Buying call

The YH-C3000 are wired closed-back headphones with a 50mm three-layer Armodynamic driver, a 5Hz to 55kHz response, 34-ohm impedance and memory-foam pads. Build and comfort are excellent, and the sound is detailed and incisive. That analytical tuning won't suit everyone, they're wired only, and at 330g they're not light.
