I have a Sennheiser HD25 and a Beyerdynamic DT770 as a basis for comparison. Frankly, none of this price category and the character of its sound is completely different. It has a fairly linear sound image and I would classify it somewhere between the two headphones mentioned above. It doesn't have the deep depth like the Sennheiser or the beautiful height like the Beyer, but still, in my opinion, it doesn't need to be more expensive for monitoring. Even if I use it a lot, I don't get tired and it's not uncomfortable to wear. The use of materials and the design are also very demanding. I am completely satisfied with the product.
