Deep Cup Over Ear Headphones

[None] I had seen a couple of headphone reviews about this new model from Rode, each one raving over the build quality and sound. The reviews were spot on and the quality of this product is stellar. Nothing, and I mean nothing, about these headphones feels cheap. When a product is thoughtfully designed, you are immediately aware. The ear cup foam and outer coverings feel so high end, not to mention comfortable. I've never had a closed back headphone isolate so well before. The shape of the earcups seals so well and blocks out almost all ambient sounds. This will come in extremely handy during my live recording sessions. I love the locking feature of the headband, which assures every time I put the phones on my head, the cups are in just the right place. A thick, supple cord, that can be installed on either ear cup is a nice touch. The sound is just right to my ears. Bass is solid but definitely not hyped or muddy. Mids and high frequencies are natural and detailed. These will be excellent recording/mixing headphones but I also enjoy them for just pure enjoyment sessions. When you receive a piece of gear and in the initial 5 minutes of using it your first thought is to buy another as a spare...well, I don't think you can get higher praise than that. These headphones feel and sound like they should be twice their price, at least. In fact, I would say at twice the price I would still buy them. Well done Rode!!!

[7.5 x 2 x 0.1"] Over the years I have gone through many headphones almost all of which broke. The head band broke or one of the ear pieces broke off. These are extremely well made and virtually unbreakable. More importantly, it has superb sound able to pick up from the lowest frequency to the highest! The sound is very rich, full and clear. Love them!

[USB-C] I am enjoying my Marshall Over-ear Monitor II A.N.C headphones. Lots O'padding, comfortable when I wear my glasses. The Noise cancelling feature is really awesome.

[0.8 lb / 0.4 kg] Over the ear headphones reduce ambient noise. Sound quality is very good for mono headphones.

[2.5 Hours] I personally don’t get on with in-ear headphones. Over-ear seem too cumbersome as I use mine mainly on dog walks and need to carry them in my pocket sometimes. The Major IV seem to offer the best of both worlds. They are on-ear, yet deliver a really good sound. The design is simple and different to most other headphones available. The battery life is astonishing. I’ve had mine for two weeks now and still haven’t needed to charge them. Really, really pleased with them.

[36 Ohms] I recently got my hands on the AKG K371 Over-Ear Oval Closed-Back Studio Headphones and I must say, I'm thoroughly impressed. The sound quality is outstanding, rivaling my higher-priced Sennheiser headphones. The AKG K371 delivers clear, balanced audio, making it an excellent choice for both casual listening and studio work. The design of the headphones is another highlight. With a sleek and smooth aesthetic, they not only provide comfort for extended listening sessions but also add a touch of style. The build quality feels robust, ensuring these headphones can withstand the rigors of daily use. However, it's worth noting that the AKG K371 headphones do not offer significant sound isolation from external noise. While this may not be a deal-breaker for everyone, it's an important consideration if you're planning to use them in noisy environments.

[0.85 lb] One potential issue is that the cup depth is not so deep. Initially, I thought it was going to hurt my ears. However, I realized that if I position the phones properly (in my case, slightly backward), this wasn't a problem. Overall, very satisfied.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My grandson loves them. It's very light.easy to carry and the cushion to the ear cup are so soft and comfortable. He loves how it lights up. It was very easy to set up and parents could set time limit. The best part is as a parent we could set the maximum volume through the app.

[Open-Ear] Ear pods always fall out of my ears and over or around ear headphones are heavy and uncomfortable after a while. So I was looking for something different and found these! OMG…they sound fantastic and I don’t even realize that I’m wearing them. I’m sold for life!

[Closed-Back] Nice headphones. Comfortable around the ear. The ANC works really well.
