Don't buy this if
- You record or stream with a mic close to your headphones: open-back sound can bleed into sensitive microphones.2
- You listen in noisy places and need isolation: the open design lets outside noise in instead of sealing it out.2
- You want to walk around without being tethered to your device: it is a wired headphone.2

- You want to swap cables or replace a damaged one fast: it uses a fixed cable rather than a detachable one.2
