3.5 stars
Pros: Excellent isolation
Cons: Lack of sound definition and light on bass
Summary: The best thing about these phones is the isolation (I believe they say 32 db). This is both coming and going - it keeps the headphone sound in and the outside sound out. This is great, for example, in our small studio when recording exposed vocals... read more >>

"Linear range, lightweight, screw-on adapter"
Pros: Comfortable ear cups, great isolation, proper cord length for office, excellent all-around sound for all types of music

"Love the sound...BUT serious issues with the headband"
Pros: Great sound, good ambient noise attenuation
Cons: Serious durability issue with headband, bulky so can get uncomfortable if worn for long periods, not well suited to portable devices, look a bit dorky
Summary: I'm not a serious audiophile, so I bought these thinking that if they were good enough for an application like DJing they'd be good enough for me. Plus I liked the design, especially the way they collapsed. And I've been happy with the sound they pu... read more >>
