It takes 6 month after me using this headset to write a review, yes, that a long period but worth it.

For first 1 weeks, I'm burning this headset using usually method as recommended found on net, easily turn to high volume and play any song for about 30 hours total of burning. Note do not use this headphone when burning session, it will make your head dizzy.

After the burning process, I am starting to listen some music, the result is very shock. I've never listen to such detail audio and instrument before.

For media player I am using Foobar2K

My conclusion for this headset :

PRO :
Cheap (MYR 150)
Good audio quality
Detachable cable easily you to change a much better audio cable in future
Light yet sturdy design
Good for music and movie experiences

CONS :
Warm, you ear easily sweat
Tight Clamping (naturally fix in time)
Totally not for FPS gaming due the bass (Battlefield 3)



For better audio quality, you may get ASUS Xonar Essence STX.
