It’s in “best headphones” overall… and… I’d agree with that. Price-to-performance ratio is impressive, and I can even listen to music with them on my old Samsung Note 3. But they’re not even mentioned in the “best audiophile headphones” category.
Probably because they’re “hard to get” (massdrop only) ? I don’t know.
We factor in the price (cheaper headphones win over pricier ones if the difference isn’t worth it), feedback from our visitors, and availability (no headphones that are difficult to find or almost out of stock everywhere).
But they’re #12 in their “critical listening” list (see at the bottom of the page). Sennheiser HD 800 S are #1. HD700 are #6, HD58X are #12.
EDIT: Still, it’s weird. Plantronics and gaming headphones are in the top 10 for “critical listening”… Anyway, I trust their graphs… I don’t read their reviews.
