I've been playing bass for 42 years now and for the first time used these to practice sans amp. These headphones are absolutely incredible for practicing bass guitar. Had them for about 6 weeks now and yesterday was the first time I tried them in this capacity. That low end is solid and holds really well. All the other frequencies are there as well but that bass is solid without any weird noise. Impressive! So if there are any fellow bass players looking for an amazing set of bass practice headphones....check these out!!! I have a bunch of headphones now (yeah thanks Z...haha) and these are without a doubt the best for that application.

[@syahfiqalarby6175]

Tried it on, WAY MORE comfortable than any "GAMING" headphones/set i had ( low end tier at least, my first midrange is cooler master mh751) and my mh751 disappoints me in terms of build quality, the typical hinge problem and inability to change the earpads PROPERLY. and the JT1 isnt heavy on the head.

That's why for years, I've always, and I mean always, trusted Z Reviews. You have NEVER reviewed stuff in relation to price. If it's a cheap headphone that's as good as $500 headphones, you'd say it. And your impressions, based on my real life testing, are spot on. A lot of them out there would say, "These are the best under xxx dollars" just to justify and massage a much more expensive purchase, even their own. No, it's just not true. No headphone on planet Earth is actually worth more than $300, all things considered - sound, build, even features like LDAC and ANC. So I'm seriously considering getting these now. Damn you, Zeos!

Hi Zeos, finally got them. They've been out of stock for a while and I did shop for alternatives but I decided just to wait. The mid-range on these are remarkably clear. And they sound wide for a closed-back. The bass is not exaggerated, I feel like it's just right. The Fidelio X1S is probably mid-bassier in comparison. They definitely punch above their price and can compete with the Fidelios (their price at launch was about $300 a long time ago, I believe). Great value!

You just sealed the deal for me, Zeos. I was contemplating on what my first headphone will be(been doing IEMs for a while). Was watching your review of the Hifiman HE400se... And then this review came along. Just waiting for one more day to pull the trigger. Why? Because we are about to have a "9.9 Sale" (September 9) in two of our biggest on-line shopping platforms here in the Philippines. I could get at the very least, 10% off the price, if i buy it now. But beginning on the 8th at 8pm all the way to the 9th, I could possibly get as much as 16% discount. If you think $69 is cheap/affordable, well in just 1 day, it's gonna get even really affordable for us here.

[@hubey]

I appreciate your enthusiasm, just be careful calling headphones too cheap; as brands will up the price. Koss have already doubled in price in the last 10 years. You can just call them good value, and keep the enthusiasm for the sound/comfort/build. Unsolicited advice sozzy! But for reference, outside the US the Koss Kph40 goes for $80+. So affordable alternatives are very welcome. I like that word, instead of cheap, affordable.

how do you feel about them?

[@HiddenRefuge]

​@@unearthlygoose They've been great. I've been using them for a while now, making them my daily runners after HyperX Cloud and they beat them in every single way. Much sturdier built, better quality materials and they sound amazing; definitely richer and more balanced. Plus, the detachable cables and really good (albeit a bit oversensitive) microphone are cherry on the top. No issues so far. My only concern is that the headstrap's eco-leather feels rather delicate and might not stand the test of time - most of that usually detoriates completely after 3-4 years... but we'll see. The bag might be silly but it's great to store headphones after daily use to prevent them from gathering dust and minimize exposure. In overall, I expect these to be much longer lasting if taken care of.

[@colinmartin9797]

I got them, mostly to see if they would become my new recommendation to people and... why the fuck did they not make the cups swivel. WHYYYYYY. I just want a pair of headphones that have zero caveats to tell people to buy. These are so close, let down by that alone. After I bent them like you showed, they're INSANELY comfortable. Super light without creaking or feeling cheap, or that obnoxious TWANG if you touch the headband like the meze 99's But mine were initially sibilant as FUUUUUCK. I thought it was my BTR7 just being on high gain, dropped it to low, not really any better. I was wondering if maybe I got a bum pair until I had a thought and remembered that I keep dolby atmos on my phone for my 1more evo's (which REALLY play nice with it) and turned that off. Like a switch, harshness gone. They're very clear and clean, almost to a fault, and a hair bass-light, but they're basically semi-open-back and isolate nearly as well as some of my closed backs. The cable is surprisingly nice. The pads are buttery soft and smooth - unlike the thieaudio ghosts, which I adore, but are a little hard to drive and the included pads were flat out unacceptable and required a brainwavz swap to fit a human head properly and get that meze-like sound. The pads are super easily swappable on these too, the pads mount to a little frame that just untwist-clicks free and can be easily replaced with any quite large pad (brainwavz XL's are a hair too tight) Man though, that price forgives it all. "buy 'em and bend them like this before you use them and don't forget to turn off dolby atmos if you have it on your phone" is a very reasonable trade for $70 with a usable included microphone and nice length cable for home use. I still definitely prefer the thieaudio ghosts with better pads, but they're a lot harder to drive and even with good pads, a lot less comfortable.

Little creaky here and there occasionally but not nearly as much as the SHP500. I was expecting it to be narrower in soundstage but am pleasantly surprised and think it seems just right for me.

[@skooterclown]

so when I started watching this video (an hour after it hit KZbin) these were available on amazon. 15 minutes later when I got off the phone and went to buy them....amazon is out of stock. sad

[@ZReviews]

I will make sure to let everyone know on twitter when they are back in stock. twitter.com/Zeospantera

Are they objectively better than the AKG K361? I need a new pair of of closed-backs and I can't make up my mind! 😭Please, help ASAP! 😁

[@J31495]

I still like the tuning of my AKG K371 better (slightly), but these are MUCH more comfortable to wear.

[@NekobibuVonBibu]

@@J31495 Thanks!

[@yourchildrensghost9736]

Do you think these can be used to produce music?

[@DuyTran-rv9ks]

You're right about the mjissing of cheaper, more affordable Head phone at this price range. Go higher money, yes there;re plenty but needs some AMP, this price range people usually go for in ear or earbuds,. Thank for the great suggestion.

Finally got mine. I got an Amazon alert that they were available so I bought them on the spot. I thought about grabbing a pair for a friend and I went back about 20 minutes later and they were sold out already. Took about a week to get here straight from China. First impression holy s***. They're a little more bass heavier than I'm used to but everything they say about him is true. Clear spacious and for the price nothing beats them. They feel flimsy as hell and super cheap but you got to cut costs somewhere. I was a little nervous how bass heavy they are and it is kind of fun playing with the ports on top. However I tossed them in a drawer and let him play pink noise overnight and I don't know why but that really tamed the bass. They actually sound pretty well balanced now. Needless to say I'm pretty happy and pretty impressed and I've already thrown away the box which means they aren't getting sold. I kept wondering why Z always had these on when he starts in it review and now I get it. I can't take them off. They're just straight up a fun can to listen to. I tossed the cheap $15 Amazon balanced cable on here and it opens them up a little more.

I was eyeballing the Emotiva GR1, but it seems they are gone forever (and $200). How do these stack up to the Emotiva's?

[@ZReviews]

Way more pleasurable. GR1 was a solid unit. Bit more treble focused.

[@SereneRalts]

just ordered these, thanks for your beautiful input zeos (and waifu bg's n mousemat) long time HD6XX user what do you think of these compared to the HD600/650/6XX family? i got annoyed at how difficult it was to find quality cables for the senheisers and they had some age. really excited for these headphones and i would love to hear your opinion on this comparison! :D

[@rexx3137]

I'd like to know this too. Current ly using hd6xx and looking for change. On a budget.

[@yashinisuki]

I just received mine and even though they are great for the price, they are too bass heavy for my liking. What are other comfortable and good sounding budget closed back headphones?

[@wrbrown571]

Can't find the Fiio JT1. Hifiman 400se (open box) are $89 or $109 (new) on sale on their site right now though.

[@Dirtybudus]

He400se comfort won’t stand a chance against these though, sound wise… Well, HMs are planar and sound completely different.

[@wrbrown571]

​​@@Dirtybudus Perhaps. But the question is moot. Just got the Sennheiser HD560s for $150 on Amazon. I know it's a bit more, but just keep saving while you can't get the Fiios.

[@gges1605]

I currently have focal clear mgs and the focal arche dac/amp that I actually love the sound of but looking for a recommend for a valve based dac/amp just for a change for that different sweet valve sound
