Excellent Latency Performance but Unbalanced Sound
I purchased these headphones two weeks ago. In terms of latency they perform exactly as advertised. Playing a MIDI keyboard or recording vocals feels immediate and responsive which is a big advantage for production work.
Although I did not have high expectations regarding sound quality I still found it disappointing. I mainly use HD 600 headphones in my studio so I naturally compared the two. There is a noticeable boost in the 3–6 kHz range which adds clarity but becomes fatiguing even short sessions. In practice I often have to lower the click track level to stay comfortable. I also find the low end response somewhat lacking.
Overall the low latency performance is excellent but the sound tuning did not feel balanced enough for the price point. With a more neutral frequency response these headphones could be much more compelling.
