Great in own right but need tweaking
This headphones are comfortable, and very closed which makes them perfect for tracking! The leakage is minimal because of the tight close they offer. Minus side is I don't know if your making like club beats and have KRK's and use generally bass leaned speakers - then it'd be perfect, but for me it is too bassie. So if you are going for a flash eq curve, then reducing some bass while mixing with these would be mandatory.

A great pair of headphones made for gaming but also good for mastering tracks.
The headphones I use to play games of CS GO and Starcraft 2. I also use these to master my tracks.
