JBL's top of the line.
Powerful and neutral sounding.
Very comfortable.
These have an active option with rather crappy sounding processing.
But turn off that option (depress earcup button for a couple of seconds) and these sound very good - as you'd expect from JBL a robust and ballsy sound but with a lot of detail.
Closed back with very little leakage.
A couple of cosmetic issues -
- small tear in one earpad, see pic. Replacements available online if it bothers you.
- the headband earcushion became detached. This is usual with these 'phones, the glue just turns to a soggy mess after a while. So I took the pad off, clraned the headband up and attached some self-adhesive foam. It's not the neatest job in the world (see pic) but it's fine imo and the cans are very comfortable to wear.
£35 inc UK del.
