   When I first saw these headphones, I went `Yow!’ My cohost and other DJ’s at the studio had a similar reaction. I believe the quoted statement was `you look like a DJ escapee from a Mumbai discotheque’ You can catch the complete show – and our live reactions – by listening to episode 143 at techtalk.wrlr.fm

   Let there be no mistake however, these are some serious `phones. I plugged them first into my laptop to start reviewing and listening to music prep for the show and pulled up some Talking Heads `Naïve Melody’ … and was immediately impressed. The bass response was deep and full, the highs registered well with only minimal loss at upper registers, and the overall comfort and fit were excellent. It really made listening to some of these `classic’ tunes like hearing them for the first time again.

   I used a 1/8″ to ¼” adapter to allow me to plug into our professional Tascam equipment for the show. Again, I was suitably impressed with the response and comfort during our hour long show. The `phones come with an extra long cord, perfect for moving around the board, giving enough extra reach that you can easily arrange mic’s for guests, spin in your chair or whatever needs you might have.

   I have to admit the aesthetics of the headphones are not my cup of tea (black, oolong or chai). The chrome in particular I feel lends the set a somewhat cheap, fragile look. This fragility is belied by the feel however; the ear pieces have good flexibility, and you can fold the whole thing up for carrying quite nicely. The mesh interior to the headphones themselves is also a nice touch, and the fabric feels sturdy and tear resistant.

   It’s yet to be seen if these last long-term, but I am optimistic and have no reason to believe otherwise.

   The TechTalk bottom line on these is that, while if you’re looking for a professional set of headphones these may not fit your need like some high-end Koss or Bose, they also don’t carry anywhere near the pocket ripping cost that those do. For home, home studio, or light professional usage, at the price point these come in at they really can’t be beat. So long as you’re willing to look like – or perhaps are – a slumdog millionaire disco DJ, we’re confident you’ll be very happy with these `phones!

   Overall Rating – 4 out of 5 Chips.

   These were given to me brand new by a friend.

   These worked fine with decent sound (good mids, decent bass).
   
   After 4 months the sound cut off in one ear and the leather started to peel off.

   These are cheaply made and are just for show. use your money to buy something with a higher audio rating.
   
   Nobody is going to think you’re a cool DJ with these on.

   it sure does look different from the picture. the color red and blue bring out real crazy style. and they also have lion logo on each side. which look awsome. this speaker sounds really great. maybe from noise cancelling. it’s over-ear type earphone. hey overall it’s really good to pimp out your style. just 1 slight problem is that my head isn’t tiny but it kinda slip off when i move around. still it’s really awsome. glad i bought it. i would recommend to all of you who is looking at this. you won’t regret it.

   I have had these headphones for about a month, and I have definitely been satisfied with them. The sound really resonates, and you don’t even realize how loud the music is, which I guess could be considered a bad thing. Being a student, I love the appearance, the bass and price, but these can be impractical at times. They’re definitely not very portable, and can be bulky/funny looking in crowds. Another quirk of mine is their terrible sound leakage, which basically limits them to my house.Given that though, I love them. They bend in a lot of ways though, and are more comfortable than many over-the-ear headphones. Overall a good buy.
