Light, but thin headband padding

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

  • Punchier low end and smoother upper mids than the HD-201
  • Wide stereo image with fair detail
  • Light with soft pads and sensible clamp
  • Closed back limits spill when recording
  • Low price
  • Light, long cable handy for drummers
  • Bass has some punch

Cons

  • Materials feel cheap
  • 3 m cable tangles and is awkward on the go
  • Dull rolled-off highs and muddy mids; quiet without an amp
  • Thin headband padding makes a hot spot quickly
  • Weak isolation from shallow cups
  • Plasticky forks feel fragile
  • MusicRadarNov 2020

    Light, sturdier-than-they-look budget studio cans that are flat enough for home mixing.

  • Drum SilentMar 2024

    Acceptable cheap headphones, but the ATH-M20x sounds and fits better for a little more.
