Pros

They feel so sturdy heavy and durable in ur hand almost like they would be impossible to break but when you put them on its like nothing is on ur head wich is perfect for a headset. I wish it had more headband padding, so maybe i'll look to add someth...  Read More

Great sound, even better on a soundcard w/ an amp. The sound quality is excellent, especially when paired with an epos amplifier. I'm not an audiophile by any means, but i still want things to sound good.

The cable is a little shorter than the gz's anyways, which affects my set-up, but it may work in yours. When paired with a dac/amp or the notorious gsx 1000/1200 it sounds much better, and doesn't sound like everything is jumbled up. The 28 ohm will m...  Read More

All sennheiser products feel incredible, as if they were tailed for you personally. Nd review update these things are just as good as when i first unboxed them. More so, than other headsets in the market.



Cons

No different from general stereo headphones using virtual surround.

I am devastated and let down. Man i got ripped off. It's easy to reattach but come on, this thing is just garbage. Time to go back to the drawing board sennheiser" - userreattach.

The mechanicals for the mic boom are a big miss. The microphone has a mute function dependent on the swing of the boom. I'm not certain if this actually switches the mic input or there's logic to enable the microphone.

Headset is 1+ whole pound heavy and that is not normal for conventional headphones. Even after fully extending the headband, it still sits quite heavily on the top of your head (headset is extremely heavy).

Sounds quality i'm not going to get technical but it's phenomenal, this is what sennheiser is known for.


Sennheiser recommends that you buy their 1000 or 1200 external dac, to properly drive the headphones in terms of "quality", not...  Read More


This makes the top band merely rest on my head, as apposed to forcing down upon it.

Price


All in all for the price, you are definitely getting quality.


The only real downside is the price.


They're coming out with an open headset for about 30 dollars less in a few weeks, so it's very much personal preference.

Competitiveness


Compared to the dt990 premiums, the sennheiser being closed back headphones, have better bass and even punchier mid bass.


Comparing once again to sennheiser hd700's, these have better bass as they are closed back compared to the 700's open back, but...  Read More


In terms of microphone quality, the only comparison i can make is vs the mod mic 5.
