thinksound ov21 Closed Back Wired Headphones with Microphone - Made from Sustainably Harvested Wood for Music Lovers, Audiophiles, Podcast Creators and Studio Professionals

I've had this for a solid while now, and have been meaning to write a review. I gave these pretty much every chance, replaced cables, cleaned ports etc., and eventually I've had to just face the harsh reality that these are really average. - The sound is a bit thin - The bass is definitely lacking no matter how you switch the EQ - listen to "Mel Made Me Do It" by Stormzy (imo best Bass going) - these barely pick the deep frequencies up at all. - Music overall just sounds a bit weird on them? As a professional audiovisual producer, I bought them as a lightweight pair for music recording/mixing, but I just can't trust them with the mix, the quality just isn't good enough. They look great, I love the wooden aesthetic, they're super comfy can wear for ages, and are a good size. The cable I got was a bit dodgy, good length, but can't be sure it was the cable's fault (but it is still my best guess, and has since stopped working). Dropping £200+ pounds on these feels like a bit of a robbery. £80 would be the max I'd pay for them. They feel like a decent pair of headphones wrapped up nicely for the price of a high range set. Sadly, really cannot recommend, if you're willing to splash the cash these cost, I'd genuinely suggest looking elsewhere. Would love to hear thoughts of owners! I know this is a small independent business with a good mission, really why I bought from them, so I really, really wanted to be able to give a positive review.

I love these headphones. The thinksound ov21 headphones boast a top-notch build quality, a comfortable fit, and an intricate sound profile. While I've owned several over-ear headphones, the ov21 is admittedyly my inaugural experience in the world of audiophile-grade sound. So, I put a lot of research into this purchase. My music has never resonated so vibrantly, revealing layers I hadn't appreciated before. Despite being closed-back, the ov21 delivers a vast soundstage with clear instrument differentiation and layering. As the reviews online indicate, their value significantly exceeds their cost, and they offer a great experience,. Aesthetically, they stand out with their minimalist yet sturdy design and premium materials. Bottom line — they offer a superb listening experience worth every penny.

Though I have one complaint, I'm still giving the headphones 5 stars due to their excellence in fidelity. I am astonished. The bass response is felt in your feet, from the upright to the short - scale to the fretless Jazz Bass and the Rickenbacker and its wide dynamic range. On the other end of the spectrum, the highs come through bright and clear as you feel your eardrums get warm from the friction of the vibes. Phil Collins' cymbals from 1970's era Genesis are crystal. Ok, time for the bummer. One of the cables that come with them (one has a built-in microphone, the other does not, and this is the one about which I am writing) is way too short. Yes, the longer the higher the resistance, etc., but c'mon. I require more than a meter/m.5 to do my DAW work properly, especially when I use them while playing guitars - why wouldn't I use them with that? These probably have the very best fidelity I've heard, and I say probably because maybe I have listened to more responsive headphones though I don't remember makes/models if that is so. Final verdict. Get these.

I'll start by saying I am not an audiophile. I bought these headphones based on the great reviews, of which this is another one. All of the good things the reviewers said are true. The sound is incredible. I hear things in songs that I never heard / noticed before as if I am truly hearing it for the first time. I find myself wanting to get to the next song to experience what new things I will hear. I notice the mix of the song and the placement of the instruments in the soundscape. It is quite amazing. The over ear headphones fit my ears perfectly and are very comfortable wearing for long periods of time. I love the detachable cord so it can be easily replaced if damaged. The headphones are solid and well built and feel like they will last. These headphones are well worth the cost and I will be using them exclusively for serious music listening from now on.

Ordered these headphones and they came the very next day. Packaging was tasteful and didn't leave me with a lot of waste, which I appreciate. Black box can be repurposed, a small thing perhaps, but an important one for me. Headphones look amazing and the sound is superb. They're very comfortable. I've been wearing them while I work and their fit and sound really has helped me concentrate. Totally recommend them if you are looking to buy a high quality product.
