Personal use headphones
Cable is too short for DJing. They're modular headphones which feature inter-changeable parts which is great for appearance and cheaper if any specific part of them breaks. Bass heavy frequency response and no noise. Compared to others in it's price range, I always favour the sound profile on these for electronic music. After 2 hours they become uncomfortably tight and make my ears itch warm, then won't always sit on the ears well (even adjusted). It always sounds like they need to 'warm up' or 'wear-in' first before they sound good which is unusual so I let a song play out of them loudly for 5 mins before using but for the price they are a must have! Voted best DJing headphones in 2015, I think.

Excellent quality sound engines,but
I purchased these because of the Steve Aoki branding and they are without a doubt an amazing on the ear headphones. The only issue I had was the unbreakable band is pretty tight on the average head. Which eventually ended up with my ears hurting after too long. Outstanding product, but not for long wear in my opinion.
Great headphones for when you're on the go
These headphones are great for when you're on the go. I picked mine up for $150 and I think they were worth it. I probably wouldn't pick these for use in the studio but for they are great for when you're out and about. Overall it is a amazing headphones.
