What we liked

  • + Closed-back circumaural design keeps audio contained, which helps limit headphone bleed into an open mic
  • + Detachable locking cable can be replaced if it fails instead of retiring the headphones
  • + Wide padded headband and lightweight collapsible build aimed at long recording and mixing sessions

Trade-offs

  • - The listing gives no impedance, driver size or weight figures to compare against rivals
  • - Wired only, and priced well above entry-level studio headphones
