They are okay

It is a reasonably priced headphone with good isolation. The trade-off is that the sound could be more accurate and the headphone is not the most comfortable because pressing force needed for the isolation is rather big. It is good for recording purposes.

They are indeed headphones

Good monitoring headphones, they provide nice isolation and relatively good frequency response. The 100-200hz region is a bit dry, so it can cause you to mix in extra mud, and the MDR-7506s have better highs, but overall these headphones are not bad, all my mixdowns go through them before release.

Great for music production

These are perfect for production because of the very flat EQ it has. The tight low end is very helpful for making important mixing decisions, and the stereo image these headphones create make them perfect for mixing as well. only compaint would be that these headphones aren't the most comfortable for long periods of time

Extremely balanced sound. Beautiful dynamic nuance between the low and mid range and the highs simmer right on top. Great for mastering, mixing, and producing!

Good studio Headphones

These are really good and true sounding studio headphones, however. They do not reproduce the bottom end very well. There are also other headphones, which work better in loud environments. So I would not recommend to use them as DJ headphones. They are not designed for that. But they are really good headphones when using them at home or in the studio.

These headphones are a little too tight. It is difficult to keep it around the neck for a long time

"Favorite headphones for tracking with excellent isolation"

"These are the industry standard headphones for good reason. Music and sound will translate very well to these headphones. They have a very flat frequency response and an accurate stereo image that is no exaggerated"

It's pretty good!

I think these are amazing headphones for MAKING music, just not listening to. There are much better headphones out there for that! But these are just nice and bland, so it lets you hear what your music sounds like without any special EQ's or anything applied to it! Now, my problem is the noise. You can hear the headphones a ton from the OUTSIDE! Mic's will pick up what's playing, which is bad. But for the music I make, that doesn't matter! (Yet...)

Dat freq thoe...

In general: very very flat and critical. Its slightly boosted mid frequency response makes it incredibly more flat and critical standard than anything that I have seen (or heard) before. Perfect to have an accurate sense of what is going on in the EQ.

Excellent notion and clarity of basses (all of them). A little exceeded on the high-end for my personal taste; it has taken me time to get used to the big amount of highs.

Best choice for a hundred bucks budget. Definitely recommended.

Great choice.

My first professional headphones exclusively for composing tunes. I am pleased by the honesty of the sound they convey, there is no bass boosting or anything(which I commonly associate with headphones/earbuds from companies such as Beats/Skullcandy/etc.). I don't think they are the TOP TOP of the line headset, but I think they are quite professional. Very cool, very honest.
