I was looking for a budget headphone which can deliver high quality sound. My audiophile friend who use to buy expensive headphones, suggested me this. After reading a lot of reviews, I finally purchased this.I liked :1. Good quality build2. Very good soundstage. You can even count the various instruments being played in the song. Clear and distinctive sound for each instrument3. Lows are picked well. I played HD quality WAV files and noticed some sounds for the first time. If you are fond of old Bollywood songs( R D Burman, Kishore Kumar and 80's era), You are going to like it. Rest of the songs are also played well.4. Mids and Highs are also played well.5. It's a neutral headphone. So it produces pure sound (No Bass). I liked it.6. Accessories - It's a complete set so no extra expenses. I am using it with my laptop and have not bought any DAC or AMP.Improvements required :1. It is bit tight on head but will not be uncomfortable. A little loose would have been an advantage.2. After using for 1 hour, I felt some heating around the ear. Again it will not be uncomfortable.My recommendation is to go for it if you are looking for budget Audiophile headphone. You will not be disappointed.I would also suggest to play HD songs (FLAC or WAV files) and not MP3. The experience will be out of world.

Well what i can...it is simply perfect. This cans are as flat and neutral as one can be as this price bracket. I am a self proclaimed audiophile and currently owe the M50x, M40x, MSR-7 and HD598 amost other in ear headphones as well. I have tested it on FiioX3 Third gen , Xduoo X10 & Aune M1s and this sounds phenomenal. Even if it is used on smartphones it does a great job (LG V20). I have used mp3s, aacs, flac (16 & 24 bit) , alac and dsd files......and it sounds great on all. Go for it guys.

pros: sound quality, comfort, price, removable cables, neutral sound, sound stage, build quality, accessoriescons: clamp forcepackaging:the hm5 came in a thin cardboard case with a hard-shell carry case inside. included were the headphones, 2 Y cables (1.2m and 3m), extra pair of ear pads and a 1/4" adapterdesign, comfort and build quality:the headphones is well designed. It has a lightly padded headband with "BRAINWAWZ" etched into the leather. the connecters are made of aluminium and give a satisfying click noise after each adjustment. the headphones has really good pads and fit comfortably around the ears without it touching the ears in any direction. the clamp force is a little high though but not uncomfortable mostly due to the great pads. the outside has a matte black and brushed aluminium finish and looks really good(much better than it does in pictures). the cables attach with a satisfying click noise. the build quality is really good for the pricesound quality:this is where this excels. the sound is truly neutral and anything you throw at it sounds good from classical to jazz to rock everything sounds really good. it also has a great sound stage for a closed headphones.conclusion:I bought this after a lot of research and am glad I did. it is money well spent. its the best headphones you can get for this price.
