Pros

  • At $100 bucks, packaging feels quite premium to open and the inclusions are overall pretty nice... the accessories included are more than sufficient and that’s something I respect too.
  • Imaging, is quite respectable, you can hear the sound moving around with decent accuracy and usable sense of position. Separation is decent as well.
  • With an slightly vocal forward and warm-ish sound presentation, the Distant Mountain 10th Anniversary Edition presents an easily approachable soft V-shape sound that prioritizes a rhythmic and relaxed listening session without totally ne...
  • the Distain Mountain Anniversary has a pretty sturdy metal build... even my big head doesn’t use it fully extended, and so far my hair hasn’t gotten caught on it, so is very usable
  • the bass on the DM10th surprisingly is from the best things this on-ear has to offer... The overall bass is well balanced with the rest of the sound, it notably focuses on the punch of the mid-bass, with a pretty quick and fairly nuanced...

Cons

  • It feels a bit muffled, and a bit closed in sounding. Also sounds somewhat compressed. I think that has to do with the tuning as it doesn't seem to emphasize anything in particular but it does lean somewhat warm. My main gripe overall is...
  • Not for people looking for a very clean and technical sound. Not for people that want very rumbly and physical sub-bass extension. Would not recommend it for guitar driven music genres (Rock, ballads, etc) because of very controlled treble.
  • Mid-range and vocals is a bit of a mixed bag because depending on the mixing of the content you are watching, where you place the headphones over your ears, and if you are using the included DAC or not, the experience can significantly c...

It feels a bit muffled, and a bit closed in sounding. Also sounds somewhat compressed. I think that has to do with the tuning as it doesn't seem to emphasize anything in particular but it does lean somewhat warm. My main gripe overall isn't with the tuning, it's with the technical performance. It doesn't seem to resolve very well.

With an slightly vocal forward and warm-ish sound presentation, the Distant Mountain 10th Anniversary Edition presents an easily approachable soft V-shape sound that prioritizes a rhythmic and relaxed listening session without totally neglecting the performance, and sporting a sturdy metal build alongside sleek retro looks.
