My preferences so you understand my Model One thoughts: I usually reduce the 2k to 4k bands on EQ but don't mind the 8k and 16k on most headphones I've tried. Beyerdynamics like the MMX300 and Amiron Home way too bright even if that detail is nice in small doses. EQ required. My ears don't touch their earcups and the depth is good but my ears don't protrude out much (see Obama lol). Amiron have much less clamp than MMX300 so they're the most comfortable cans I've ever worn. Hifiman Edition XS are way too bright/analytical and "airy" for my taste. Made me realize I don't care that much about soundstage since it sounds artificial to me. I prefer a more intimate sound. Bass is good but not enough quantity to satisfy me (not a basshead but I want it to be present throughout the song/game/movie). Very comfortable due to massive earcups and light clamp, but they're awkward to handle when putting on and off due to shape and size. Sony WH-1000XM3 sound pretty good to me with stock tuning. Earcups slightly too small and not enough depth for my ears so they're not comfortable. HyperX Could Alpha wireless sound okay stock with no offensive frequencies. Bass is tuned higher on these out the box which suits my taste. I apply light eq. Comfort is almost perfect. I have to tweak the fit every now and then since my ears lightly touch either the cups or the driver, not sure which. No issues with clamp, feels medium to my head. Audeze Maxwell I just received so I haven't had much time with them. Too shouty for me in the 2k and 4k frequencies. But the great thing is eq gets saved to the headset itself so no problems here. Earcups big enough but don't offer enough depth, so my ears touch the drivers. Gonna have to buy replacement pads no question. Kinda heavy but ear discomfort keeps me from judging if weight is a problem. I wear headstrap one notch below max on one side and max on the other. Max on both sides is also fine. Audeze LCD X 2021 Agreeable stock tuning. Nothing stands out as a problem/annoyance tuning wise. Respond well to EQ. Earcups are spacious. Clamp is perfectly low. I had to adjust these to the max size setting, so maybe that's why the headband plus the weight start becoming noticeable after about 30 minutes, but I could wear them for 2 hours if I wanted. Once I take them off I feel more relief than I would've expected. I was able to tune these to sound similar to my KEF Q350s which I love stock. Returned but ordering the GX which I have high hopes for to be my go to open back cans with no EQ fussing. Should take care of the weight issue as well and they're less expensive. VZR Model One out of the box tuning is dark sounding to me, which is far better than if it were too bright. This allows me to crank up the volume when gaming without the fatigue. Bass is awesome. Sure LCD X bass is technically better, but these are great at this price point. I love the rumble and presence, which go a long way in immersing me in games/movies. I increase treble if I have access to EQ, but no big deal if I don't. Mid range tuning sounds kinda wonky, so I EQ if I can. Earcups are just big enough to fit my entire ear. Depth is good. Headband feels a little uncomfortable at first due to it pressing down instead of just resting, but I suppose I do have a big head so I just about max out the self adjusting strap. I hate the cable btw. It easily gets tangled because of its flat design. If it's not perfectly aligned, it coils and tangles. Wish it were round like every other cable. Overall my go to wired closed back headphone, especially if I don't want to fuss with EQ. Build quality is fantastic as other reviews mention. Highly recommend unless you want detailed/analytical headphones out the box or if tonality is a concern in the midrange. EQs fine in my experience. Read more

Excellent headphones with impressive sound quality. They reproduce music with incredible detail, revealing nuances I had never noticed before. I was so captivated by the sound that I started rediscovering my old favorite songs. The bass is particularly impressive. Deeper and fuller than what I’ve heard from other headphones in this price range. Some people say the bass might be too strong and the mid-highs less pronounced. That was also my first impression, so I tried tweaking the sound with an equalizer. However, I soon realized that every adjustment somehow took away from the magic of the sound. The overall balance was disrupted, and the listening experience just wasn’t the same. Over time, I gradually reset everything back to the factory settings, and after a month of use, I came to the conclusion: these headphones are perfect just the way they are. The factory tuning is spot on. Read more

Sound is subjective so no opinion is perfect. I have over ten headphones, some are expensive. These are my favourite for movies due to the patent tech used to create spatial awarness. With music use stereo input - that's how CDs are usually recorded. It's fine for gaming two. I use an external DSP/AMP which enhances 7.1 sound, and the headphone give true spatial like feeling (not just horizontal, but vertical too.). Usually 7.1 sound with any headphone is a gimmick. It's not really very convincing. (Speakers of course are different and are excellent.) The difference with these headphones for gaming is the spatial feeling. It's not perfectly directional (I have tried many, and it never works properly with headphones). But the wide open 360 degree up/down and around feeling, if connected to good quality equipment does give a real general feeling of where the sound is coming from in games. For music, and movies it is just excellent. Music: good direct from source device set to stereo, gives a rich and, "like I'm there," feeling. But depends on qualtiy of recording and output device very much. For movies. If you have the correct equipment it's possible to reproduce a sense of immersion. Space, distance and realism with these headphones. I also tried with simple TV headphone output while watching a blue ray movie in PCM 48Hz 2 channel. Amazingly, the design of the headphone drivers is uniquie and even a simple connection to a TV or PC with linear 2 channel out put, still feel more spatial than regular stereo. They are not cheap, but worth it in my opinion. Also better than some of my more expensive ones. Just remember. Sound is subjective, so opinions always differ. Read more
