i used my Christmas money i got to put toward these headphones and the cd player i'm gonna get. (Syitren R300) Apparently Sweetwater has Meze headphones so my mom bought them on there since we love Sweetwater, and i paid her back in the cash i got from the checks i got for Christmas. i've been REALLY researching the right headphones within my budget, and these were it! also because they are MEZE 'PHONES! one of my favorite YouTubers love Meze, (DankPods) and i just wanted headphones within my budget thats not made in a factory and costs like nothing to make, i wanted headphones that are MADE, like by real people, like Meze in Romania, designed, crafted, AND assembled in Romania, not like China or something. so here you go, just $200 headphones but are made and cared by PEOPLE in ROMANIA! also i love the idea of getting a hard case in the box for traveling like in a car OR a plane! even a train if you wanted! (and extra cables come in the box too) i CANT WAIT to get these beautiful headphones!!! i'll do like a review or something like that (also the SOUND ITSELF, it's basically what i'm looking for! just a bit more bass, but it'll be fun cos bass is fun! i'm not gonna use it for mixing in the future or something like that, Meze makes their headphones for enjoying music) update: i like Romania now so i'm trying a bit of Romanian on Duolingo
