A little disclaimer to begin with. I own Klipsch speakers and love the sound. I have owned the Klipsch computer speakers and wish I had not changed them out.
Material: For the price, one may have metal head pieces instead of the plastic material Klipsch provides. The ear cups are small for an over the ear headphone. Th Klipsch ear cups are smaller than the Sony, Beyerdynamic, Sennheiser HD 598 and the AKG product pictured. While comfortable, the small size is an not favorable characteristic.
The headphone cable is a thin wire that does not lock into the headphone. The manufacturer does not supply a 3.5 mm connector. I find the cable a little short for my tastes.
Sound: I am impressed with the neutral aspects of this headphone. For a closed back product, the sound reproduction is pleasing. These compared well with the Beyerdynamic product. I find the sound more accurate than the Sennheiser HD 598. The Klipsch product lacks a little to me while listening to classical music with the AKG headphone pictured.
My preference in headphones is an accurate sound reproduction while no emphases on a particular sound frequency. If you tastes are inclined to base frequency enhancement, you might want to look at other brands.
The case fits the headphones. There is not room in the case for other items.

Sound gut aber nervige Firmware und nicht durchdachte Hardware

Leider hat er nervige Mängel: Die Bluetooth LED blinkt bei Verbindung, das darf sie ja. Sie ist aber so unpassend angebracht das man als Brillenträger bei Dämmerung oder im dunkeln ständig das blaue Blinken im Brillenglas sieht. Die LED lässt sich leider nicht ausschalten. Was soll man also machen ? Zukleben ? Mal ehrlich - das kann es nicht sein! Weiterer Mangel: Ich habe den Kopfhörer auf und höre Musik. Plötzlich ein Warnton. Akku leer denke ich und schaue auf mein Smartphone. Da steht 30 % Akku ! 30% Hallo das ist fast ein drittel ! Da fängt das Ding im 60 sec. Takt an mit piepsen. Da ist nix mehr mit entspannt Musik hören ! Bei 30% hat das Ding nicht zu piepsen, sonder seinen Job zu machen. Der Warnton kann von mir aus bei 5% Akku kommen aber nicht bei einem Drittel. Also das ist enttäuschend für eine sonst ordentlichen Kopfhörer. Ich habe mich zum Kauf entschlossen gehabt weil auch meine Lautsprecher zu Hause von Klipsch sind und ich mit denen eigentlich sehr zufrieden bin. Preis - Leistungsverhältnis ist bei Klipsch normalerweise super. Aber das hier geht garnicht. Kann bis auf Klang, Verarbeitung und Aussehen leider keine Kaufempfehlung abgeben.
