Do not hesitate to purchase these phones; they can be a bit intense in the trebles but they are not yet broken in. I am using a Dac/amp to drive them, (something I got on Drop.com writing me for more details). The build quality is excellent making my other plastic ones (the brands starts with an S), seems like toys. More to follow…

First off these are the most comfortable headphones I’ve ever worn. When I was first shopping I thought maybe the ear cup holes were a little small too. Not the case and I have rather large ears. The AR5000 has excellent detail for its price and compare to more expensive headphones as well. The DT1990 Pro for one. They have amazing imaging!! Some of the best I’ve experienced at any price and it particularly shines in gaming. Hunt Showdown, Battlefield and even Warzone. I know precisely where my opponents are and how far away. The soundstaging is equally impressive adding depth to tracks I’ve never noticed before. I enjoy these even more balanced (I run them off a FiiO K11 R2R for games and music). It adds depth with the added power of my balanced output. One surprise I got when using these is the bass. It doesn’t hit super hard or deep but it’s more than enough to be immersive without washing out details. I can’t recommend these enough.

First off, I'm not a crazy audiophile but I have been into audio and recording for 30 years. I own Hifiman Ananda, Sennheiser HD6xx, Sony MDR-7506, Moondrop Kato IEMs, and now these. I listen through a fully balanced setup starting from my desktop gaming PC into an Aune S9c DAC/Amp and an Xduoo MT-604 tube amp. I just received these in the mail today and just got done with about a 2 hour listening session including the entire 50th Anniversary remastered Dark Side of the Moon album. My brief impressions so far will be focused on how these compare to the HD6xx... First off, unboxing them feels like a premium experience, much more so than HD 6xx or than the price would suggest. The headphone itself also looks and feels premium. Its light, but not as light as the HD6xx. They are also extremely comfortable, however be warned that if you have a small head, you might have a problem with these. My hat size is 7.25 (I think) and these are on the smallest setting on my head. On top of that, there is very little clamp force. The 6xx have FAR more clamp. This adds to the overall comfort but truth be told I would prefer a little more clamp, any sudden head movements do cause these to shift and may even fall off. Maybe I have a narrow head but I don't think so. Still, they feel very nice on my head, the pads are great too. There have been a lot of comparisons to the HD6xx and I see why. Aune engineers CLEARLY used the 6xx as a baseline for tuning the frequency response of these. They are so similar that I am using almost identical EQ settings for these as I do for my 6xx. However, there are differences that are immediately noticeable. First of all, I actually think these are more well tuned out of the box than the 6xx, at least to my preference. These without question have more low end than the 6xx (bass). They also accept more low end boost via EQ than the 6xx, although I didn't find it necessary to boost more than 4 db under 100 Hz. As far as mids and highs go, they are spectacular, and very similar to the 6xx. I actually cut a few frequencies out of the lower mids and boosted them a little around 12 kHz, neither of which I do with the 6xx, but thats just what I felt suited these. These EQ corrections are all very small, less than 1 db. Truthfully, the out of the box tuning of these is pretty much spot on. The biggest difference between these and the 6xx, and biggest reason to buy them over the 6xx, is without question the soundstage and imaging. They are flat out better, no question about it. The stage isn't as expansive as my Hifimans, but it really doesn't need to be. I find them to be a great middle ground between the 6xx and Ananda. I haven't spent any real time gaming with them yet, but I tried them briefly and could tell immediately that I'm going to prefer them for gaming. I can't really get more specific than that right now. So far I'm happy with these and I think anyone would be hard pressed to find something to complain about, especially at the price point. I wouldn't say I find these "mind blowing", but I do agree with a lot of other reviewers in that they are a very good "upgrade" from the 6xx, and without costing that much more. If you love the 6xx as I do, these are a really safe bet. All in all another winner from Aune.

Eu estou iniciando no mundo dos audiófilos e esse fone me surpreendeu muito! Bem balanceado, entrega muitos detalhes e bem fácil de usar - sem falar no conforto que é nota 10 também. Usei por 1 semana direto no computador, funciona muito bem, porém quando chegou meu amp/dac (estou usando um SMSL AO300) a diferença é IMPRESSIONANTE! Não deixem de usar com um bom equipamento.

Por el precio es excelente. Tiene una firma divertida, ligeramente alzado los graves, una escena sonara bastante decente. En general es un audífono muy completo, sin embargo, leí muchos comentarios que decían maravillas, que superaba a audífonos más caros pero no, es muy bueno y compite en su gama de precios.
