Light, but stiff pads and clamp hurt within hours

Each part is rated on one scale for every earbud and headphone, from lab test measurements where they exist, what reviewers found, specs and owner reports. It rates the product itself, not how good it is for the price.

Pros

  • Pleasant vocals and highs, fine for tracking and podcast edits
  • Comfortable headband; flexes without breaking
  • Balanced, full mids and clear highs
  • Light 190 g, comfy headband
  • Isolation better than expected for home studios
  • Neutral, clear sound suits editing
  • Survived drops

Cons

  • Weak bass, uneven treble
  • Stiff vinyl pads hurt after about two hours
  • Cheap-feeling plastic, no folding or case
  • Fixed cable
  • Lower bass missing, poor for EDM/DJing
  • Stiff pads, small non-swivel cups
  • Fixed cable; no pouch
  • SoundGuysDec 2024

    One of the better studio-style picks on a very tight budget, but worth saving up for more.

  • A respectable entry studio headphone and among the best near its price.

  • Still worth it at its lowest prices for editing and casual use; otherwise look at alternatives.
