The sound quality is absolutely
The sound quality is absolutely brilliant. Very flat, with a boost in the high-end presence. Great sound stage, and depth perception.
What I find awful is the adapter situation. I mean seriously?!?!
What it is: XLR > ¼” | ¼” > ⅛”
What it should be: XLR > ¼” [OR] XLR > ⅛”
Why would you want to have two adapters daisy chained?!?! You have the XLR, just make both adapters terminate to an XLR! The male ¼” to female ¼” connection is ugly, bulky, outdated, unnecessary, and downright infuriating.
Also, not-picky I know, but not even genuine Neutrik parts for the cable terminations… Some cheap unbranded copy instead. They feel so cheap and rubbish. Swapped mine out for genuine Neutrik connectors and it gave me that premium feel and reliability/longevity of what you would *expect* from headphones that cost over $1,000!!!
