![]() ![]() The cables don’t snag at all however, a big plus, and I can move them from the L cup to the R cup if I please, a really nice feature. The Cables are obviously a tad budget, but they are flexible and good lengths – though the right angle connectors are clearly not for home amp use (but work just the same). No squeaky parts or creaks out of the box, and the folding mechanism is useful. The combination of gloss plastic and metal bits are “modern” and while they are still a bit too chunky to look truly “cool”, they are a far cry from ugly. ***Others have provided ample images / specification overviews, so my review is focused on convincing you to try these out, with some comparisons to headphones in and out of its price range.Ī 5 Point Scale – 1 being Bad, 5 being Excellent / Industry leading If they're comfortable enough for you, then you have a definite winner. As usual, YMMV, but these are well worth a good listen before plunking down your hard-earned dollars. This, to our ears, is probably their most striking trait and compares favorably, at least in that regard, with models from other manufacturers selling at much higher prices. If you're a soundstage and imaging nut though, in our rig these had a VERY wide throw, giving that uncommon 'outside-of-your-head' sense with real instrument placement in space, along with a good sense of depth. The treble region isn't devoid of defect, but is smooth and certainly less 'tipped-up' than for example, most Grados. Moving on to the midrange I find nothing noteworthy to complain about, with the M4U1 exhibiting suitable neutrality as to not draw attention to themselves (that's a major compliment). Most popular portable devices shouldn't have trouble pushing the PSB's to acceptable volume levels. Sensitivity is middle-of-the-road, fairly easy to drive. Now-the good stuff! Bass response in our highly-optimized system is nearly beyond reproach, with admirable pitch definition, dynamics, and extension down well into the 30hz range, which is partly due to the excellent seal of the cups against your ears, as well as the substantially-sized drivers. ![]() The price point these fall within puts them up against some very serious competition from the likes of Grado, Sennheiser, AKG, Denon, Sony, and many, many others. Since everyones' head and ear shape is obviously a bit different, as is their tolerance for discomfort, these are a pair that should be test-worn at length if possible prior to purchase in our opinion. Many aspects of their sound are truly outstanding, but (and it's a fairly BIG but) they simply aren't comfortable for extended listening sessions. Build quality, while mostly shiny plastic, feels fairly robust. The bright red color is certainly distinctive. These attractive 'phones are a mixed bag for us. These don't have that, but comparably are still damn good sounding. That has to do with the huge cups, I believe. ![]() I would also add that the DT 770's have a wider sound stage, with better musical separation. These are attractive stand alone, but they are just so big. The only reason to look at the MSR7's is possibly that they don't look as goofy as these. I have not heard the ATH MSR7's, but these are consistently rated higher. They will stay on your head at the gym, unlike the UE6000's, which have a lighter clamp and tend to slip off. There is a clamp to them, but it is light. These even come with an extra set of cups, which is awesome if you damage yours. Those are ultimately better for the genres I listen to if left without EQ, but the PSB's are more detailed and can be EQ'd through Poweramp or other software.Ī big plus for these (at least for me) is the replaceable cups, 2 detachable cords, and the hard case. ![]() This headphone does not emphasize those without an EQ. In general, I like a V shape and listen to hardcore, metal, metalcore, so treble and bass add a more lively sound. It has great sound, is neutral and detailed, but they are glossy and fairly fashionable. This has been called beats for audiophiles. ![]()
