I’m sure there are much pricier headphones out there that may sound a teensy bit better, but I wouldn’t know, because these sound great already. I play classical piano and use these with the N1X. I get migraines easily, but these are light enough with a small enough clamping force that they are quite comfortable.The cord is easily long enough for any digital piano use, let alone using it with a PC, and the headphones also feel pretty sturdy. So far I love them and use them pretty regularly. My boyfriend also has used them and they fit him well, despite his head being larger than mine.Overall, for the cost? This is the one ;)

The moment I put these on, I was so glad I bought them. They are very comfortable - and I have a big head. They sound great and have deep bass. Excellent noise isolation. They feel well built so I should have them for a long time.

You hear everything evenly on these headphones and I really like that about them. Everything also sounds clear. The cord is long and straight. Definitely a worth it kinda headphone.

These fit perfectly over my apparently large ears. These are the only over ear headphones that I own that I can comfortably wear for many hours.

Out of the box I found the mids a little shouty and harsh. I put some other more oval shaped leather thinner ear pads and it was magic, clearer sweeter air vocals and more noticeable treble. In headphones I own, I currently rate these the best for the money for non-bass heads. They do not have a lot of bass but it's flat and more accurate that way. I prefer it for well recorded music. Anyways ratings of my best using the Fiio BTR5 as the DAC amp through LDAC 990kbps:1) Sennheiser HD6002) Yamaha HPH-MT5W (modded with pads, fat pads won't work well, you need thin close to the ear for these)3) Fostex T50RP MK3 (heavily modded with internal damping and sound absorbing material)4) Koss KPH30i5) Koss Porta Pro6) Marantz Pro MPH-27) Audio-Technica ATH-M40xThe Fostex (heavily modded) and Yamaha (with pad mod) are a toss up for 2nd place, some tracks I prefer the Fostex and some the Yamaha. Yamaha HPH-MT5W and Koss KPH30i stock are great value audio that performs really well. None of these headphones are bass heavy but the Marantz Pro MPH-2 and ATH-M40x have more bass.

The headphones are great! More than that, Mr. Bartholomew at Piano Héritage is one of the best sellers I've dealt with. He stepped up and helped solve a problem after shipping issues arose due to the covid-19 pandemic. An absolute gem when it comes to communication and customer service. I highly recommend both these headphones and this vendor for going above and beyond!

TL;DR These need EQ and the ability to edit sound signature on your system to produce YOUR sound preferences. If you have a satisfactory solution to those requirements, you can get these to sound however you want (including reference monitoring) and be the best at doing so, without variance.One star off from 5 because of comfort (not bad but not great) and the fact that they won't be their full potential without a good EQ and DAC (wouldn't even say they need an amp). Intentionally nitpicking to avoid a perfect score so as to negate perceived bias and acknowledge that these aren't for everyone.When I initially got these, I hadn't looked into many video reviews/tutorials. Use them primarily on my LG G8X phone with quad built-in DAC and high quality streaming from YouTube Music and Spotify.Running them stock with totally flat EQ, they just don't have an enjoyable sound. Closer to neutral but still off in the mids (recessed as others have noted). Bass is not balanced consistently as well and is either too much when there's lots of instrumentation or lacking oomph to give vocals a nice impact. Treble is fine, nothing to complain or praise about.Then I applied EQ . . . I've never owned another pair of headphones that is so responsive to changes in EQ and DAC filtering. Obviously this can be good or bad depending on the type of user you are, but if you like tailoring the sound on each of your setups, these Yamaha's can be a "jack of all trades" powerhouse. If you just plug and go with your devices, these will be boring and not reference-level enough, maybe feeling like a waste of money. When calibrated to your precise sound signature of choice, though, I've found these to outperform every other set I've owned, from Audio Technica's M40x to Beyerdynamics and Sennheisers. By outperform, I mean in every consecutive area (except overall comfort): bass, mids, treble, distortion, clarity, sound stage/width, imaging. It's strange how everything just falls into place with these when you know you've hit that sweetspot in reproducing whatever frequency response you're after. I'm not sure how these stack up against much more expensive headphones, as all the reviews I've seen compare them to similarly purposed/priced headphones, but I don't see how you'd be left desiring much more after using these.In conclusion, I like to think of these as more of a sound platform than simply a pair of headphones. Their tuning out of the box is odd, but Yamaha created what must have been needed to allow the listener to turn the sound into whatever they want. They either got lucky or are audio geniuses!Recommended highly for the value, at $200-$300 I'd still recommend these considering others I've tried.

Sound quality is great, as well as the quality of the materials/object. But after about only an hour they hurt the top of my head and also squeeze too much. I am a small woman, I think my head is average size. Can't wear for long hours so sadly I will have to buy different ones.
