Pros

These make 100% reference mark for me. They look durable and long lasting. Compactly what i need. Only complaint is that i can't register them for warranty in the uk. My son has to wait to see his cardiologist before he uses them again.

Both highs and low frequency in the headphones never distort or sound muffled. Additional detail i can hear in games without any equalisers or enchantments is astonishing. Comes well packaged and has a long curly cable.

The lead they come with is a coiled lead and is quite long. Combined with hq audio, these headphones encourage revisiting some old classics and hearing instruments, rifts and melodies previously not heard.

For less than £100 you can't go wrong with these headphones.

As expected, great service from amazon and a really great pair of headphones from sony.

Competitiveness

I am a recording engineer for the last 30 years and there is no headphone that even compares to this one (apart from another sony product).
