Settled on these about a year ago after looking for some inexpensive, closed-back studio headphones. Decided on these @ $59.99 on sale.
The features offered at this price point are pretty good, they have higher impedance than your typical 'made for mobile' cans and nice flat frequency response.
They are slightly on the tinny side to me, but that may be because my head is slightly too big for these and they do not seal well and you will get some ambient noise, which brings me to fit: If you have larger ears or on the larger side of average for head size, these WILL pinch your ears and start to irritate you after about 4-5hrs. Not great but not terrible.
Unfortunately, possibly due to the added strain from my big head, the plastic at the top of the right ear piece where it connects to the sliding metal band cracked after about 1 year after purchase and broke off completely a few hours later.
I would recommend these to someone looking for a decent studio reference headphone with *some* isolation on a budget, provided they don't have a big head like me

Great budget headphones. I bought these to monitor a Focusrite Audio Interface. Plugged them into my phone to test them, and wow! Great sound, lightweight and comfortable. You can't go wrong.

I now have 3 pairs of these. For my head/ears these are an amazing deal. I can wear these for 3-5 hours or longer with no issues or pain and the sound is very well done.
By far the best deal in music making headphones under $100.

for their price they are amazing. I am a music producer (not a professional one) and these are highly sufficient for what I do. These have lasted me about 1.5 or so years now, however, recently I needed to replace the pads because they had gone hard and the pads were, in my opinion, quite expensive, which is why I only gave 3.5 on quality not 4.5.

these headphones are alright, if youre a producer, id suggest saving your money for a pair over 200$...these are great for gaming but not for music production.

I use these headphones up to 6 consecutive hours per day as a complement to my work, and they never leave my ears sore. Good sound quality, perfectly adequate for classical, radio, everyday listening. Comes with a nice long cord too.
