That's a very subjective question, but you can think of these like entry level "audiophile" headphones. They have a relatively neutral sound signature more like audiophile headphones and will perform very good out of most sources. They will not give that extra 10-15% that higher-end audiophile headphones will give you as improve your sources. People buying more expensive audiophile headphone area also looking for particular sound signatures and may want headphones that color the sound in specific ways.

For under $100, you won't find a better all around headphone in my opinion. It may not be the best at any one thing, but it's not bad at anything. It also responds well to equalization.

While they will sound great out of a cell phone, I wouldn't suggest these primarily for portable use. They are large, don't fold up, and don't block out any external sounds. These are good for listening around your house.

Someone in the room, if it's quiet, will be able to hear that you're listening to something, but they'd have to be very close to have any inkling what it was.

These leak a ton of sound even for open headphones. More than any other headphone I own and I've owned quite a few. People won't be able to make out a conversation on a call, but they'll know what you are listening to.

I still highly recommend them particularly at this price point.

These are legendary at this price point, but they won't fit you if you have a small head.

Thanks for the post. Now we just need the VModa Boom Pro's or the Antlion ModMic's to go on sale too.

These sound amazing, open soundstage great for gaming audio, but I'm pretty sure $60 is regular price for these. I know when I got these back in 2020 I paid $62. $90 is being way too generous.

Been using these cans primarily for gaming for the last 2.5 years. I love how they have basically no clamping force, and are really quite light. I can wear them for hours at a time and kind of forget they are even on.

Definitely agree the open back create a great sound stage. I liked them so much, that I just ordered a spare at this price. These don't go on sale as much as they used to back pre-2018. Thanks OP!

Wish the pads are little bit thicker but I have bigger ears. Pretty comfortable to wear for hours, highly recommend!

Are these audiophile headphones? If they are, anything else I need to buy to get the best sound out of my Note 9?

They are great at 60, it's been a while since I seen them here. Before 60 was a very common occurrence but I would definitely recommend. Sound great, just be careful they are open back so they sound like speakers from the outside perspective.

Anyone have an opinion on these compared to the SHP9600? I believe Amazon has those for about $71.
