Cons

  • These things are deliberately designed to sound very, *very* flat to our ears, which makes them great for audio engineering, but kinda crap for casual music listening.
  • There are plenty of reviews discussing the frequency response. They are geared more as studio monitors but even then they sound veiled and weird.
  • Just bad there are no fakes
  • I plugged them into my qudelix 5k and what I can only describe as muffled boxy sound . I’ve never heard anything so bad .
  • I own the NDH 20 and they do not slam like my Audeze's. That guy confuses elevated bass frequency for slam. With that said a little bit of EQ does really help.

I've been using these for recording my voice over since 2024 and love them, but today after pulling them out to work I noticed my left ear pad is peeling and coming off, exposing the interior foam.

I would also say, £150 for the ndh20 is suspiciously cheap
