TLDR: comfortable; good sound for the price. The most comfortable 'phones I have worn. (I'm a glasses wearer.) The one-size-fits-all, no-adjustment-needed headband is clever, and it is very comfortable on the head. The ear cups fit around my ears with room to spare. The fit is not tight enough for strenuous activity, but these are headphones for chilling out with. The earcups are light plastic but seem durable enough. The cable is light and flexible, but I'm not sure how long it will last in a "chuck-'em-in-the-bag" scenario. Sound: Not as sensitive as some other 'phones - you may need to tweak the "headphones volume" knob on your audio interface. The channel balance is OK - on my pair the left seems fractionally louder than the right. Easily fixed in software. The overall sound at first reminded me of the Grado SR80e. Lean bass, quite even treble, but not as analytical (detailed) as the Grados, so probably lacking in the highest octave or so. That makes for less tiring listening when the session goes past a couple of hours, though. The K52s also lack "attack" in high-dynamic-range music like symphonies - you don't jump in surprise when there's a sudden crescendo, probably due to the lack of bass. Overall the dynamic range is a little compressed compared to some of the best phones. Get a pair of Sony MDR-7506es if you can afford them and the 10-pack of replacement earpads you'll need. If you're on a budget or a short-term project, these are fine for midrange sounds (interviews; tenor and above vocals and instruments - most music these days). I wouldn't use them for monitoring a double bass or a triangle, though.Read more Read less
