Sono già possessore della h9 ho voluto prendere anche questa perché pensavo fosse decisamente meglio della h9,non è così,come suono almeno no,come riduzione del rumore il salto è parecchio ma solo per chi le usa fuori casa,chi ascolta solo musica come me non c'è alcuna differenza,tutte e due cuffie eccezionali,sotto i 300 euro sono ottime, ovviamente le hx sono più recenti e con più possibilità di utilizzo.

Pros

  • Costruzione, collegamenti,qualità del suono, comodità

Cons

  • Proprio nessuno,se non il prezzo
