Good at what they do
nikvel 20.11.2020
I must say right away that my opinion is largely the opinion of an amateur, albeit with some experience with sound, because my usual control is based on a monitor speaker system, and not on headphones, although during recording I have been using old ones closed akg 271 studio for about 10 years. .
Therefore, I can only compare with them, and with my wishes, of course.

bass and sub-bass
First, in connection with the transition to home mode of operation due to covid-19, I was looking for several devices for monitoring various purposes - from recording to mixing. And HD9 pleased me in this sense. What I could not catch in my old AKGs, I found in this Presonus. This is primarily the detail of the bass and sub-bass. These headphones really made it easier to work out this part of the spectrum in limited conditions, although it is heard very redundant.

fit and comfort
In general, I cannot complain about their fit, but their ear pads are oval, somewhat elongated, and I am used to putting the bow of my akg on my neck - this saves movement and round shells allow you to do this. But with Presonus this will not work. Well, the cable is not detachable, although I don't need it now.
Another drawback (again - subjectively and in comparison) - the ears warm up pretty quickly. They don't sweat, but they are hot. When you have to work outside in the cold, the leatherette finish quickly sets in.
I think there should be no complaints about the nimbleness of the design - after all, any functionality has its drawbacks. You get used to it, and after two weeks of use, the monolithic rigidity of the same akg begins to annoy me.

not ideal, but wonder for a work in price
Summing up, I can say that I am satisfied with the purchase of these headphones. Yes, they really lack a section from 500 to 700 or even 800 hertz, and the upper middle is a little decibel by 3 or 4, but dynamic intelligibility will allow you to adjust the equalization to your preferences with almost no loss in the clarity of attacks. Well, in fairness, I must say that any monitor headphones are a tool for solving a narrow range of problems, and physics itself will not allow us to choose one model for all occasions. So for their area, these headphones are very good, especially for such a price.

good quality for the price
sagius91 29.12.2021
For the price these headphones have good isolation, clarity and comfortable.
These are not ideal for djing.

The only downside is that the cable is too long.

Good budget option
MaxDaniels 02.02.2022
Very good headphones for recording, vocalists love them. Good for tracking other instruments too. Not enough isolation for drummers.
Not very good for mixing. Vague bass, highs sound very uneven, transients are not very clear which makes judging compression very difficult.

Can I rate 6 stars?
AlphaMike 13.08.2022
These beautiful headphones were the biggest surprise in the whole delivery.
I tested them right after unboxing with Hans Zimmer's Dune.
What a sound!!! So clear! I so recommend them! And they are bigger than what they look like in the picture.

Very good sound for the cost
JordiFG 04.05.2020
Those headphones are not the most comfortable on the market but they do the job very decently! Good for mixing or for just not bothering the neighbors, the sound is very clear and not colored at all. I can recommend them for somebody who looks for a good quality/price headphones and that does not want to spend a kidney in high end equipment.

GOOD! BUT 1 MISTAKE!
DURAN0614 24.06.2020
This product is perfect.
It is one of the best headphone sounds available at this price range.
A neat sound brings happiness to the listener.
Comfortable wear also enables a long time to wear.
You may no longer need the expensive headphones you used in the past.
But one thing that's unfortunate is that headphone lines are all-in-in-one.
This is unfortunate in that in the event of a future breakdown, the AS should be left to the customer, rather than the extra line.

Good sound quality for the money, not perfect in terms of bleeding to mics during recording , but if u control the sound being playedback it works well.

Great
Musicz 04.01.2021
I have been using the headphones for a week and I am extremely satisfied. The build is sturdy and the sound is great, exactly as described. They are also comfortable, I have only felt slight discomfort after using them for hours without a break, which may not even occur any more after using them for a while.
