BRAINWAVZ HM5

Good for neutral listening. The BRAINWAVZ HM5 are comfortable headphones you can wear for long listening sessions with a balanced sound profile that caters well to all genres. They have a good amount of bass that doesn't overpower instruments and vocals in the mid-range, and their treble doesn't sound overly sharp. Unfortunately, despite their large ear cups, they're closed-back headphones that can't create a soundstage as spacious as the open-back neutral listening models.

The Brainwavz HM5 are solid flat response-style over-ear studio monitor headphones with a focus on clarity in the highs.
