Designed to perfectly pair with Akai's famous music production controllers, the MPC headphones with sound-isolating earpads are a beatmaker's best friend.

Whether you're a working DJ, an electronic music maker, or a studio maven seeking a pair of headphones with a flat, true frequency response, Akai's MPC headphones deliver. The Akai MPC has been an industry-standard tool for beat-making, sampling, and sequencing for decades, and now Akai Professional has taken that same level of innovation to these studio-centric headphones. Whether the classic MPC is at the core of your work or not, the MPC headphones are designed to give an accurate, clean representation of your music in a comfortable and portable package.

Clear Sound and a Full Frequency Range

The most important part of any pair of studio monitor headphones is their sound and frequency response. You don't want too much bass, or hyped highs. Akai MPC headphones are built with large 50 mm drivers with high-quality neodymium magnets -- superior components that deliver a superior sound, reproducing a frequency range of 12 to 24,000 Hz, far wider than the hearing range of the human ear. You can be sure you won't be missing the thump and decay of your bass, the crackle of a snare, or the breath of a voice with the Akai MPC headphones. They're designed so you won't miss a beat, or anything else.

Designed for Comfort and Quality

The Akai MPC headphones are made from gunmetal aluminum and steel instead of plastic, making sure they won't get ripped up and damaged in a backpack or worn out easily. Add to that the leather headband and overstuffed ear-cups that insulate for read more great isolation -- both inside the headphones and outside, reducing bleed to microphones while doing vocal overdubs -- and are exceedingly comfortable over long periods, and you've got a pair of headphones that's built to last. Working in the studio all day can be arduous, and it's harder when your headphones give you a headache. The Akai MPC headphones are designed to be comfortable and to conform to your head, so you won't get ear-strain during a long day's work.

Built for Studio Work and On-the-Go Listening

Included with the Akai MPC headphones are two detachable cables: one is a straight cable that has an in-line microphone attached to it, which can be used with your phone, and a coiled cable that stretches to reduce any wear on your connectors if you happen to tug on it. Also included are both 1/4" and 1/8" jacks, so you'll never have a connection that can't be made with the MPC headphones. The headphones also fold up and include a carrying case, so they're easy to stash and take anywhere that your music leads you.

Akai MPC Headphones

For decades, the Akai Professional MPC has been the industry-standard tool for beat-making, sampling, and sequencing -- the go-to hardware for crafting platinum hits that has literally enabled the creation of genres of music. MPC Headphones embody the same no-shortcuts approach, incorporating premium technologies and precise engineering to give you the power to produce every track with precision.

Featuring iconic Akai Professional build quality and audio detail, MPC Headphones were designed to be a powerful tool for audio production in the recording studio. Custom 50mm drivers with neodymium magnets reproduce your tracks with ease so you can make confident decisions about each element of your music. Hear the simultaneous thump and snap of a kick drum. Hone in on the crackle of the snare. Blend layers of samples while making crucial adjustments to the vocal to make it pop-truly a microscope for your music.

The overstuffed ear pads function as a soundproof booth, blocking out ambient noise so you can focus on your craft. MPC Headphones contain "bleed" from click-tracks or headphone mixes, which will help maintain a purer signal captured by adjacent microphones, such as vocals & acoustic instruments. Zone-in and create in the most comfortable studio working environment...your head.

I got this headphones and U couldn't be happier with the way this things are build the sound out of them is awesome I use them to record and there's no bleeding out of them when I record, I also use them to mix I am aware that this headphones are for beat making so when I mix with them I always double check the bass in my mix to make sure I am not adding to those frequencies, I give this product a 5 out 5 they really did a great job I am very happy with my purchase
