Our experience
When we took the headphone in our hand, it looked sturdy and well built. The ear cups lined with an extremely soft material gave an unmatched listening experience. It fit comfortably on our head without a lot of extra pressure. According to us, it can be securely and comfortably used for long period. The ANC of the headphone did a good job when we turned it on. In fact, we were unable to hear anything at all apart from the songs we played. The sound was punchy with a solid bass, mid range frequencies, vocals were well controlled, and the high frequencies were al at right place. We definitely recommend this, if you are looking for a new headphone or just thinking to change your old one.
The bottom line
The headphone is beautifully mastered in every sense of word. High-grade comfortable leather ear cups and active noise cancelling (ANC) up to 45 hours makes it a must buy for every music lover. Even if you remove the batteries, the show will not stop; it can be used as a normal stereo headphone and as you expect from any Klipsch product, sound quality is never compromised. With all these features, I am sure that it will get a decent response from the market.
