The danners were thinner leather and sides didn’t seem as well made. Works perfectly. I could definitely see these being used in a professional setting. Not the best headphones to wear when it is hot. I loveeeeee them. Id suggest wearing them with socks at first, or for short periods of time. Note you do need an xlr to usb interface but you can get one for like 70 bucks. There is no room as bikes will be racked one by another. They had way too much bass and not enough detail in other areas. However, I discovered on a recent flight that the headband was cracking on BOTH sides of the headphones.
