Climate Pledge Friendly
Owning good headphones, I have a set standard of acceptable sound quality and presentation. Cans like my Shure SRH1840, Beyerdynamic DT 880 Edition 600 ohm, DT 990 Pro and T90, Audio-Technica ATH-M70x, Panasonic RP-HD10, and others offer me a wide palette of great sound. I wasn’t expecting to smile in the first three seconds of listening to the CAL! out of the box.
The bass is big, full, and plenty solid. There is a hidden subwoofer here! The mids are very warm, not in a muddy way, but in a smooth, pleasant presentation...bright and clear-sounding. Imagine the sun shining on a clear day. The highs are sharp and defined enough to not leave me wanting more sparkle.
These are balanced headphones, sounding true to the tracks. That’s one thing that I find impressive about them. They’re not dark or bright, but just right. No veil here. Dull tracks sound dull and harsh tracks sound harsh, but in a forgiving way. Any flaws are evident but tolerable.
Another thing that impresses me is the soundstage, which sound as wide as behind my ears, and good depth with sounds layered right in front of my head, not inside. It’s a very speaker-like sound presentation and image. Instrument separation and definition is admirable. There is not a wall of sound coming out, but a clear, defined showcase of music.
Every element of a track seems like coming from its own individual speaker in the soundfield, versus everything being mashed together like a lot of closed cans. Imagine a meal, with every ingredient carefully positioned on the dinner table around
All of this is happening so good on just $70. These do not sound like $70. They are on a higher echelon. Compared to my other headphones, they're obviously a bit muddy and not as refined and as crystal-clear. But they sound great.
Sensitivity is good, not needing much volume to sound loud and good out of my iPhone 8 Plus and my old, reliable LG G3. No need for external DAC and amp. Now, having said that, out of my Schiit Audio Vali 2/Modi Multibit combo...seriously, WOW! They sound so beautiful to my ears. For real...I’m impressed with them.
Whatever the box says about their sound is true even if it reads like marketing. They’re not lying! I’m joyful and happy with these cans. I have them on right now as I type.
On the cons, they’re not too comfortable since they’re on ear, not over ear...but my big ears still manage to enter the ear cups and be squished, so they almost hurt a bit after a few minutes. Well, I don’t care...I’ll just re-adjust.
If you’re a budding audiophile...or just someone looking to upgrade to something that sounds good with everything and you don’t want to be tangled in audiophilia and non-sense, I HIGHLY recommend these. IMO, they look great and sound great.
God bless and thanks for reading!

Nice headphones
******UPDATE****** Well, after 9 months of use, these headphones have given up the ghost. I'm pretty disappointed about this because I loved using them! So, caveat emptor. They're nice headphones at a decent price, but they may not last too long. ******************** In the interests of full disclosure, I received this item through Amazon Vine. However, I try extremely hard to write my reviews as if I had paid the full purchase price, for I think this is only fair for those who read and rely on reviews. I've always been picky about headphones. I find earbuds pretty uncomfortable (at least for extended period of time), but larger headphones like these tend to be too heavy. Lighter earphones can sound tinny and have little bass. These headphones seem to avoid all these problems. The sound quality seems quite excellent to me, though I'm admittedly not an audiophile. Neither the treble nor the bass seems pronounced; all sounds seem quite balanced. These headphones are also very light, which I appreciate, and sit comfortably on my head and around my ears. They also look good (and look fairly expensive)! The packaging is excellent, and would look nice given as a gift (and the recipient might think you spent more than you did). I've uploaded a couple photos to give people a chance to see the packaging. The cord is already quite long, but they also give you an extension cable if you need more length - nice! A bag for the headphones is also included so that you can keep them somewhat protected. Overall, I think these are quality headphones at a fairly decent price.
