All user reviews for the M-Audio Q40

I bought this headphone in 2009 to the mix.

The construction seemed sturdy cable unscrewed and therefore replaceable was a good point.

In practice, it is very linear, but a little short to explore in detail what happens in the bass.
I happened to do a mix sounding very good in this headset, and I end up with a very boomy sound on the speakers ...

Engaging voice, as it is semi-closed, it repisse lot into the microphone.

What I like least is the leatherette (not to say the sky) covering the atria. This summer, in the studio, it was hot, and my singer found himself full of small pieces of plastic on the ears, neck, everything is left in shreds.

If it again, I do not buy, and I do not recommend it, shame because it has qualities, but M-Audio has not gone after the design of a headphone: it it can be used in real life, not just five minutes from time to time!

- For how long have you been using it?

About 6 months now.

- Did you try many other models before getting this one?

I was very knowledgeable on the net and around me ... before this one, I already had a numark (disappointing strength) and Panasonic (who had more than well served).

- What is so special that you like best?

On his first ... Record of frequencies nickel! I rediscovered some of my limit since I do not sound monitoring at home. No problem of strength for me, although I have a short 15 months that likes to catch it from time to time.

- What is so special that you like least?

Comfort level I knew better ... ears quite warm if you keep it longer than 2 hours.

- What is your opinion about the value for the price?

Unbeatable in my case, I got it for 80 euros including shipping from Muzikia! in the same range, headphones usually cost double!

- Knowing what you know now, would you make the same choice?

No worries, yes!
