I have had the headphones in my possession for about 3 weeks now, the market research for headphones was similar to buying an apartment, with a budget of around 50 euros, the options were audio-technika m20x, akg k92, akg k240, sony mdr-v55, and some philips with a lower price.
Initially, I did not buy the m20x because the k92 is more comfortable, ALTHOUGH the m20x is Tuned for enhanced low-frequency performance, for the sony I read conflicting reviews and I was not convinced.
Positive:
-- They are balanced and especially if you have a good source, you will hear WONDERFUL sound, if you listen to youtube with a mediocre card, etc. you have no hope of enjoying it and it is not the headphones' fault.
-- They fit nicely around the ears, it will take you 3 days to get used to them if you were only wearing earbuds, but then you will wear them for 12 hours and forget that you have them on your head.
-- They don't leak sound, I played them at 50% on the PC, had them around my neck, and couldn't hear them playing.
-- Sound isolation, they are not earplugs, you can hear something, but it doesn't tire you out, if you really want to hear what you are listening to, if you increase the volume a little, it has very good sound isolation. So it is as much as it should be. Otherwise, they wouldn't be comfortable if they had more padding.
-- Bass, just as much as needed, you turn up the bass, you hear the bass, otherwise, you hear clarity.
-- Clarity, excellent.
-- 3 meters of cable, do you want to sleep and wear them? No problem, the cable is long enough. Do you want to attach them to the back of your computer? No problem. Do you want to go to the bathroom? No problem. In all cases, the cable is long enough.
-- Very good build quality, no comparison to sony at the same price.
-- Beauty, although subjective, personally I don't know if I am more satisfied listening to music or having them in front of me and looking at them.
Negative:
-- They are not suitable for outdoor use, clearly they are for home or a bus.
In comparison to the Sony MDR-XB500 that I had and still have,
-- the sony has better bass and better sound isolation with a 1.2-meter cable, but with the sony, after 1 hour at most, you either have to be patient or take them off, the ear sweats, the head gets hot, etc.
Conclusion, If you want more bass, go for the m20x, if you want more comfort, go for the k92 with a more balanced bass but the same sound quality, if the budget is over 50 euros, then check out the Audio Technica M50x
