I have just unboxed these headphones an hour ago and have been trying them out and seeing how they differ from the openback version.
Here is short and brief assessment which will include sound quality, build quality and comfort, to help you make a purchase decision
SOUND QUALITY:
Right out of the box I can clearly hear how nice and crisp the mids are. To really enjoy the clarity of the headphones you need to have the volume on 60% plus. When it comes to the highs, they are very good at best. Nothing to write home about. I tested the headphones listening to pop and rock and they were spot on. For 100$ they are a steal! Regarding the lows, they are not bass heavy headphones. It is also very difficult to compare the sound quality with the open back since these are closed and the sound stage cannot be compared. All I can say is if you liked the open back you will really enjoy these. However I feel I would be more comfortable paying 119$ instead of 149$
ONE AMAZING NEW FEATURE: the CABLE now comes with a mic and pause button!
Also please note these are noise isolating. Dont confuse it with noise cancelling.
COMFORT:
Right off the bat I can comfortably say that these are more comfortable than the open back. But what I really like about those are they are noticeably more sturdy on the head than the open back. The open backs move more easily on your head, but with those they feel amazingly snug and have a great fit around the ear. With regards to the inside of the pads they do not touch the tip of my upper ears at all (very very similar to the Bose QC35). I am writing this review with the headphones having been on my head for over and hour and I pretty much forgot I have them on cause they so comfortable.Even the leather padding on the top of the head is significantly more comfortable than the open back and stitched beautifully.
BUILD QUALITY:
These headphones are a quality build with mainly plastic components.
HOWEVER, one thing i noticed immediately is the earpads attract dust like crazy! they are made of a suede like material and are very dark black. They feel amazing but need to be taken care off and will show wear and tear if not used with care. Even the outer part of the earpad which has the logo on it is made of suede. I honestly feel these need to be used indoors to stay in good condition. If you want to use them outside and plan to sweat in them or have them on in the rain DO NOT think of buying them.
PROs: 1) Super comfortable 2) Amazing mids 3) Inline mic cable 4) value for money if you paid 100$.
CONs: 1) Average highs & lows 2) suede on pads attract dust easily 3) due to the luxury quality of the material of the pads you have to take extra care of them.

Los mejores cascos cerrados que he tenido

DISEÑO
Muy en la linea Sennheiser, muy elegantes. No hay mucho mas que decir, se ven bien construidos, buenos materiales.
COMODIDAD
La verdad es que son muy comodos. Son over ear por lo que no se apoyan en las orejas, sino en la cabeza, en el hueso para que me entendais. Por lo que los puedes llevar muchas horas sin que molesten. Yo a veces uso gafas y tras probarlos con ellas, quien las lleve sabra lo incomodos que son los cascos con ellas puestas, y la verdad es que estos son bastante comodos, presionan la gafa por lo que en algun momento empieza a molestar y tienes que descansar, pero muy bien en este aspecto. Lo que si que tengo que decir, es que los cascos son muy rigidos, es decir, no se pliegan para poder transportarlos mejor, y las orejeras giran muy poco. Pero esto no es nada malo, simplemente lo queria decir.
SONIDO
El sonido a mi me encanta. Sin ser audiofilo ni mucho menos, creo que todos los tonos se escuchan bastante bien. Cuando quiero escuchar Rap, ajusto los bajos y tal y se escuchan genial, con mas base. Tambien los uso para ver series y tal y se escucha genial, muy detallado
EMPAQUETADO
Vienen muy bien empaquetados, muy bien protegidos.
CABLE
El cable es intercambiable, y digamos que esta bien diseñado, tiene un pequeño tope el cual giras y se queda enganchado por si hay algun tiron de cable para que no se salga el cable. Tambien queria destacar que trae el tipico cable de siempre, el jack de 3.5mm y otro para poder conectar a algo como el amplificador de una guitarra.
AISLAMIENTO DE RUIDO
No son activos, por lo que tienen una reduccion de ruido pasiva. Al ser over ear, es decir te cubren la oreja entera, pues aisla muy bien del ruido exterior y no hace falta poner el volumen a un volumen extremo para no tener que escuchar lo de alrededor.
Como conclusion adjutare fotos de todo lo destacado. El unico pero que le puedo poner es que no traen funda para transportarlos, que resulta muy comoda. Pero yo compre una en ebay por 6 euros y es muy util para meterlos en una mochila, o para ir de viaje en avion y demas.
Yo estoy encantado con ellos, y los recomiendo 100%
