I could yap for a while but I’m gonna skip to the parts that matter. Took these out of the box, as skeptical as could be. Set up was straightforward and took less than 5 min. I then, immediately armed a track and recorded a hip hop verse, which I expected the latency to show itself. It did not. No issues. I then loaded up a track in the MPC…expecting delay…. There was none. I’d be careful mixing with these headphones, but in their defense, I didn’t allow them a full charge before testing. That being said, all I’d hoped for out of these headphones was fulfilled. No more wires coming off my desk. Time will fill in the gaps.
