Great Sound & Comfortable Fit for Sub $200
I purchased this headset about a week ago and so far I am pleased. I was looking for something under $200 that provides all day comfort and great sound quality to boot. I think this hit the mark. The sound quality is very nice - mids and highs are on par. Bass is not as prominent as I would like, but overall very well done for the price.
The build is wonderful - Padding in the cans is very soft and comfortable - overall very lightweight but feels very solid in your hands.
My only issue is that after a few hours of constant wear I do find the need to take a break for a few minutes to rest my ears.

Amazing pair of headphones!
I bought these a month ago and I absolutely love them! They are so detailed and the soundstage on them is truly outstanding. I mainly use these for gaming because they are absolutely perfect for it.
