Superb headphones. Great value.
17 Aug 2019
Verified Buyer
These headphones are superb and are great value for money. They are extremely comfortable and have an excellent build quality. They can be just about be driven directly from an i-Phone or I-Pad, but benefit greatly by the use of a portable dac/amp such as the Audioquest Dragonfly Red, Dragonfly Cobalt or Chord Mojo, which all drive them very easily.

Most importantly they sound superb with a classic planar magnetic sound with sweet non-sibilant treble, excellent midrange and accurate and deep bass. Highly recommended.
