![]() ![]() Of course, while all this is good for effective auditioning of your DJ music while on the move, they’re going to live or die for us depending upon how well they perform in a DJ scenario. The styling is deliberately quirky, as there are a lot of different finishes in the full range. Clicking its small silver button once manually play/pauses the music, clicking it twice jumps forward a track, and three times jumps back a track. The cable only attaches to one earcup (pretty standard nowadays), which means they’re more convenient than bi-wired models once you’re wearing them. With the “street” cable, the microphone is positioned close to your face so you don’t have to hold it when using your phone (it works with iPhone and Blackberry), although if you want to you can clip the microphone to your lapel or similar. The microphone has auto music cut when a call comes in. They isolate well, although even when at their loosest they were a little tight on my head. The earcups pivot 180 degrees vertically or backwards 90 degrees, which means they’ll suit most DJs’ one-on-one-off techniques. A nice touch is that you can twist the middle of the headband to loosen or tighten the overall fit, so if you want them tighter for DJing (less sound leakage) you can achieve this, loosening them up again for day-to-day longer term use. The leather padding is extremely soft leather covering foam, making them comfortable. Although the two-pronged earcup holders are plastic, they’re fixed firmly to the earcups. Nice touch.Īway from the styling, the headphones are of a design not so far apart from the Allen & Heath Xone XD2-53s or the Sony MDR-700s, at least as far as the size of the earcups goes (they contain a decent 57mm driver) and the way the earcups pivot on the headband. They appear to be strudy, with metal adjusters for headband size and what apear to be metal pinned pivots. This means that if the street cable (which of course being straight has no give in it) is accidentally yanked, instead of possibly damaging the join to the headphones, it will just detach at the joint. The phones come in a distinctive bag with two cables and an adaptor, for DJ and street use. This can either screw in to the coiled DJ-style cable (so it can’t be pulled out), or plug in to the microphone on the end of the straight “street” cable. The headphones are unusual in that they have a short, straight length of cable coming from them that ends in an 1/8″ stereo TRS plug. Just like the headphones themselves, the carry bag is distinctive in this case it’s blue with the white ringed arrow motif of the company. In the colour-matched presentation box alongside the headphones are a DJ-style coiled cable, a street-style straight cable with built-in microphone, and a drawstring carry bag.
