105 AER

I've been using these for jazz and acoustic stuff mostly, and the soundstage genuinely surprised me for the price. The earcups stay comfortable through a three-hour listening session, which I didn't expect from an open-back.

The open-back design lets everything breathe, so jazz and acoustic tracks don't feel cramped at all. I've worn them for hours without any pressure on my ears, which I didn't expect from a headphone this substantial.

The open-back design lets everything breathe, which I appreciate on longer listening sessions. Vocals sit nicely forward without the treble getting harsh. Only gripe is the clamp feels tight for the first week or so, though it loosened up.
