On this reviewer’s smaller head, the horizontal clamping feels resolute but just shy of constrictive. This might be an area of concern if your head’s on the larger size. Weighing in at 0.7 pounds (317g), they’re middleweight cans that distribute their weight pretty evenly, thanks to a stern clamping force provided by the aluminum headband. It’s thick enough that your ear never makes contact with the flat, hard surface of the driver itself, which is something we’ve had minor issues with in the past with the cheaper HS-series models. The memory foam encased within the protein leather outer layer does feel softer and more voluminous than in the HS60. There’s more yellow stitching, again immaculate, around the earcups. The bright yellow adds a touch of aesthetic interest without stepping over into Toy Town. The headset comes in 'carbon,' which is black with white accents in the headband, or yellow, like our review unit. The stitched grid design along the inner headband is finished to a really high level. The build quality and material choices in this headset are absolutely exemplary.
