Disappointing build quality
Very good open-back headphones sound-wise. They have a somewhat lacking low-end, particularly the sub-bass, but the mids and highs are very good, as well as the staging.
The build quality and materials, on the other hand, are rather disappointing. The velvet used for the cushions gathers a lot of dust that is not easy to clean, and the top cushion is simply glued on and in my case it is falling apart after only half a year of normal use.
I would recommend them for the sound, but at this price point I cannot justify the poor build quality.

- Sound quality
- Highs and mids
- Staging
- Comfort
Contra
- Build quality
- Bass
Some incorrect information in the specifications
The cable is only 1.8 m long, the connection is 3.5 mm (with 6.3 mm adapter, not the other way round!) and the headphones do not include a "universal cable remote control".
With a longer cable, it would have received 5 stars.Pro
- Very light
- Very comfortable to wear (even with a large head)
- Very good sound
- 3.5 mm jack, without external power supply
- Good price-performance ratio
Contra
- Cable too short (significantly shorter than specified)
High End Sound
Pro
- Sounds audiophile
- Workmanship fits, chic
- Open headphones and wide frequency range
- Price / performance ratio unbelievable
- Great that there are still HiFi bargains, became aware through test reports
- Shows of course the quality of the preamplifier
Great bang for the buck
Pro
- Very neutral sound, very well balanced frequency curve
- Very large scene
- Great performance at this price level
- Bass, trebble, high, all are very clear
- Not too boomy, bass are very well controlled
Contra
- Too long cable?
- The previous white HD 598 looks better
- Needs a good amp to give its best, of course
Meets the expectations of rigorous HIFI.
I've owned a (tired) HD 540 for years, a wired momentum for the ride and rediscover a newer, accurate sound with great depth and width, and indeed it doesn't flatter and it's super nice. Light and covering without crushing my big ears. NO REGRETS. I gave myself a gift that I won't sell again!
Big sound at a small price
Pro
- Light
- Balanced sound
Contra
- Depending on the DAC for me a little too present in the highs
