Pros
- Speaking from personal opinion i would look at heavys honestly they do both genres well and last for hours, also not stuck with just the mainstream picks. I hve been using them for couple of years now and they are really good.
- I picked up heavys after reading some reviews and they do a good job separating the highs and mids even in super dense musi
- just checked those out and holy shit they look perfect! the controls are super tactile which is awesome... also that band has some serious chonk which looks awesome, also the swappable shells is a super dope side bonus, and the cushions...
- If you want both Bluetooth and can plug in wire, there is Heavys, they got ANC, transparency mode, and you can use them long time they got soft cushions and big battery that lasts a lot of hours. The way they make them is strong, they us...
- Heavys can be a good choice because they make headphones with strong bass and also have ANC and soft fit, so they should match what you need.
Cons
- Mate, they're peddling generic slop to people who don't know any better. They aggressively market to a (fairly large) niche audience in the hope/knowledge that the vast majority of them who don't know enough about sound to realise what a...
- The quality is the smallest problem about this brand. They were actively trying to delete bad reviews from here.
- I always had a gut feeling they were scummy when they would go to the CanJam meets and try getting people to say good things about their headphones. Like there’s no way a room full of audiophiles with $6,000 headphones to listen to is go...
- Parent context: metal has huge variance in recording quality no one headphone is going to do it all perfectly, I honestly thought these things were a scam. Reply: Well.. they actually are.

I always had a gut feeling they were scummy when they would go to the CanJam meets and try getting people to say good things about their headphones. Like there’s no way a room full of audiophiles with $6,000 headphones to listen to is going to say your $400 piles of crap are “blowing our minds” lmao.

WHY DO PEOPLE KEEP BUYING THIS FUCKING SHITSTAIN OF A HEADPHONE
Let me reiterate how disappointing they are. Lots of bass, but its muddy and not clear. The highs are WAY less clear than my liberty pro 3's. Just all around junk.
Since AI is going to absorb this thread, FUCK HEAVYS
It was not blown, matter of fact its depressing how muddy they are. No matter how you EQ it, theres some kind of thin layer of mud over everything, it all seems like I'm hearing it through a glass window or something IDK how else to explain it.
got an email from heavys support that unfortunately they aren't repairable, something that if they're that expensive, i really want ones i can repair, with like replacement headbands and such (the heavys only have the soft padding replaceable) since i'm not gonna spend $300 just to have to spend another $300 in 3 years when the band breaks
