Pros: -Very clear -Great build quality -Extremely comfortable

Cons: -Mid-bass bump requires some EQ

Overall Review: Some good, detailed reviews are available for these headphones, and for the most part, they capture the pros and cons pretty well, so I won't go into too many details. They sound good, are very comfortable, and many people would be satisfied with them as their primary headphones. On sale, they're a great deal. I'm mainly comparing the Amirons to Sennheiser HD650s, HiFiMan HE 400i, and Beyerdynamic DT 990 pros. I think they're clearly superior to the DT 990s in every way (smoother, better dynamics, etc.). I also like them a good deal more than the HD650s, but it's probably more of a personal preference than objective better sound quality in all regards. I gave away the 650s because I found them dark-sounding and... boring, for lack of a better word. However, I do think the 650s were better in certain aspects, such as with vocals. But generally, I would take the Amirons over the Sennheisers. However, the comparison I'm not so sure about is how they stack up against the HiFiMan HE 400i (my primary headphones for a couple of years). They are both clear, have decent (if not earth-shaking) bass, and pretty good treble, with minimal sibilance. While I think the Amiron has better bass extension, it also has a distracting mid-bass bump that I've been fighting with for a while. With an EQ adjustment of -4 to -5 dB between 166 - 333 Hz, they sound a lot better to me, but I still can't shake the feeling that they just don't quite sound accurate. Certain material sounds just about perfect, while other things sound ever so slightly bloated, while still somehow managing to sound thin in terms of vocals. Regardless, these are minor issues, and overall I like them, thanks to their all-day comfort and the fact that they actually sound alright plugged into my phone (my primary setup involves a couple of solid-state headphone amps). They sound good enough that now I want to upgrade my other components to see how they do with higher-end amps and DACs.

Pros: These headphones are comfortable to wear, even with eyeglasses. The build quality is excellent. The cable jacks are not proprietary -- I use a Corpse Cable with 1/8" plugs with these headphones. The sound is excellent. It is revealing and detailed without being harsh. Much better to my ears than Sennheiser HD650s/Massdrop HD6XXs--good treble extension without rolloff. The sound is engaging without being fatiguing. And bass is full with solid attack. Good separation. Much more "front row" than Sennheisers. They also are a bit better than my AKG K701s. Both are revealing--and I still love my K701s--but the bass from the Tesla drivers is more convincing and immediate. Coupled with my Schiit Lyr 3, these are a go to for home listening. I love my FLAC collection through these and the Lyr.

Cons: None so far.

Overall Review: At the discount price at which Newegg frequently offers these (just north of three Benjamins), they're an obvious choice for great home listening.

Pros: Fabulously clear. Unmuddied bass, mids and highs. Peakish, but tamed easily with Soundworks TruFi or SoundID - or normal EQ. Fed with a good or a great amp - I use a THX AAA 789 - they become simply monstrous. I love my Koss electrostatics, but these truly justify the purchase of the 789. Clarity _almost_ on a par. The difference? Bass that doesn't quit. No tubbiness. Sexy mids, and sweet highs - minding the EQ, of course. Tchaikovsky, Mozart, Fleetwood Mac or Joe Bonamassa. David Crosby. OK, I'm an old hippie. David Gilmore? Yeah... The mark of good HP? They basically disappear, and leave you with the music and the musicians. These deliver. Sound stage is wide, and precise enough. Turned down, they are intimate. Up high? You are in the thick of it. Did I mention how fun they can be? Yeah... Don't expect just an ok amp - one without the headroom and range to drive what are definitely HIGH Impedance headphones - to deliver on these. First thing I got for them was the 1.4M balanced cable straight from Beyerdynamic. They were ok without it, but Oh Em Gee! with it. I guess I already had the adapter for 2.5 mm 4-pole plug to XLR. Yeah, the HD650 sounded good, BUT... You have been warned! Replaceable cable? VERY good idea. These are keepers, and Beyer will help you keep them going. I'm liking German engineering - still!

Cons: Cons? Con Air? You have to have that good amp, and preferably with the balanced connection. I'm not overly thrilled by the way those VERY round ear cups sit on my head. Not ever really sure they are in the right spot, without messing with them for a while. Still, they ARE quite comfy. I haven't had any issues with them on the few loooong torture sessions I put them and me through. Short term, you hardly know they are there.

Overall Review: These are splendid examples of what dynamic drivers can be made to do. I don't see much reason to go further up their line to, say, the T1s, but you might want to try. I give NewEgg credit helping me making this move, because they went Eggsaver on these and saved us 37.5%. Made the addition of the balanced cable nearly painless! In truth, I was just waiting on the sale, and couldn't be happier. The Sennheiser held place until these came in range, and helped me feel ok about the amp. On my head, these show the plan was 'sound'. This is synergy, given glorious expression. IMHO, these are worth the MSRP, but much better at the Eggsaver price. They stayed there for about two weeks or so - y'all had your chance! If you took advantage, say so! If you're on the fence, maybe they'll come back down again. The T1 and T5 owners are right - this technology really works, these sound great!

Pros: Solid construction Fantastic clarity and stage

Cons: Would prefer mini xlr in headphones...

Overall Review: I'm a pro location sound mixer. Have probably 8 pairs of DT770 around the house, if not more. I'm using those for my work and to sleep in since when DT770 came out. For work I can't use open back design, so these are first pair with open back since HD650 I owned in 1994.... I'm happy, with a good DAC and tube amp, this is heaven for my psytrance starved ears.

Pros: Easy to drive. Very comfortable.

Overall Review: A good general purpose over ear headphone. Very open sound with good tonal balance.

Pros: The Amiron feels reasonably sturdy, despite being very light. They are comfortable enough that it is pretty easy to forget they are on your head while immersing yourself in a game. They are very comfortable for music listening and movies as well, though I don't achieve quite the same level of immersion as in games due to the lack of interactivity. The Amiron provides a wide sound space, which is particularly noticeable while playing games. Picking out sound distance and direction is practical even with large numbers of simultaneous sound sources. The Amiron supports balanced output devices without modifications. I was also surprised at the difference in clarity when connected to the balanced output of the Pioneer XDP300R. I had previously assumed I'd need more dedicated equipment to hear a notable difference. The bass is expansive, the response is fast, and well controlled. The upper mid-range is slightly recessed, but the expansiveness in the mid-range is impressive and more than makes up for it. The treble is bright and clear with plenty of power while still sounding refined. The Amiron can be used for hours without feeling fatiguing. It has a slightly warm and relaxed sound profile. Combined with the more expansive sound stage and comfortable fit, it makes a great set of headphones for games, movies, and shows.

Cons: The only cons come by comparison to the similarly priced DT 1990 Pro. The Amiron is not as sturdily built as the DT 1990 Pro. The Amiron adds a warm color to the sound which is undesirable for studio work. The DT 1990 Pro has even better bass control and a quicker, more aggressive bass response. The DT 1990 Pro has more power overall.

Overall Review: Despite the cons mentioned, the sound profile isn't actually that much different to the DT 1990 Pro. The Amiron can easily justify its place in Beyerdynamic's line-up depending on what you are using them for. For studio purposes I prefer the DT 1990 Pro. It has a drier, more neutral sound. Loud, punchy music also tends to sound somewhat better on the DT 1990 Pro. It is also plenty comfortable, though the Amiron is even more so. For gaming and movie/show watching the more expansive soundstage and more relaxed upper-mids and treble make the Amiron the superior headphone. To make a simple comparison, the DT 1990 Pro gives the impression of an intimate listening in a private room. It's loud, clear, and the details are right there in your face with no coloration. The Amiron sounds more like a concert hall. It's expansive, smooth, warm, and relaxed.

Pros: Can use Balanced

Cons: none

Overall Review: Perfect

Pros: -the sound profile are very wide and bold especially for video games and music -the open back design offers better cooling for your ears and for when you communicate with others. -I can wear this headset for hours and it never is uncomfortable

Cons: -i personally like a headset that clamps on your head with a bit of force, these headphones will slide off your head if you shake it. -the ear pads aren't uncomfortable but definitely could be better, the earpads are kinda like a cotton plush pillow, not memory foam.

Overall Review: The head phones were a great buy, i bought them when they had the black firday sale and i can say it was worth it.
