What is the fit like with these for people who have larger heads?
Jackie B
on Mar 5, 2023
BEST ANSWER: My head is considered huge at 7 7/8 and these headphones make it ear to ear just fine in comfort. I wear these for hours on end. They are sound transparent so you don't need to remove them to talk to others.

Left and right sides are adjustable where metal goes into headband.
Also the headphones are a bit snug, but can be bent, (very carefully) to
improve fit.

I haven't noticed any bleed. I bought them for better bass response. I was using smaller, on-ear headphones. These have better bass but are a lot heavier on my head and isolate the room noise better.

Are these rebranded versions of the ISK HF2010/Freeboss HF2010? If so, these should be awesome headphones - I've read that the ISK/Freeboss have a roughly neutral sound signature with wonderful, wide soundstage thanks to the semi-open design... so this may be a worthy contender to keep an eye on, especially when it goes on sale for cheaper than the ISK/Freeboss!!

I like them much more than I expected to
If I could I'd give an additional half star to make the score 4.5. These exceeded my expectations. I got them at a sale price. I needed something to leave at the office. The sound is pretty good. I love the frequency range, and the staging is nice. They are a little bass heavy. That could be good or bad.
What I really love is the comfort. I can wear these all day long with zero fatigue, and no sweating. Nicely done, I would recommend for someone with similar needs.

Need a little break-in period.
Initial impression: "At least I didn't waste too much money on these nasty sounding phones!" Muted treble and bass, leaving a midrange mush, absolute garbage sound signature.
After 12 hours of moderate volume break-in: "Wow. Just wow. Now I see what people are raving about!"
Clear, airy treble, defined mids, and a clean textured bass. Not a basshead set of headphones, but full sounding.
These are a joy to listen to. I'm tempted to buy an extra set!

Right up there with the industry standard!
I consider the $80-90 Sony headphones as the industry standard for flat, uncolored sound. You'll see them in a lot of videos in recording studios on the talent in the booths. These Monoprice headphones are right up there with them in terms of sound quality and uncolored, balanced lows, mids and high frequency reproduction. I couldn't be happier with the value of these cans.

Solid, clear sound without being bass-heavy
Purchased these wired headphones because I wanted to see if they would improve my music experience. Paired with an inexpensive Alex Cavalli headphone amp (available from Monoprice), they really sound great! Super clear, they were tuned a bit more to the higher frequencies but mellowed out over time. Construction is super solid, they are comfortable, and I can't imagine getting much better headphones at this price point.
YMMV but I was very pleasantly surprised by these headphones! Some one mentioned the super long cord and yeah, it's a bit old school but if you're lying in bed, listening to music, you'll need that extra length...

These are solid well constructed headphones. The sound is clean and even. These have very good bass response but not muddy.

Great Sound Transparent Headphones
Comfortable with good sound quality. They fit heads large and small but don't over extend against the wiring!
