The headphones are perfectly balanced in terms of quality / price paid. Personally, I now feel them well on my head, but at least in the first few days I felt that they were pressing a bit hard on my ears. A convenient location must be found, but more than likely getting used to a new thing comes into play. Maybe the "spring" that ensures the pressure on the head/ears also "leaves" in time. For what I'm looking for, I think the sound is very good, full, clear, pleasant highs and bass. I feel the "open" specification as if it were "closed". I can't imagine how the "closed" ones would feel, but they cover the outside sounds very well. All in all, they are headphones that are worth buying, without pretending to be a big audiophile, but not an unapproved one either.
