Não vejo muito sentido comprar ele nos dias atuais, longe de ser um fone ruim, porém acha coisas melhores, mais completas e as vezes mais baratas. Um bom som, tem uma boa mesa, mas é só isso, bom. Não chega ser algo tão musical, solo de levantar, ou as vezes até é mas tem coisas melhores na concorrência, não é aquilo tão brilhante, arejado e detalhado, tem um palco ok, bom, o binaural e bom, bem divido, bom detalhamento dos instrumentos (nada de outro mundo), Agora o que tenho que parabenizar é o sinal do bluetooth, é de surpreender, é o que mais faz valer o investimento. O app é bom. Leve, sem muitos problemas e com uma boa opção de recursos.
