Pros & Cons
Pros
The soundstage is amazing. The only downfall is that separation isn't very precise due to how far away everything sounds. Still, these sound phenomenal. Sound quality is top notch.
The ad-500x headphones sound very good. The only thing that'd be better is if they were removable from the headset themselves. I also like that the headphones use the audio jack port instead of a usb port.
Great audio quality, not a ton of range on the bass but not much to say aside from nitpicking. What really sets them apart from their beyer & sennheiser counterparts is the comfort.
I listen to metal, electronica and a lot of vocal driven tunes which these will master. Only downside is that you can only enjoy these to the fullest by having flac audio. Best used with an amp or dac.
Cons
Bass is non existent. Audio is so corrupted its unusable. The jack on this headphone is really not the quality that i expected.
Cord keeps twisting and trying to coil back to the state it was in the package. Took a very long time of back and forth to get the warranty information and send back. Didn't expect a miracle.
Highlights
Quality
The sound quality is good and the open earpiece means you will not miss your phone ringing or door knocks
The quality and durabilty of these headphones are awesome
Build quality is ok they are not made in germany so dont expect much
They are equally as loud through the mic as they were with the amp
Price
If the price gets down below 175 again give them a go
Packaging/appearance
A hairband was too tight so i used a regular plastic band
Competitiveness
I got this to replace my 5yo gaming headset
Bought this model to replace my senn’s 280 pro hda major upgrade

Definitely not recommended for outdoor use as the sound leaks due to its open back design but your ears dont get hot and sweaty either when you use it for a long time

I dont like the cable that it comes it as it is non detachable and very long so for my personal use i would have liked a shorter detachable cable but others may like that

Seriously good for gaming imo but not worth the 220ish price tag i waited for boxing day and only payed 120 which was worth it

However they don’t sit on the head very well

They cup the heals well enough but the top head rest doesn’t support the overall weight of the headphones well enough to do so for periods of time
