Affordable but....

Most irritating is the squeaking of the plastic you can hear in your head as you move about the studio. Price can't be beat. Will be replacing with the the 60s
The most affordable and accurate entry level headphone

Accurate sound (much more accurate than M50x which sounds brighter that I dislike), accurate (at least for me), and flat which may be boring and underwhelming because this won't give punchy basses.
Disappointing compared to m50(x)

I love the m50s(x and non-x) to the moon and back. In my opinion they blow some way more expensive studio headies straight out of the water. Not the m40x though. I thouroughly dislike the sonic properties of it. Especially for doing Rock/Metal stuff they are basically useless because the low end ist huge, flubby and undefined. I hate the m40x as much as i love the m50x. also for 15 bucks i should get a pair of replacement ear pads not a single (!) one. sadly i can't recommend these headphones to anyone really.
Excellent headphones for many kind of uses

I've had these headphones for 3,5+ years and I've loved them the whole time. Only now are the cables showing signs of breaking after all those years, so I've begun to look into a new pair (or a cable). The biggest noticeable bad thing was the ear pads and leather wearing off. Note though that at this point I must have used them for at the very least a year and a half before any signs of it happening. I used the headphones religiously almost daily, so something like that isn't so surprising imo. The only other thing I found annoying and actually was a bigger issue to me personally, was how long the cable is. It's super long. For some people that might be useful, but to me who is right next to my pc, phone, etc all the time, it was wasted extra cable that just waiting to get tangled. However, my overall experience with these headphones is widely positive. I hadn't used headphones more expensive than 30€ before these, and I was blown away by the sound quality. I cannot even imagine going back to those same cheap headphones. (Btw, I managed to break headphones like that within a year so either I grew up and learned how to treat my stuff better, or these are actually noticeable more durable) I learned to appreciate actual high quality audio files and they felt really good for mixing. I am by no means a professional with music making, but I do enjoy mixing as a hobby. By design I always really liked these headphones too, they fit on my head perfectly and there are options to change the size too. I love how you can rotate the pads and curl them up, it was just a nice extra feature. They do make a distinguishable noise when you rotate them though? I don't see it as a negative point however and I think it's funny I could recognize the sound of my own headphones even in my dreams. The ear pads rarely got too hot either, and overall, aside from the leather wearing of, they're very great. Great headphones, would recommend!

they worked great until one day I was taking them off and they broke.
