«  Good headphones but .... »

Value For Money : Excellent
Following a test published Audiofanzine on, I was tempted by this headset, there are more than 2 years.
I was pleasantly surprised by the overall result of this headphone that I have never done anything stupid when I used to mix small phases (hip-hop and electro mainly).
Since I use as the Ultrasone Pro 900, which renders really stunning but in terms of price range is much higher.
Personally, I have a special affection for the ATH M50, because frankly the value for money is execellent

BUT ... wound down regarding the durability of the materials used to design these headphones. Indeed BTE crumbled and I can change them using contours intended for another headphone because the contours of ATH M50 are not sold by the piece.
The erosion has now won the arch and frankly it's boring!

IN summary:

the +:
- Value for money
- Good overall record mixes (it can not make you crash)

the -:
- Durability of materials
- No possibility of parts


As I like to work some part of my headphone mixes I'll buy a new headphone that will Beyerdynamic DT 770 in addition to the Ultrasone Pro 900 provides that me because I like to switcher headphone appreciate the good and bad points of my mixes. I think that as far as possible to the top loudspeakers is to have a reference pair and another pair to compare.
