I remember when they first became popular. In those days there wasn’t really DJ headphones available. They were originally designed for the broadcast industry and for drummers. Kind found by accident by DJs. They were light weight to wear, tough and parts were easily replaceable. Good sound isolatio

When you’ve mixed more beats than a blender and still hold on by a wire…

Pioneer headphones exteriors all fall apart including my recent X10’s like most DJ designed headphones. I have gone back to Sony professional which I used in the late 90s. New MDR-M1 especially designed for mixing so they have great sound and frequency separation. Probably the most light weight and

Hello, I’m Sumedh K. AMA!

Thank you! I purchased Sony MDR M1 headphones sometime in October and I really love them. Something I can carry from the studio to travel and rely on the sound signature while producing on the go. Very comfortable as well!

Eprom Syntheism 🎼

Yeah. I hate the fact that they hurt your record over time. Anyways, the press sounds so damn good. I usually listen on my Sony MDR-M1’s since my speakers are garbage and the bass is extremely clean. I know eprom is a master at bass but I was not expecting the quality to be that good. Also, big ups

What are the best over-ear headphones you’ve used for everyday listening?

I have the Sony MDR M1, with better quality earpads and a Hart Audio 4.4mm cable. their full range sound quality is very good, not the "BEST" but I love them.

Headphones recommendations to produce IDM pls

Sony MDR-M1 sound good while still being somewhat light and comfortable. I alternate between those and Beyerdynamic DT770 Pro, which sound great and very isolating. But I find the DT770 a little uncomfortable on sessions longer than 2 hrs.

¿Gente ustedes que headset manejan ?

Cualquier headset Bluetooth va a tener un micrófono deficiente en llamadas, porque usan un códec específico para lograr baja latencia y permitir input y output de audio en simultáneo. Si quiere la mejor calidad de audio posible, las soluciones cableadas están a años luz que el bluetooth, y como plus
