22:26GoldPlanar GL600 _(Z Reviews)_ Worth the Look
The reviewer finds the GoldPlanar GL600 to be a surprisingly good planar headphone at $180, especially compared to the similar-looking Monoprice M565 which he disliked. He praises its tuning, comfort, and build quality, and gives it a full recommendation, noting it offers a more intense sound than the HiFiMan HE4XX.

8:44Gold Planar GL600 Review: BEST build quality!
The reviewer finds the GoldPlanar GL600's build quality exceptional for the price, but notes the sound is warm and dark with average resolution, making it better suited for casual listeners than seasoned audiophiles. It's a comfortable, durable option for those wanting to try planar magnetics affordably.
