This review has been selected by our experts as particularly helpful.
Absolutely great for sound quality for live or studio monitoring or recording! For the price, you can't beat it. If you need something very durable, or something for very intense high-range monitoring this isn't it. But if you're just starting out or on a budget for accurate good sounding studio or monitoring headphones, these are it.
Sound
These headphones sound very good when used for monitoring or studio applications. They will crackle slightly in the high range when used at loud volumes, other than that they produce a very detailed and accurate sound all in all. Very good low and mid ranges. They are not good for listening to most portable cd/mp3 players, computer audio or most any application where it is required to use the 1/8" phono plug as opposed to the 1/4". The reason for this is that they have a higher impedance than most headphones (such as sony mdr-v6) used for those applications that don't put out much power. Resulting in low volume and harsh sound when eq is applied. But, they were designed for studio reference not for general purpose. Sound great through any good headphone amp that produces enough juice.
Quality
Good quality. Plastic support could be improved. May be easy to break with rough handling, but fairly sturdy. Very comfortable to wear for any duration of time.
Value
Very good value for the price! Can not get this sound quality for similar price.
