Marley Liberate XL Around-Ear Stereo Headphone review

[dalethorn]

I got this House of Marley Liberate XL headphone from Amazon U.S. for less than $150, and while I wasn't expecting a lot for that price, I fell in love with this headphone. The build quality is exceptional, the comfort is great for average or near-average size heads, and the only ding is that the treble is about 12-14 db below my listening standard, or about 20 db below the Beyerdynamic T1's average treble level. Once compensated though, I thought the overall balance and transitions were very smooth and musical - an excellent deal given that, the price, and the amazing build. I looked on Amazon U.K. also, but they only list the Bluetooth version, or the on-ear version, and this is neither. http://www.hifiheadphones.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?t=4151
