KPH40 Utility

Sound quality perfectly satisfied my expectations, equal in performance to my sennheiser XP 550 II, although listening with open ear headphones is a different experience than over the ear for sure, the soundstage is less immersive. Love how lightweight they are, I can wear them around my neck and forget them entirely, and I don't have to worry about indents in my hair from the band since it's so thin. I like the flat cords. When I move my jaw sometimes the area where the driver chasis connects to the headband creaks in a crackly sounding way, but it doesn't feel fragile and isn't a sound issue but a build issue. I do get listening fatigue after around 2 hours because of the pressure of the foam against my ears, but the foam itself is a fine texture. I ordered yaxi pads to fix this but I got the wrong colors so will have to return them and wait and see what kind if difference they make.

Excellent sounds for an excellent price. One of my favorite headphones, if not my favorite, in my collection. Comfortable, lightweight, durable. Use for yard work, working out and relaxing. Worth every penny.

Great headphones.

Bought them for my wife so when she is doing art work she can listen to music on her phone while I watch TV in the same room. I got these so I could get the adaptor cord for USB-C port on her phone.
