    Great headphones came with an extra set of earpads that were broken

    Great headphones came with an extra set of earpads that were broken
    This generation of popular studio headphones comes with extras including both coiled and straight cords and an extra set of soft, plush earpads. Unfortunately these earpads came ripped open, exposing the foam inside. It's too bad, they would have been nice if they weren't broken. They are great headphones otherwise.

    Los recomiendo ampliamente, la calidad de audio es suprema, tiene todas las frecuencias equilibradas y esta version mkii tiene almohadillas de tela lo cual le da una mejora al audio y se escucha diferente que con las de cuero, hagan las pruebas con las almohadillas, tengo otros audifonos de mayor precio y estos estan a la par con ellos, son para estudio de grabación por eso el cable es de 3 metros.
