Do not hesitate to purchase these phones; they can be a bit intense in the trebles but they are not yet broken in. I am using a Dac/amp to drive them, (something I got on Drop.com writing me for more details). The build quality is excellent making my other plastic ones (the brands starts with an S), seems like toys. More to follow…

First off these are the most comfortable headphones I’ve ever worn. When I was first shopping I thought maybe the ear cup holes were a little small too. Not the case and I have rather large ears. The AR5000 has excellent detail for its price and compare to more expensive headphones as well. The DT1990 Pro for one. They have amazing imaging!! Some of the best I’ve experienced at any price and it particularly shines in gaming. Hunt Showdown, Battlefield and even Warzone. I know precisely where my opponents are and how far away. The soundstaging is equally impressive adding depth to tracks I’ve never noticed before. I enjoy these even more balanced (I run them off a FiiO K11 R2R for games and music). It adds depth with the added power of my balanced output. One surprise I got when using these is the bass. It doesn’t hit super hard or deep but it’s more than enough to be immersive without washing out details. I can’t recommend these enough.

Equipped with only a recommendation I purchase this headphone over the Equipped with only a recommendation I purchase this headphone over the HD 490 Pro plus for COD competitiveness. Not only for its appearance, durability and quality but for performance. However this did not translate to gaming. Until I tried it for myself. After using these headphones for a few days I noticed a dramatic improvement in sound quality in cod: mw3. Not only was I able to hear the direction of opponent's footsteps I was able to hear them reloading and firing when hidden in a corner. Opponent audio cues are slightly different from your teammates. Something I didnt know until I used the AR5000! I did not hear this difference in other iems like the Tea 2, Orchestra Lite, Hype 4 and other headphones like the Sennheiser 598se, 560, etc. Be mindful that the orchestra lite is one of the most recommended iems for gaming. VERTICALITY: Although not as prevalent in 6v6 Versus Warzone I was able to know when enemies were in a room through an open window. SEPARATION: One of the best I've heard so far. In 6 V6 you can hear gunshots of multiple people, streaks going off, people talking in chat. I can still tell the direction of opponent's audio cue in a 6v6 maps. Something that I could not do with other iems and headphones that I've tried. RESOLUTION: Clarity is exceptional for the ar5000. Even when there's other audio clutter (ambient noise, etc). What I want to hear I can hear it. Like opponent audio cues. From my experience the orchestra lite's are the most muddy when it comes to resolution in cod. IMAGING: Simply the best. No if ands or buts. I've tried other iems and headphones that I didn't own and do own. The ar5000 differentiate opponent gunshots, reloading, foosteps, etc. Everything else I've tried so far only seems to do well with just footstep audio. For example I can hear two gunshots. With the ar5000 I know one is my opponent to the left and my team rate to the right. I instinctually know to go to the left to take out the opponent. SOUND STAGE: Is one of the best that I've heard so far. And compared to the tea 2, Orchestra lite, hype 4, 598 se, 560, etc they are the most accurate. Some of the others are either accurate but muddy. Although it's pinpoint the resolution is bad. Or too forward. Which means that it makes the opponent audio sound closer then they actually are. I did not realize how bad a forward sound stage versus having a soundstage that is too wide. Too wide means that opponent audio is simply further away than they actually are. But in this case being too forward means that they have yet to come. It makes opponent audio sound like they're right around the corner. But when you get the jump on them they're visually 5-10 steps further away from the door, corner, window, steps, etc then you initially heard through positional audio. This makes the ar5000 very accurate, sharp and clear for positional audio cues. CAVEATS: I do this with all other headphones and iem's I've tried. I use GT's audio profile EQ and AiW Warzone Audio Setup on PC. Using either Home Theater or Cinematic in COD Audio Section. All using a DAC/AMP combo. The Headphone, HP Boost, PC Speaker Options in COD doesn't have enough separation between the gun shoots and foosteps versus all other audio cues in the match. HIGHLY IMPORTANT WAY TO WEAR THE AR5000: There is a particular way that you have to put these headphones on. Once the ear cups are over your ears slide the ear cups forward until it stops or you meet resistance. Which is towards your nose or mouth area. Due to the angle of the drivers this provides optimum soundstage. FINAL CONCLUSION: Overall the AR5000 is very comfortable. However it's questionable about the ear cup modability. It is the only detractor versus the HD 490 Pro Plus that I found so far. However, I have not found a reason to change the ear cups on this headphone. I have not found a need to adjust it yet. Out the box they fit me just fine. So adjustability is a plus for me. However, It's ability to allow you to hear the audio cues that you need to hear in a competitive first person shooter like COD is phenomenally exceptional. For the price point versus other MORE EXSPENSIVE iems and headphones that can do similarly. I cannot recommend this ar5000 enough.

Eu estou iniciando no mundo dos audiófilos e esse fone me surpreendeu muito! Bem balanceado, entrega muitos detalhes e bem fácil de usar - sem falar no conforto que é nota 10 também. Usei por 1 semana direto no computador, funciona muito bem, porém quando chegou meu amp/dac (estou usando um SMSL AO300) a diferença é IMPRESSIONANTE! Não deixem de usar com um bom equipamento.

Por el precio es excelente. Tiene una firma divertida, ligeramente alzado los graves, una escena sonara bastante decente. En general es un audífono muy completo, sin embargo, leí muchos comentarios que decían maravillas, que superaba a audífonos más caros pero no, es muy bueno y compite en su gama de precios.
