stompboxjon « Made to mix with »
Published on 02/11/13 at 04:51The Sennheiser HD 380 Pro headphones are a set of headphones that can be collapsed for storage and transportation. The cord is able to come off and they come with a carrying case. The frequency response on these has been extended from previous models to really allow that bass to come through the way it is intended. I absolutely loved mixing with these because every time I mixed with them I would get a great sounding baseline.
They were very comfortable on my head, I have worn them for over 2 hours in one session before without even having to take them off or adjust them. The head band is adjustable and it was very comfortable. I was using these headphones for about 2 years and I actually still own them I just don’t use them as much as I use to. I recommend getting these though because they are an older model and can be purchase at a dirt cheap price right now online. But just because they are an older model does not mean they are not great! When they first came out everyone either had a pair of these or wanted a pair. You can get them now for around 100 bucks online, which is a steal.
The highs were very crisp and clean with warm mid tones to balance them out. They didn’t color the sound at all and exactly how the mix sounded is how they projected the sound. It was so easy to get a clean mix with them. Also with the extended frequency response on this model allowed the bass to come through them booming! The bass was very clean and low; I was able to mix those really low tones cleanly through this like I could through some of my better studio monitors. I never used the H 380 Pro headphones to listen to music with from my iPod but I am sure they would have sounded great. These are made for mixing engineers!
