The reviewer finds the Beyerdynamic DT 1350 CC to be a great-sounding pair of on-ear headphones with neutral, clear mids, smooth highs, and deep bass extension, though they note the need for a burn-in period and some amping to reach full potential.

3:30Headphones compared - Amperior, DT1350, HD25
The reviewer compares three portable headphones and ultimately prefers the Sennheiser Amperior for its comfort, velour pads, and iPhone cable, despite acknowledging the DT1350's superior midrange and sound quality. The DT1350 is a strong second choice, but its pleather pads heat up and are less comfortable for extended use, making it less ideal for portable listening.
