What a nice surprise – headphones that sound good right out of the box. These DR50’s have a comfy headband and nice foam surrounds around the ear.
Heard thru a Marantz 6000 OSE and a NAD preamp – when I first fired them up they literally disappeared, I was not aware I was listening to headphones. Bass was good and articulate, mids smooth, detailed, focussed and a touch laid back, highs sweet as candy but lacked ultimate detail.
The biggest praise for these is they do not sound loud, for me the biggest accolade attributed to good sound (when my girlfriend says its too loud, she means its distorting) . For the price – excellent, I doubt you will find better for less money.
