room door closed. There is no way I understand when they talk me you even if I want it. The minus: they can and they do sneak behind my back without I notice anything about them :)The cons:However I have no issues with the overall built quality - I like the minimalist more than the fancy ones - but it does have some parts that LOOK cheap. I'm personally not convinced that it's a quality issue, probably more like a design flaw. But I rather listen to it than look at it.An other negative and it will sound weird but it restricted my preferred music sources because of the good sound quality. I listened mostly net-radios and because now I can hear everything, their quality annoys me. Well, their reason for 128KB/s is that people don't have the equipment to hear the lower quality issues. With this product I do have and now I have to look for lossless content to enjoy them with my new shiny headphones.Only one radio stands still - the Radio Paradise. I know it's not the place for commercial but those guys deserve it, the premium music quality, the music selection and their cool app that can cache it for offline just rocks.Summarized I absolutely satisfied and recommend it. I really can't imagine how someone gave this 1 star, my most optimistic guess is he got a defective product.
