10 year old daughter loves them. She’s hard on headphones and I think she’s met her match with these.

My daughter loves her headphones and I like getting a break from Mickie Mouse from time to time lol

This is an excellent sound card. The adaptor works great when using headphones and you have the ability to set up your speakers and environment as you desire. I use the optical out along with an amp as I am using some high end headphones and I find the card to work very well. Also, with the latest drivers, you can select, under games, several pre-sets which is nice. I do find the sound, even when listening to music to be very good. If you are strictly into music/movies, there may be better sound cards out there but this one directs most of its attention to gaming. I did have a creative card in my rig, but found this one to provide better sound for gaming. And some old reviews complain about the lack of current drivers, but they have current ones available. I checked out the ASUS site first and did some research first. Had no problems installing the card or the drivers. Everything worked great.

I am an audiophile and after trying some headphones from Sennheiser and others, this is the one I prefer. Comfort is not quite as good as Sennheiser, but good enough. Just a bit of a tight fit over my big ears, but it works. It is the sound that makes me smile. Midrange is the most neutral and realistic that I have heard of anything in this price range. Highs are clean and sharper than many studio headphones including the highly regarded DT770! Bass is a little pronounced, but deep and tight. The imaging is horrible at first, but give them a few hours of break-in and they are great. Sounds come from discrete points in space with space in between, unlike HD5xx and some others. It is easy to hear subtle details in the midrange and dynamics are excellent, and this is straight out of an iphone 6s (no external amplifier). Honestly, these things compete with my SET tube amp and high end speakers! No wonder these are favored in the studio.

This device has completely freed up my hands and ears. I am in phone calls 6-7 hours per day and I'm always using this over my noise cancelling headphones. My team has remarked on how well they are able to hear me and there is no interference between sound output and mic.Cons1. Connecting multiple devices at the same time disconnects it's function as a speakerphone on my laptop.2. The charging cord is just tacky even though it rolls up in the bottom. USBC would have been nice.

A very convenient way to have your headphones handy on your desk! I great addition to this new normal of teleworking at home!

I've tested a few products from this company at this point in time and I am very impressed with all the products that I have tested. This company seems to make great value headphones in the wireless space right now. The inclusion of APTX on all their headphones (just like this one) is great for people who use their headphones to watch movies or other vocal content. The low latency keeps it lip synced so you don't go crazy watching it with lag.These headphones overall have decent bass, okay vocals and decent highs. The sound isn't sharp and there is not alot of roll off. I would say the biggest downside is in the breathability of the earpads themselves. That shouldn't be a surprise though as there is ANC on these headphones. The seal needs to be good to have the ANC work well.When I turned it on I can say that it does "something" however its not that great of ANC as the sound of many things is just reduced. It helped with the sound of my mechanical keyboard but not many other things.I suppose if you used the ANC on a plane then it would help to reduce the sound around you so you could enjoy a movie. Which is definitely possible considering the length of the battery on these.I haven't ran out of battery yet with how long they last, I used them for around 7 hours total and they aren't dead yet.I also listened to them for a whole additional day via a wired connection; the 3.5mm jack is awesome if you are like me and have an amp on your desk. I just plugged it into the amp and let it go.Using it via an amp shows that there is some better sound quality to be had outside of the bluetooth but all in all its actually quite good considering. Most things didn't sound much better with the amp so this means that the chipset they have in here is good enough for the level of drivers and design they have in the headphones.All in all this is a good package and I can fully recommend it if you are in the market. They definitely punch above their weight and price class. I hope to see more of this brand as they are doing things right!If this review helped you at all; please mark it helpful! Thanks!

These are great. I had a really old set of Audio Technica headphones (studio) that got damaged. I bought a set of Sony cans that lasted a really long time too but eventually the fake leather started flaking off. (Sony was close but not quite as good)My bad purchase before this headset:I bought a set of Audio Technica ATH-AD700 open air headphones. Although these were extremely comfortable and sound great, they didn't stay on my head just right. (and no adjustments are possible without modification) It wasn't terrible but I am pretty picky about my cans. The ATH-AD700 had a super long, straight cable which was annoying. It would get caught in my chair wheels all the time. (why did it have to be so long and not coiled?) This cable is not replaceable. Also, the bass wasn't great compared to other headphones with the open air design. (I think the ATH-AD900 are better in that regard) Open air headphones are a personal preference and allow you to hear what is going on around you. (think the opposite of noise cancelling) I really thought I wanted open air until I tried them for a week. I wanted to get something I really liked and I bought these ATH-M40x.Back to the review of this product:I bought these (not from Amazon) although the Amazon price is better than what I paid. I feel like I have a better version of my favorite headphones again. (the ones I had years ago) They sound great, are comfortable enough to wear for long periods of time and look great. They adjust out pretty far and should work for almost anyone. You can replace the cable if you damage it which I love. It comes with 2 cables, one is coiled, one is not. I use the coiled cable. I love how it is just the right length when coiled but expands a lot. (it doesn't get stuck in my chair wheels or other things) The adapter that goes from 3.5mm to the larger size actually screws on the end of the cable which I like. (my really old cans had this as well....must be an Audio Technica thing) You can't lose the adapter that way and it won't come unplugged as easily in a studio environment. (the spring on the larger connector is much stronger than the spring on the 3.5 mm so screwing it on is ideal.They collapse up which my old ones didn't do. I don't have much use for that though since they hang on a hook underneath my desk. They are lighter and less bulky than my old ones though. I slap them on a hook when I am done using them.My only complaint is that if I take them off really fast, they partially collapse. They spin around and collapse up funny at times. At first I had a little trouble figuring this out but on the second day of use I had it mastered. (not that difficult really, I wasn't getting it for some reason) I could take them off more carefully too but at times I am in a hurry.These are over the ear. That is what I wanted. (not on the ear like Bose for example) They block out some or most background noise which is good and bad. Somewhere between open air and noise cancelling but closer to noise cancelling since you can't hear much with them on. They have a lot of bass which I like.Some people don't like Japanese headphones. I for one love them. People say they don't last forever. I don't see any reason why these won't last 10-15 years. (then the fake leather may start flaking off?) If the leather holds up they may last even longer.A story about buying my first high end headphones:A long time ago, I was in a high end audio store and I was looking at receivers and speakers. The sales guy was showing me $1000.00 sets of speakers that sounded amazing. He then told me I could get the same quality sound for around $100.00. (If i bought headphones instead) His sales pitch made so much sense. Normally I don't fall for stuff like that but he had made a great point. These headphones sound amazing like a $1000 set of speakers. (at least to me, I am not a super audiophiles but I know good sound when I hear it) I have spent about $300 in headphones over the past 30 years. I don't regret my purchase of these or my original Audio Technica cans. I don't regret the sony set either since they were good and lasted 15 years. I do however regret buying the Audio Technica ATH-AD700 set recently though. They were more than these in cost and didn't work out as well for ergonomic reasons. (and too little bass for my liking) It was an expensive mistake for me....maybe because I am too picky.If you like good sound, good comfort, replaceable cables, coiled cables and long life then these should work just fine for you. If you are as picky as me and need one good set of studio quality over the ear cans, these are a great option for a nice price.I tried Beats and others in the stores and although they sounded good I couldn't justify the price. I considered Razor and other gaming headphones but I prefer a more pro audio design. I listened to sales pitches about avoiding Japanese cans which I don't believe and came back to Audio Technica after about 15 years of using Sony. (Sony were just ok and almost as good anyway) Having one good set of cans is a must for me. Maybe the ATH-M50x are even better. I don't even want to know. (or I may want them next)
