I freaking love mine. It's my daily driver. The build is more robust than you think. And they don't leak sound hardly at all. I like this so much more than the 58x or the 6xx. I run them balanced out of my Jotenheim2 on low power with D30Pro balanced into the Jotenheim2. And they're non-fatiguing.

Honestly I like them much more than Sennheiser 58X. I have both of them. Connected to Topping L50.

This guy is so depressing lmao, not everyone listens to punk and rock. Saying headphones are trash just because they don't fit your music style. Reminds me of people who have said that sennheiser sounds veiled before, yet there are millions of people who love the sound of them... And they don't even have foam in the ear cups so that's irrelevant 😂

I bought these several months ago, and I have been using them at work. Because the headphones I had were ancient Yamaha YH1 - they were not comfortable anymore, and their sound has either deteriorated or it is not as good a newer headphones. I need open back headphones and lightweight and to be relatively comfortable. They are neutral-ish - they seem to only have sins of omission; rather than sins of commission? I *have* cut out the layer of foam and cloth in the pads - relatively carefully, with good scissors. ;-) They get the job done, but lack anything "special" that draws you into the music. They have enough deep bass, and enough detail, and decent soundstage, as mentioned. I think the yokes are metal? And the internal structure of the headband also seems to be metal? But yes, the rest is plastic.

Who builds loudspeakers wrapped in foam? Maybe JBL L100 and many, many more? There is a thing called acoustically transparent foam, don't know is this has the good kind tho... I love my Philips too, BTW.

Some first morning love Randy! I love the fresh foam i put on my German MBQuart 55x’s. The old foam was flat as a pancake. Sound quality is outstanding and they’re very comfortable as which is awesome as I use them allot as reference headphones. Peace 🇺🇸🤘

1. Maybe the intention of the earpad was for us who live up north, this might be the "Snowblower Edition" 2. I would like to know what your co-host thought of the product (fuzzy). I haven't had a fuzz join a video yet, mine is usually a 10 foot eyebrow that seemingly grew overnight...

I'll pass on these. There are so many options for 'better' sound. Thank you as always for your time and effort to review this headphone.

I mean, it is said that the temperature drops when a ghost is present, so...there ya have it.

Great video. Thank-you! "Without plastic, life itself would be impossible." Hopefully, the foam used inside a headpone ear cup would be " acoustically transparent" (as much as possible). The Sony set I have (noise xcling WH series) have foam to help pad the ear from the driver mechanism. (They are only moderately comfortable with extended wear.) I wish the foam was thicker lol.

I got these for $90, build quality is excellent at its price point. Headband and yokes are all metal in one piece. The plastic is robust and mine don’t rattle at all. The build quality is fine at its price point. The sound quality isn’t the greatest. It’s warm and dark, super mellow. I use sennheiser pads with no sound damping. They are ok, good not great. But for the price, it is a solid buy.

Good morning ☕️ Randy. I compare any headphone in my stable to my OG Sen’s 650’s. HiFiman feels like it’ll break every time I pick them up and my AUDEZE LCDX (2021) tho are heavy ..they feel like they’re built like a tank! Great video as usual.☕️👍👍

They are called "Ghost", maybe they wanted these to sound like it? lol

This is Thieaudio’s patent pending noise canceling edition.

I've cooled towards my Senn HD6xx. I'm not thrilled with how they are made. To me they feet creaky. At some point a piece of plastic fell off the headband and I can't find it to put it back. I'm not rough at all in handling my headphones. The foam used to cover the driver is deteriorating after about 5 years. My two Hifiman headphones fare better. With just having to replace the earpads and removing the peeling pleather from the underside of the headband. The point to all this is tou can but an he400se for less money and it's better built than the Senn or Ghost I imagine.

Chalk up another great vid from "The Cheap Audio Man!" Those look pretty nice but I think I'll just stick with MY all plastic ATH-M50X headphones from Audio-Technica. 🤘🏻

I like the 58x jubilee for around $150.

Randy, I don't like wearing headphones but you could probably talk me into it. LOL

I had to stop the video :40 in. due to uncontrollable laughter. LOL

I have a pair and love them. Build is great considering the headband is all metal instead of the 58x and 6xx that are all plastic.

Theghost headphones are a clear case of "sounds like a good idea in theory", LOL!

Great vid and review as usual Randy, thanks again! Now I have to get thru my day trying not to think about beaver fur earmuffs, nice but distracting, so ya thanks for that too…😂

Not that I need to spend anymore money on my HiFi setup, but I would like to get a decent headphone amp and set of cans.

I've been satisfied with my Sennheiser 599's for years now. Flat tone and open backs.....I got them for $120. I haven't felt the need to upgrade and they have moved several times with me without issue.

I had an Audiooanalog amplifier and connected a headphoneamplifier to the tape-in(or out) ! Now I have a cheap NAD amplifier without tape so how do I connect a very good headphoneamplifier ? Could you show that in a later video ??? Thanks!!!

Oh, but I love the warm fuzziness I get from indistinct listening.😂

I swapped the pads on day one for meze 109 per Z Review advice. With that mod they're pretty good. Not quite so resolving as my HD600 but way better bass.

Grado has been putting pads similar to this on a lot of their headphones for decades. Not that that necessarily makes this an awesome idea--Grado's higher-end options all have a hollow center on the earpad I think. But their signature model that made them famous has some thick foams for sure.

I have a pair of Grado headphones and simply cutting out a quarter sized hole in the foam so that they look like the 225x makes them perform virtually the same. Excessive foam is bad.

BTW that's a great Kershaw knife

You could've worn them both and have the beginning of an awesome Princess Leia halloween costume.

Ima not getting Instagram for anyone. I've tried tons of headphones but always go back to my Senheisiers. I've stopped wasting my money trying to replace them.

Off-topic, The Gerber Mark II was my combat knife. It is evil incarnate, that knife, Unfortunately, sometime in the early eighties, they stopped making them with Solingen steel and imported Chinese steel to make their knives. I've been carrying Kershaw knives exclusively since 1982, and they last forever. They are particular about their sharpening stones, though. Best just buy the thirty dollar kershaw stone and go on with your business. And don't get me started on changing the pads on the Airmotiv GR1s. You damn near need a physics degree.

Can you do a review of the Prime Wireless Pro Powered Speaker by svs

The design and manufacture of iems, which is what they're good at, is vastly different than doing the same with headphones. I'm assuming these are injection molded, which is its own separate animal when you're coming from 3D resin printing.

What up, Cheap! Love the content! See ya tomorrow

Hey hey hey! My 180s (ear coverings) have earbud type pockets built in for those sport type on ear units. At least they have thin cloth between, not foam. (Never used those pockets anyway)

i need help 😭my budget is like 500 and im stressing i keep hearing diff speakers and i cannot decide on the perfect speakers idk which to choose im only experiance with speakers are my audioengine a2+ speakers and i like them but i want some good speakers for my tv for msuic and video please help after looking at what feels like 50 diff speakers and so many varying opinions i cant choose....

Not a fan of headphones in general. Too uncomfortable, gets hot, a pain for eyeglass wearers. That said, my first headphone was the old Sennheiser 414 {?}, with the light simple foam pads. My current is a Sennheiser 477. I think headphones are great for being analytical. Give me two good speakers with dual subs for enjoying the music.

I heard nothing in the first minute and a half, just watching that fuzz on the beard. And waiting.

Randy! WTF! LOL imagine mattress manufacturers or pillow manufacturers made speakers close to one's earhole? Insomnia lawsuit would be possible??

You are wrong the grill is steel and the parts holding the cups is steel too.

I think I'll continue to use my vintage AKG K260. I've never had a thing to complain about them.

Zeus basically thought these were the second coming.

I would love a set of phones with beaver fur muffs.

I have a hollow head and the echo messing with the voices causes head phones to be uncomfortable.

The headphones that got me through high school around the turn of the millennium were $40 Sony cans from Walmart. They were better built than the Theiaudio Ghosts appear to be. Probably sounded better, too. I don't like to knock companies whose products I've never used, but just based on your description here? Yeah, I would avoid them.

The bass is weak on the Ghost. My AKG headphones blow the Ghost away.

Right now $180 difference on Amazon($110 vs $292). Would love to see the HD 6xx below $200…

Lol Roasted by the CAM.

To be exact, these are the specs on the driver: 40mm Sapphire Composite Dynamic Driver. Now mind you its not just a driver, its a "DYNAMIC" driver!

OMG! Fuzz stucks on your beard! How can this happen? How is this even possible? 🤣

I enjoy my Sony CH700N Noise Cancelling Bluetooth head phones.

Love the review. Any sub $100 that are good? From Koss or others?

Fuzz? Looks like a booger.

Princess Leia

Actually speakrr manufacturers did that...some of those grills were msfe out of foam. Muffed the spelling...appropriately I'm going to leave it at that

Let's get that subscriber count up people! Kev needs a turntable.

Thank you Randy

Alright so where is this Google form thing you're talking about?

Ok I found it. You made me dig for it!

Not a headphone video?

Have a coffee on me!

Someone, and I thought it was here but I guess not, reviewed a higher-end headphone from this company that was all metal and built really well but it too had sound issues. Seems weird this brand is getting so much hype when they can't get the basics right.

Ruike p801 is the best value folding knife ever!

But are they better than the Koss KPH40s with Yaxxi pads? I think that would be a CAM-approved approach to “cheap” headphones equating to real value.

"Z" mod. And a better cable

Its pronounced "teel" audio. Like thiel small parameters.

The stupidest an Audio company has ever done was announced today Lenbrook (owner of NAD, Bluesound) bought MQA. Other companies be like now we have to pay our competitor for MQA? Let's not support it anymore.

Thieaudio is Linsoul's baby, they aren't going to like this review LOL hahaha

I'm pro fuzz

Looks like a booger to me🫢😜

OMG!!!! lolololololololololololol.....................

Yep, lost me at Mumford and Sons. If you like cloaked right-wing religious clap-stomp-hey music, there ya go.

Well that’s 13 minutes I can’t get back.

Sounds like junk to me

You just showed a $600 CD player so not sure this is the dumbest thing out there but yeah don't need it.

I thought you meant Harmon Kardon/Harmon International discontinuing Infinity Reference.
