Best. Headphones. Ever. Period.
When I first put them on, I almost cried. The sound is remarkable. The bass, the surround sound, the outside noise reduction - amazing. Top notch. They are a great fit, really comfortable. The long cable is really well made. BUT. I have used them for over a year now and I admit, I discovered some flaws. For instance - the small cables that go from earmuffs to the headband tend to be really problematic. I have to mess around with them to get any sounds. They aren't visibly broken anywhere, but no sound is quite a problem, when you think about a device for playing sounds. Also, the leather-like material covering the earmuffs is rubbing off over time, but I guess that's common. Though it has some flaws after a year-two, I still recommend them to all my friends and if they completely break, I'm going to buy a second pair. Best purchase of my life. No regrets.

A "big" contrast.
Bought it with my bass in thought. I was looking for some nice overdrive to get those heavy tones. I stumbled upon it while looking at Mike Kerr's Royal Blood pedalboard. After watching some reviews on youtube I gave it a go. I needed control over my distorted tone, so I looked forward to it. Unfortunately, it didn't sound as well as I expected. The overdrive is really subtle with contrasting, ear-destroying distortion. Also, there is no actual way to control the presence of those tones. Either there is 'a tiny bit' of heavy tones (overdrive), or a ton, which is, in my opinion, unbearable (distortion). There's also a huuge loss of tone when you turn it on. I tried many configurations, but I didn't find anything that might appeal to me. Though it's not a great bass od/dist, it worked quite nicely with a friend's fender tele. If you want to use it for an electric guitar, I say go for it. However, if you want it for a bass, I would suggest you think about it a few times. Personally, instead of g4 big muff I'm thinking of replacing it with this year's Way Huge Pork&Pickle.
