«  Very good quality / price ratio, a success! »

Value For Money : Excellent
How long you use it?
1 month, mainly for musicobalade.

Did you tried many other models before buying it?
In the long term:
- In the same range Sennheiser PX200
- In the same price Sennheiser HD 25-SP
- Not rated in order of quality (sound) Ultrasone PRO 900, Grado GS1000, JHAudio 13PRO

What is so special that you love the most, least?
+
Good space and a very good stereo separation of elements, a mix made pretty clear although not super deep.
Headphone and live music, a rather detailed and transparent (but not too much sail defects stamp anyway), live far enough from the horrors of headphone dry and lifeless other headphones in its class in the competition (I think especially in Sennheiser PX200 that I had available and I have my father has passed on in less than 2 due to poor delivery blatant, deliberate view!). A test of headphone Fnac had me immediately convinced of the 15 headphones "player" in all price confused listening it really stand out to my taste.
Easy to store, only the left ear cable, seems well made and solid, rather comfortable to wear even for long hours, well equipped with connectors (jacks 3 sizes!) Detachable cable and replaceable so if something goes wrong. Good insulation from the outside world on the go.

A low invasive and can not very well controlled, it is only real fault for this price range
Compared to the higher ranges (and higher prices of course) may seem a bit flat, lacking depth of restitution (3d) despite the very good separation of the elements of the mix.
Small flats for the smoothness of the cables so their supposed fragility and non-angled jack therefore more fragile especially Walkman walk in the pocket ...

How would you rate the quality / price? With experience, you do again this choice?
In absolute rating 7/10 (because there is no 6.5) so considering the price and portability is a very good note. Yes I would do probably the choice.
