Is the return of wired headphones driven by a simple desire for better sound quality or is it part of a backlash against modern tech? Thomas Germain tries to find out.
Back in the day skullcandy was said to be overpriced and not very good (but good looking). Try Sennheiser if you want something sturdy and good sounding (but quite boring looking)
Looks are fine, it’s just things that get annoying. One sometimes doesn’t charge. They have a touch panel on each one so you’re forever changing things. Sound quality is just ok - not a problem, just not a wow.
Ah ok, I have the wired ones so no buttons or such, and my closed HD ones was like you say, good but no wow, the open ones, like the 598 with a good DAC are very very good sounding IMO.

Yeah, they’re acceptable.
I had plenty of Sennheisers back in the days of actually having a 3.5mm jack to plug into. Shouldn’t have tried other things really.
Acceptable only? Is it because of the looks?
