Advantages: SONY quality Sound for rock and electronic listeners 8/10 Surround bass One ear wire Microphone
Disadvantages: Boomy bass, both in electronics and rock Feels cheap materials No soft backing below the size adjustment point (not critical)
Comment: Before that, I used the MDR-ZX600 for almost 4 years, everything was fine with them. After 3 years of use, one ear fell off. I planted it on glue and prophesied for another year, until the second fell off. All substrates are very worn down to meat. With these I hope this will not happen, although the materials seem to be much cheaper. The wire is rough, the bow itself is all made of cheap plastic. They sit comfortably, but put a little pressure on the head, the ears sweat a little in 2 hours. The sound is generally satisfactory. It differs from the 600 in a more booming bass, but at the same time with a clearer sound. The bass sometimes drowns out the track. The bass situation is corrected by an equalizer. Wire from one ear, with a microphone just below the collarbone. Through the mic, the sound is like on a speakerphone, but everything is heard clearly. There is also a button: 1 press play / pause, 2 press the next track. They don't look as expensive as the 600s looked. Surprisingly turn in the opposite direction, substrates back. Previous models had a logical forward turn. I don't understand this decision. In general, the ears are pleasing, but they cost about 1-1.5k cheaper than the declared 4k, for which I took them. 4.5 / 5

Advantages: Really high quality sound Bass does not drown out music Sits comfortably, can be used for hours Excellent sound isolation Good microphone The volume is high Swivel design Great design, wide choice of colors. Price / quality, if you're lucky with the price
Disadvantages: Slightly flimsy No folding design => take up a lot of space No cover One control button is not enough, but it is not critical at all Not very good hold on the head, if you tilt back and forth or jump a couple of times - they fall (but I have a small head, heh)
Comment: For a long time I chose as a gift to a friend, was inspired by the characteristics and reviews and bought them for him and for myself too. Both were very pleased. For 4300 I would have thought whether to take it, but for 2250 the question was no longer standing. The sound quality is really great, friends like to borrow headphones from me sometimes just to enjoy the sound. I have no complaints about bass or volume, I listen to a variety of music. I often travel in buses, it's nice that road noise is well isolated and you can enjoy music. And you can call someone, outside noise does not interfere with either the sound or the microphone. If you turn it on so as not to hear anyone, then the surrounding is not loud, but everything that plays in the headphones is still heard. I really miss the foldable design.Unfortunately, the headphones take up a lot of space, and, coupled with their relative flimsy and lack of a case, you have to transport them very carefully. Well, at least there is a rotary design. Although, for six months and two long journeys with them, pah-pah, nothing happened. The ambushura are very soft and pleasant, but it's scary to accidentally scratch the material. The flat cord is very comfortable, the L-shaped plug inspires me more confidence than the straight one. In general, there are many pluses, and of the minuses - only my fears, which are not justified. I advise my friends.

Advantages: Sound and not the worst quality of materials.
Comment: I did not plan to buy new headphones at all, because I am the owner of not a small number of "ears". But as soon as I listened to them in the store with my smartphone, I was very surprised how much I liked the sound. Well, since I did not have sony headphones, I decided to take it for a change. I only listen to electronic music, house, ambient, chill out. But the most interesting thing is that Sony mdr 10rc lay next to it, which are much more premium and the price has dropped by more than 2 times! Ie even cheaper than zx660. Nevertheless, I did not take them, for one simple reason. They play very sluggishly in combination with a smartphone, apparently they require an amplifier, I don't know. That is why the zx660 is the right thing for a smart.

Advantages: Sounding good, just good. Basses are enough, highs are legible enough. The cable is flat, never tangled. The microphone pleased me, it works both on the iPhone and on the Playstation 4, which is a good plus, since it has not worked on any headset before on my console.
Disadvantages: Sometimes the bass is really too much. Perhaps the equalizer will save, but I have not bothered with the setting yet. I still want the sound to be perfect out of the box. Also, the ears get a little tired, and I would not say that the headphones fit very tightly.
Comment: These collars are my first experience among consignment notes. I chose by listening in the store, then I looked at the rating on the market. In the end, I was pleased with the choice. I will not switch to "plugs" any more. Excellent value for money, I recommend buying.

Disadvantages: I haven't seen it yet, the sound quality exactly depends on the source, on devices (smartphones) with a dedicated audio chip everything is just gorgeous.
Comment: They cost their money for 200 pro = Sound, design, quality

Advantages: Sound, sit comfortably, convenient location of the answer button (no accidental presses)
Disadvantages: Did not reveal
Comment: The sound is good and clear. The bass is deep, honest. I compare with the SONY 550 series headphones. The sound is noticeably clearer, the bass is deeper, the sound is more transparent. In general, money is not a pity.

Advantages: 1. Speaker 40 mm - there is space in the sound: as if listening to a room with an orchestra. This is cool. Good dynamics. 2. High sensitivity - very loud. 3. Everything is good: convenient, beautiful, elegantly packaged, good wire, except ..
Disadvantages: 1. Sound. A boxy, awful sound out of the box with an ADE resonance at 200-300 Hz. No brightness.Hope it plays out, but right out of the box the sound seems awful. Perhaps best suited for outdoor use in noisy metro environments to compensate for the failure of the bottom. 2. Strong pressure on the ears - squeeze the head! It can be uncomfortable over time, but this is individual.
Comment: Medium to good model. Score 3.45. You need more brightness, evenness. Boxing is generally not comme il faut for Sony. Experience of use - a day. I bought it for 1444 at a discount in a big red store with the letter M. I listen to headphones around the clock: in the subway, at work, after work. Sitting at a computer, working. Before that, there were inexpensive Sony XB250s - Great open sound, after five years! The wire fell off in one ear. At first, we also played as a subwoofer - played out over time. I listen to a lot of different music: Jazz (GoGoPenguin), Rock (The King and the Fool, nobode.one), Different electronics. I'm mixing music, but not with these headphones. Picky about the sound - from the word "very". The last photo shows the equalizer setting, at which it is comfortable for me to listen to jazz on Radio Hermitage: a large wide cutout at -3.6 dB 125-175 Hz to remove boxiness, buzzing and bubbling, and +2 dB at 8-16 kHz, to add air, brightness. That will do. UPD: changing the rating from 3 to 4. Warmed up. Less boxy. The ears listened. Sound pretty good I can recommend. Rating 4/5. I show which equalizer setting is comfortable for the ears on Yandex music. Seriously compensating for the lack of brightness and cutting off a lot of the middle booming lows.

Advantages: Appearance, sound, construction, design, flat wire, microphone with a call answer button.
Disadvantages: Not found yet.
Comment: I was looking for strong headphones from a good company, I decided to buy these. They look great, albeit a bit budget. An unusual move with the same texture of the soft headband and the plastic sliding elements. I really like the sound, especially after a short warm-up. They sit comfortably and firmly on the head, do not press, do not fall off. Sliding elements inside are made of metal. The microphone picks up sound well, but the headphones give out a rather quiet, slightly wheezing sound when talking. Not critical, everything is well audible. In general, I am very pleased with the purchase, the price (2 590 rubles) is fully justified.
