Our Verdict
These headphones do not excel in any use case. They struggle with subpar noise isolation and leakage. They also have a dull sound quality.
- Decent audio reproduction.
- Decently stable design.
- Poor noise isolation.
- Leaks a lot of sound.
- Limited audio controls.
Below-average for critical listening. They have a lackluster sound and their closed back design limits their soundstage.
Mediocre at best for commuting. The noise canceling is weak and struggles in loud environments, which is not ideal for the level of noise involved in commuting.
Mediocre for sports. They're relatively lightweight. However, they're a bit cumbersome and unstable for strenuous exercises.
Subpar for office use. They leak quite a bit and do not isolate much. You will still be able to hear the chatter of a busy office.
Average for home theater use. They have a somewhat decent sound for listening to music and watching movies. They also have no latency since they're wired. However, they have a short audio cable, so unless you have an extension cord they won't be ideal for comfortably watching movies from your couch.
