Holy Hell the High End!!
So my previous headphone experience is using a set of Pioneer SE-MHR5s for casual listening, and an old set of Sennheiser HD 380 Pros for Mixing. I was very excited to get a new pair of headphones for mixing music, as well as practical use such as voice calls and games.
Sound: This is why I ended up returning the headphones, the high end just sounded harsher than anything I'd experienced before, giving me ear fatigue after only a few minutes of listening. After applying some neutralising EQ I found music more listenable, and almost decided to keep them, but Discord Calls and Games I ended up finding equally unenjoyable, to the point of switching back to my old headphones for those activities. I want to point out that there is a great deal of clarity with these headphones, everything is nicely separated and generally I can tell that the sound quality is very good, but these headphones actively pained me to use so I can't excuse them.
Comfort: I really can't knock the comfort, I'm almost sad to see them go, they're incredibly comfortable and I wore them for a whole day with no ear irritation.
Quality: Solidly built, however they're a little inflexibile which is irritating, great for removable parts though, should become an industry standard practice!
Side Note: As these are quite new headphones, you will have a hard time finding good profiles for EqualizerAPO or Peace EQ, they haven't been made yet it seems.
Overall: Honestly I'm disappointed I have to send these back, they're very comfortable and good quality, but the harshness of the high end and the general heavy-handedness of the bass left me feeling fatigued and depressed about even listening to music, maybe you'll have a better time with them if you're used to high end sound but both of my previous headphones were more bass-oriented and the transition was too much! I'm thinking about making my next pair a set of Audio-Technica M50Xs, as I've heard the bass on those is great and the highs are more muted, which suits me just fine.

Too much hype
The construction of this headphone is awesome but for the rest, too much hype for the price. Everybody praise the comfort, for me, not the case. After some minutes started to fill too much pressure on the headband and it weight. The sound is not flat at all. Don’t advise for mixing, despite a lot of review on the web say that would be perfect for that. It is, indeed a bit better than the dt770 but still not flat. maybe it’s okay depending on the style you are working on. But for my style (rock) isn’t suitable. Returned and ordered the old and good Sony and MDR 7506. Night and day!

(2022) in 9 moths with light use the plastic thing in the headband came off, sent it back to thomann and they sent it to Beyerdynamic for repair.
(2023) the same with the second pair, the plastic membrane in the headband came off!! Definately this is the weakest spot in these headphones
