Clarity

Coming from Beyerdynamic DT990 Pro 250Ohms I wasn't expecting MUCH better quality but hoped for improved mid range and less harsh highs and that's exactly what these cans have provided me with now. Easier on the ears and less ear bleed.

Pros

1. VERY comfortable and wearing glasses I can tell you that it's very comfortable and better than the DT990 which were also very comfortable.

2. My ears don't touch anything which adds to the overall comfort.

3. Clear audio with some bass but explosive mids gives me the goosebumps while using Tidal.

4. Gaming is also great with these and it's easier to hear footsteps without the bass stepping in and taking control. Not that there isn't bass mind you.. theres plenty but it's less and a bit different is how I would put it.. Certainly better than my previous cans.

cons

1. While listening to lower quality sound sources such as youtube the quality of sound seems lacking in some... DT990 does a better job here.

2. Soundstage for gaming isn't as wise as the DT990 but it does have superior quality of sound.

These are my new daily drivers and I'm happy enough with them for a few years at least.
