Are these headphones sibilant/bright? Do they produce annoying sibilance? Do they make you tired/fatigued after long listening sessions?

I have small ears so after 3 hours or so of non stop use, I get tired. But my friend who has bigger ears can wear them longer. As for them being bright. I think that if you put the gain to 0 or every music you play isnt fluffed you will get true sounds. Not too much bass or mids or highs. Compared to Seinheissers which I love, its a close 2nd to those and those are amazing

Yes after long periods of time I do get tired but I do not notice any sibilants when I listen to them for short times or long times!

These are the best pioneer headphones. I bought them as a gift for a Dj and he absolutely loved them (they were stolen) he swears by them

Oh no.. by far the most comfortable head cannons I've ever put on.. I've worn them for a max, 5 hours on the way to Chicago and not one moment of discomfort..

I do not have any sibilance issues, the only time I have experienced this is when it comes from my own computer. They do make my ears a bit tired and feeling fatigued, though I wear glasses and with any headphones I've used I have found that they generally become a little bit uncomfortable faster then when you do not have classes. Keep in mind, I also have extremely sensitive hearing so my ears can become tired and fatigued a bit faster then most. Though I do recommend these headphones and they are a very good buy for the price and quality you will get. If you have a friend who owns one or know a place you can test them, I would highly recommend that to see if these would be the headphones for your listening experience.

I wouldn't say these headphones are particularly bassy. I feel like they simply provide a clearer listening experience than some others I've tried, but in my experience they don't tend to amplify any one aspect or another of music.

They are very good for drowning out ambient noise, hums, rumbles, buzzes, etc. They are not really supposed to drown out irregular noises, like speech or loud music. I find they do make what I am listening to stand out from the back more sharply, and deaden pretty nearly all external sounds somewhat.They are also well padded, which keeps other sounds out even when you don't have the headphones switched on.

I ordered them months ago, and really like them. In fact, I thought they were so comfortable that I fell asleep with them on several times! Good luck, and hope you enjoy your new headphones!

I wouldn't say they are TOO quiet, but they are not the loudest either. But in their defense, I have been told to turn them down @home/library. They are comfortable. My only complaint is I wish they had an inline volume control. I have to resort to my device for that... Good Luck!

I really like my headphones, but honestly believe that a good set of earplugs would work better. They will work without music playing. I sometimes do this on a plane. They do an excellent job of blanking out the engine drone but I can still hear people talking (albeit at a much reduced volume)

There is a bit of that although I don't personally find it overly annoying. The sound is mostly mid-range white noise which is good for me as I am a day sleeper and need to drown out other noises. Hope this helps.

No ear fatigue. I listen to all kinds of music: Ambient/Smooth Jazz/Classic Rock/New Age/Southern Rock...all types....all sound levels...for HOURS! As far as gaming....I'm too old for games (66.)

In my opinion these are great headphones for the money as long as you don't expect to wear them for an extended period of time. I can only stand them for an hour or so...After that they hurt my head and my ears regardless of how I set the size. For what I want/need them for they are perfect though. As for the creaking, I can't say that I've ever noticed it, but I will admit to only using these when sitting at a computer; I've never tried to walk around with them on.

I'm not a sound expert. These headphones are super comfortable. I can wear them all day. I love them but can't really give a qualified answer to a technical question. I wear them mostly to keep my sound private from other people who are around me.

Ahh, a fellow sufferer. But I'm afraid that's the only consolation I can offer. Not only is it likely these earmuffs will NOT completely block all the noise, there is a distinct possibility that you will get headaches if you try to wear them overnight. I speak from experience. I have lived over twenty years in residential hotels, and the very worst thing about life in them is the noise from TV and music. Nevertheless, I presently wear these earmuffs, and the headaches have diminished with use. So there is genuine hope that you may eventually be able to sleep with them. I do so every night. And they are the closest to being soundproof of any earmuffs I have tried. They are better than Peltor's preceding iteration, the 3M Peltor H10A Optime 105. And they are better than Howard Leight's Bilsom 1010970 Thunder T3 NRR30. But there's no such thing as earmuffs that completely block out all sound. Unfortunately.

I would say fairly, the sound is acceptable. To qualify that, I have another set up I use for enjoyment listening, with definable bass and range. This is to me perfect for just hearing the dialoge etc and to follow the TV as I fall asleep. I wouldnt use them for say, exercise. Just my opinion. Still love what I use them for, and still use them every night. Best of luck.

Well they are a bit on the heavier side. Which makes sense because they are technicly made for professional use. When I say that I mean in terms of sound but also time usage. Like no one is going to use them (professionally) for more than 2 hours on end. But in terms of using them for just listening to music then after a while the weight does get to be a problem for people. Personally I like them it would be nicer if the headphones were lighter but nothing is 100% perfect. In the end it depends on the consumer (you).

High end is definitely exaggerated on these. It borderlines on harsh but could be described as just extremely crisp depending who you ask. I have tinnitus and I've started to realize that the increased high end on these cans are irritating it quite a lot, even at low volumes.

I know this isn't the best environment, but I listen to music for 2-2.5 hours every day on my commute, on the subway. How much disturbance would this cause others? My previous headphones were the Sony MDR-V6. I wish I could listen to music in a quieter environment, but I don't have the time, the subway unfortunately is the best stretch of time I have every day.If you think these would disturb others too much, is there a closed model you recommend? I can't see anything by Sennheiser at approximately this price range and quality, that has a closed back.

I bought them for concerts and riding my motorcycle. They the sound in without sounding muffled. For me they do not reduce noise enough for sleeping. I use foam ear plugs for that.

I use them at work and I have a very loud, annoying co-worker that they help me tune out. They aren't noise cancelling per day but they do work really well.
