PROS: Solid bass, well-defined midrange, and decent treble (see CONS).
Good, squishy padding on the headband and on the earpieces (these are supra-aural, by the way…they don’t make that quite clear in the product description).
Decent attenuation of external ambient sound, considering these are supra-aural.
Though its frame is entirely plastic, these cans seems sturdy enough to last awhile, provided you take good care of them.
24K Gold-plated connectors (3.5mm with 1/4 in adapter).
Foldable design is very convenient for storage & transport.
CONS: Treble is not the clearest I’ve heard, especially at higher volumes, but certainly not terrible. I would say about 3.5/5.
These cans do leak quite a bit of sound.
Because they are supra-aural (they don’t surround your ears), there sound attenuation could be better.
Though they do seem fairly sturdy, I’m not sure how well they would stand up to night-in night-out DJ use. If your a serious DJ (I’m not, BTW), you’d probably do better spending a little more on a sturdier pair to serve as your main pair. These would probably function well as a practice pair.
Cable is not detachable (though at this price, I wouldn’t expect it to be).
Overall, considering their price, I would call these very good headphones. They drive equally well on portable devices as well as larger equipment. You do get what you pay for. These cans are by no means the best you will find. Pay a little bit more and you will get much better headphones. But for the asking price, you’d be hard pressed to find much better than these. Also, in case you didn’t know, Technics is part of Panasonic (whose products I have always liked), so these are not a cheap off-brand that produces crap. These are very good solid DJ-style headphones for the price.
