Our quick take

The alternatives to consider

Focal Listen - 4.0 / 5

Focal Listen review: Design

• Closed cup for sound isolation Passive wired use only (no Bluetooth/noise-cancelling) Memory foam padded ear cups Soft-touch headband Chrome-plated earcup exterior Locking system for 3.5mm cable

Focal Listen review: Sound quality

• 40mm titanium drivers 15Hz - 22kHz frequency response Generally neutral sound profile

To recap

Affordable and comfortable, as wired-only headphones go the Focal Listen make a good case. Only the sound profile is a bit too thin, so will only be suitable for those averse to bass and seeking a neutral listen.
