      They are comfortable to wear for a few hours a day, angled Alcantara pads aren’t sweating my ears, I find them easy to drive, sounding great even from entry-level electronics and portable devices, their tonality is spot on, their midrange and bass performance is fabulous and their stage is among the grandest I have experienced via headphones.
