The bluetooth(dongle) quality is pretty meh to be honest .......but...... the wired(jack) quality is easily one of the best headphones for listening out there. This coming from an MDR 7550 user. The clarity is amazing, the vocal clarity is excellent, it's decently loud, and has good soundstage. Sound separation is excellent. It's also pretty critical on the sound quality of a song. So if a song is poorly compressed, the headphones will let you know about it. Bass is ok, it's won't hit you with hard thumps, but it can rumble and the thumping is wholesome. So I would re-rate bass as awesome too.
Physically I think the headphone looks cool. I don't really know how it looks on me but it is one clean looking headphone. pretty easy to put on and easily fits over my ear. I think my ears are average size, may be medium to big as I had people tell me I had big ears. But the muffs completely go over my ear. The weight is ok. The grip is pretty grippy. The combination of the weight and grip can fatigue your head and the place around your ears if you use the headphones for over, like, 2 hours. Because of the grip, it is pretty secure, not sure if it would stay if you run or move about too much, plus it's not that light.
When you do the wireless, or the bluetooth dongle, the headphone sounds like the audio does not come out naturally and the audio you hear is badly controlled by the headphone computer. It's as if the headphone has a built in, but poorly executed equalizer. The audio separation getting messed up really hit me hard; when two loud and different kinds of sound like a human voice and the wail of an electric guitar meet, the headphone would muffle both. Or when a bass on a rap/hip-hop music bangs hard, it's a muffle fest. I don't understand why. I wish there was an app for PC, maybe then artificial effects can be turned off. But I think only PS4 has the app. I've only tried the wireless for three hours, haven't charged them. I don't know how long the battery really lasts. The audio is not bad, and I can game well with it. It's when purely listening to music that the wireless mode performs poorly.
I game from time to time and this heaphone has a pretty good soundstage both bluetooth and wired. I haven't been able to try the 3d feature as I don't think I have a game that supports it. But having played only Witcher 3 last night, it was a pretty good experience. I really like the soundstage and the precision of the sounds. I have also listened to the dolby atmos demos in youtube and it was a whole new amazing experience for me. Pretty amazing gaming headphones. You can also pick from the headphones twitch users use, I'm pretty sure you can tell they game...a lot.
If I could exchange this, I might take the ch700n instead. I might consider changing, but I'm pretty okay with the purchase. If you just want (over ear)headphones, I know the ath-(m-series) heaphones, sounds amazing too(I only have the m30x) and way cheaper. The Sony hifi wireless heaphones seem like tempting choices too though. But I can't say as I haven't tried those. If I can afford, I would go Sony, as I have grown on their sound profile(maybe only their neutral/studio-like headphones).
