If you are looking for a pair of high-quality headphones that are versatile and sound great… get  a set of these cans sucka! Seriously though, you should get these if you care about your music. Whether you are making beats in your bedroom or DJ’ing a party in a basement, riding mixer faders or riding public transit on your way to work/school, you owe it to your ears to get these ‘phones.

Let’s start with the basics.

  • closed-back/sealed design = they keep your music in and the rest of the world out (to a degree)
  • circum-aural = they go around your ears, which I prefer over supra-aural (sitting on top of your ears)
  • 45mm driver = bigger speaker, bigger sound… duh!
  • 15-28000 hz = Barry White lows all the way up to Mariah Carey highs
  • 1/8″ connector with 1/4″ screw-on adaptor = you can hook up to most players/systems
