(4 out of 5)Ministry Of Sound DJ1003 Professional Headphones Review
I bought these headphones with the intention of being able to experience very high quality music and hearing comfort at the privacy of my home or office. The DJ1003 model was certainly a high-range headphone designed for professional or home use.
It's sound quality was clear and crisp, and the headphones speaker system was able to play loud music without any weird sound distortions or with any backgroud noise such as hissing sounds. I am very satisfied with the sound quality of this unit.
The DJ1003 not only came with a sufficient long wire, but this wire was coiled. This coiled wire reduced the amount of space occupied by the wires and also helped to prevent the entanglement of the wire with other objects.
The ear-cups of the headphones were very well designed. Being fully adjustable, they are able to fit comfortably onto anybody's head. People who like to use their headphones in other unconventional positions are also pleased to know that the rotatable ear-piece allows full flexibility of how the headphones are worn.
The speakers in the ear-cup was not too close to the ear-lobes when worn and this reduced or elimenated any discomfort due to the speakers pressing on the ear. Together with the soft and well fit leather ear-cup cushions, the headphones felt like they were not physically there, thus allowing me to fully enjoy the extremely clean 'surround' sound of the headphones with near perfect comfort.
I would recommend this headphones to people who demand professional comfort and audio quality in their headphones.
(5 out of 5)Initial review - very promising
Having just received these cans today, and carrying out initial listening with them I'm very impressed.
Granted they cost £70 and should justify that, but nonetheless they are superb so far.
These are particularly engineered for bass, and they have it - in spades. Sound is clear, but powerful bass enhances it no end.
They don't shirk at high volumes either, making the ears bleed with clear output which doesn't crackle. Treble is beautifully defined, and has the right level of clarity.
The only criticism I have of them is the coil cable. While the other review is spot on terms of it making usage tidy, it also causes no end of irritation if you're trying to extend away from the hi fi.
But the sounds quality is so good you'll forgive this nuance.
(5 out of 5)For Home, DJing, Work and Drumming a must.
I originally bought my headphones for when I was drumming with my band at weddings. I wanted the closed back so I could protect my hearing by cutting out some of the drum noise. Before this I was having to use a very loud monitor to hear over the drums and had ringing in my ears for about 2 days after the gig. For this they were great!
Since then I have been doing a bit of DJing at weddings, they do every a DJ wants, even manage to block out the noise of the drunk bloke asking for the Birdy song. Again for this they were great.
Another thing I have used them for is mixing sound live, especially if you're trying to use aux channel to give a recording, the closed back works so well that you can get a pretty good idea of what you are mixing and often get have decent end result. This is why I have just bought a second pair because I am giving my original ones to my church for recording the service.
And lastly a great use for these headphones is at work (or for that matter, the train, bus in the street) while it looks funny a huge set of headphones on your head in public, you never annoy any one with unwanted music leakage. The closed back means you have the music really quite loud before anyone even notices it and if you need your music that loud you probably should just invest in a good hearing aid instead. So again for this they are great.
Amazon get them back into stock and people will buy because they are great. (I paid £70 for my first pair so the online price is also great!)
(5 out of 5)Best pair of headphones I've ever owned
I've had these headphones for 6 years. The sound quality is, and has always been, utterly fantastic. I have absolutely no complaints in that department.
After 6 years of wear and tear, some parts of the 'phones have become cracked or have fallen off - but nothing that in any way impedes the audio quality.
I would say that these headphones are heavy - they were surprisingly so when I first got them, and they're still pretty strenuous to wear for long periods of time.
The cans are closed-back, so your sound doesn't bleed out and no-one else's sound bleeds in. I can put these on, pop on some music, and be completely oblivious to the world.
I have used these headphones in audio-creation, listening to music and movies, and when playing computer games. These cans are well-suited to all activities.
I feel that I must repeat this: the audio quality is second to none. The weight of the 'phones is probably an inescapable knock-on effect of the great audio quality, so one can't complain to much. I would not hesitate to recommend these to anyone. If you care about sound quality, these are your headphones.
