For a new/intermediate DJ, these are perfect
I write this from the perspective of a DJ, I've been spinning for roughly 3 years and I've been getting more gigs in the city and my brand and skills are starting to get me more gigs. Because of this I needed a modest pair of headphones to cue up songs and stuff. In short these headphones are a win for 20-25 bucks. Are the the most robust build, no. Are they the best looking? No. But they excel at the important aspects of what's counts for a headphones, sound and comfort. My comparison headphones ill be using for this review are Audio-Technica ATH M50x's, I got them as a gift and don't want to beat them up when traveling to gigs... with that said when comparing an 150 dollar pair to a 20 pair I am blown away. Their sound is very accurate, no overpowering bass, the highs are not harsh, the EQ of the headphones do my songs justice when I am balancing them on my mixer. Comfort wise I did a gig with them and I had no issues with comfort, granted they are not on my head from start to finish the entire night, nor do I have a massively big head, for my purposes I personally have no issues with comfort. The ear cups fit just right over my ears. I may get the bigger pads down the road but out of the box they are not bad. Durability wise they are built of mostly plastic, with that said I bought a cheap 8 dollar travel case for them and there is no reason why they shouldn't last a while, for sound engineering purposes I would feel more comfortable using my Audio-Technica ATH M50x's. But for a pair of headphones that if I loose at a gig, or accidentally drop, or damage just from the abuse dj headphones go through, even if they only last me a year or two, for 20 bucks... you can't go wrong... FYI I got complimented on them at a gig yesterday, they definitely look professional... if you want a more hip and fresh color they do make a pair of white ones with red text on the side that do look fresh, but being more conservative, I went with these
