My studio headphones of choice

I have only had these for a few months, but they have replaced both my Beats and SOLs as my favorite headphones for production and referencing. They have great low end response without being overbearing, and they are super comfortable (coming from someone who gets easily irritated with most over-ear headphones). The reversible cable that has both a 1/4" and 1/8" output is also really handy for anyone who DJ's/Produces.

Basic! Durable but disappointed!

This headphones are trendy, durable and are good at noise cancelling BUT the sound is basic. They would normally cost £80 but i got them on sale for £50. They are lacking in every aspect, you can barely hear the mids, the bass is decent and well the highs completely overwhelm. Definitely not headphones for DJs!

Good pair of headphones

The color options are a big plus, but the sound is great, and the rotating ear cups allow you to wear the headphones in many different styles.

loganbrennick

Most genius idea ever!

So these headphones have the best cord ever. One end is a 1/4 and the other is a 1/8, and there is either input on the two sides of the headphones, so whether you're DJing or just listening to music, you don't have to worry about adapters.

Okay, not worth $100

I bought these headphones for $50 at the time. I wouldn't pay a penny more. They get dirty easy and the pads rip very easily. Sound is just okay. They are a pretty comfortable headphone

4/5!

Really good, basic, clean, headphones that sit tight without hurting after long time.

manicbureau

Amazing. Great form factor and sound.

Ear cups are foldable so portability is definitely a good trait of this pair of headphones. Good noise isolation and comes with both 1/4'' and 1/8'' input options.

Stylish, Quality and Functional

Great looking, great sounding and with some really nifty features like the mini to full size reversible jack lead make these some of the best headphones available, especially for the money!
