Design and features:This home/studio-style on-ear model has an open-air design that doesn't muffle outside sounds, so you'll be able to hear external sounds, such as a doorbell or car horn, when you are wearing the headphones. The headphones have medium-high sensitivity so they can provide satisfying volume levels even when used with lower-powered portable audio devices. This model has earcups that swivel for storage or single ear monitoring, and it comes with a mini-plug-to-1/4-inch-plug adapter.
Sound quality: The Prestige SR60e delivers very good overall sound, with a warm character. Bass has good impact and goes fairly deep, but is slightly pronounced and is slightly boomy. Midrange is very slightly grainy and the bass somewhat crowds the lower midrange. Treble has good detail, but there is a slight treble roll off. The overall sound is somewhat open, with good dynamics. Compared to the Prestige SR60i that it replaces, the SR60e sounds very similar but is a bit cleaner and warmer--it's a very musical, easy-to-listen-to headphone.
Comfort: We found that these headphones produce a sense of moderate pressure on the ears. The earpads might feel hot after prolonged use.
