My impressions
I first heard about this model from a professional producer a while ago. Although Sennheiser is one of the most renowned headphone manufacturers, competition was high and so was the offer. Since I was a beginner I took the advice. Lots of years have passed since then, and they’re still one of the best DJ/producer headphones you can get. Mine doesn’t have a single scratch, although they had a pretty intense life.
Here are the pros and cons I found after this prolonged use of “stress testing”:
Pros
- Comfortable and lightweight — I’ve been able to use them for hours
- Mostly flat response
- Great sound quality at any volume
- Simple, classic, unmistakable design
- Solid like a tank
- Low impedance — good for almost any MP3 player
Cons
- Price is a little high, no doubt, but they’re worth the premium
