Probably the best value closed back headphones available. I was going to get another pair of open back headphones, but what I really needed was a closed back pair for the isolation they afford. These are very neutral with a very natural bass. Not boomy at all. The highs are not fatiguing and the mid range is smooth. I listen mostly to classical music and find them to be more suited to that genre than my Grado GS1000e. No hesitation in my recommendations, except to say that closed back will never present the listener with the soundstage presentation of open back headphones. Just like headphones in general, will never give the soundstage of full range speakers.

I've been an Audiophile since the early 70's (which makes me a Geezer!) and I have owned myriads of equipment but on 4 sets of head phones. Some ancient 29.00 Sennhieser headphones from the 70's and a pair of Sennheiser HD 580's for about 20 years (with which I have the most experience) and some AKG thing which I haven't really listened to much from Massdrop. I wanted closed back headphones and these being a Beyerdynamic Tesla varian appealed to me. I have a NuPrime DAC 10H at present with an excellent headphone amp and an Antipodes DX server (mostly FLAC) but the objective is to get a good DAP, so I've patiently been waiting for the NuPrime Omnia P 1 (which was supposed to be released for sale in January '17 but so far nada. I wanted closed ear since I was tired of the 580's open air sound. Overall sonic quality tends a tad toward bright, but not enough so to bother me Bass is good. They are quick which I put down to the Tesla drivers. At my age I've lost a bit of High Freq. hearings, so being a little bright isn't a bad thing. Overall, I'm generally a loudspeaker listener, but these will serve my purposes quite nicely. Fit and finish is of high quality and they are comfortable. So these get my recommended thumbs up!!!!Read full review
