Fantastic monitering headphones
|Posted .If you are looking for good studio headphones these are your best option for the $$, diminishing return the higher you go in $$ from here. These are NOT for casual listeners however, they're designed to give a relatively flat frequency response. These are for producers, mixengineers, and others looking to monitor sound for accuracy. If you're into mixing and mastering try these in combination with Sonarworks software, you'll get the flatest sound possible. Even more I like to also use Waves NX software which gives them a simulated room sound. Try all three together and you'll be shocked at how much better your mixes start turning out!

Good value for money!
|Posted .I would recommend this to a friendI did a lot of research before buying this set. Initially, I was set on buying a Bose set, but with a little bit of digging around on Internet (Amazon, YouTube, Best Buy, B&h photo video etc), this set emerged as a clear winner for good value overall. Couldn't be happier with the purchase. It is a very well built set and sounds even better. It's so good that you will hear stuff that you would normally miss on an average headphone. Bass is lacking but I don't care as I want to listen music as the composer intended it to be, not what a headphone company thinks is better (beats etc)

Quality4 out of 5Value4 out of 5Ease of Use5 out of 5These sound amazing. They're a little flimsy but they're durable. All of the joints move around freely but too easily. Hard to explain. They feel like they're easy to break and also well made.

What experts are saying
Q: QuestionHow well does it cancel out surrounding noise, and how is the bass quality?
Asked by Bonkess.
- A:Answer Bass quality is great, but subjective from what you are coming from or have experience with. For instance, if you are used to Beats, or DJ headphones, these might seem to have more subtle bass, but only because they are more accurate to the original music file/production. Just like a home HIFI system, other brands engineer their headphones to emphasize the highs and lows. These might have a slight "smile" eq curve to them, but it's ever so subtle. Hope this helps.

Q: QuestionAre these comfortable for long gaming sessions?
Asked by Reggie.
- A:Answer Thank you for your inquiry. I find them very comfortable in long studio sessions. Please note that these do not have a built in microphone that you may want for gaming.

Asked by Flint.
- A:Answer Twist and lock. Twist right.

Q: QuestionWhat is the difference between this and its limited version?
Asked by Reihan.
- A:Answer The limited is matte grey, that's all.
Answered by nolovedeep
Q: QuestionIs there a reason why the white version is more expensive than the black version?
Asked by Ksm.
- A:Answer No, they should be exactly the same. The only reason I can come up with (for the price being higher) is that the white ones may be "limited edition". Like most limited edition products you are paying for the aesthetic rather than the product itself. if this isn't the case then Best Buy needs to fix that because that is absurd. If you don't care for colour then I would just go with the black, they are an excellent pair of headphones.

Q: QuestionDo these really weigh 2lbs?
Asked by Marie.
- A:Answer The actual weight of these headphones is 6.7 ounces. 2.25 pounds is the shipping weight.

Q: QuestionBecause these are professional Studio headphones I would be using them on my smartphone would you be able to make phone calls or receive phone calls while using the headphones
Asked by Blaine.
- A:Answer No, these headphones do not have a mic to speak into. Besides, a little too pricey to get just to receive and make phone calls if you ask me as the quality output on your phone won't make use of the studio grade quality...in other words: it won't sound much better than any other pair of decent ($60<) headphones unless you utilize the 1/4 inch plug. The Hesh 3s might suit you better unless you plan to work in a studio setting.
