Many years ago, I worked for my parents who own a video production company. Because it is a family business, you inevitably end up wearing many hats and being the czar of many different jobs. I mainly managed projects and worked as a video editor. On production, there were times that I was called on to work as an audio tech and was made to wear headphones on long production days. In those days, having a really good set of headphones that picked up every nuance of sound was essential to making sure the client got what they needed.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s safe to say that because of my unique professional experiences<\/strong>, I\u2019ve tested out a lot of headphones.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
First impressions.<\/h4>\n
Naturally, my first impression of these headphones is based off of the look of them. They have a classic over-the-ear style that is highlighted by a blue LED light<\/strong> that indicates the power for the noise canceling. The padding on the ear pieces seems adequate for extended usage periods.<\/p>\n
They are wired headphones, but the 3.5mm stereo mini-plug cable is detachable. Something else I noticed right of the bat was the very nice carrying case that comes with them. It has a hard plastic exterior with a soft cloth interior that helps to protect the surface of the headphones from scratches. I never truly appreciated cases for headphones until I started carrying them from place-to-place. Now I can\u2019t imagine not having a case.<\/p>\n
A perfect fit.<\/h4>\n
Once I gave the headphones a thorough once-over exam, I tried them on. As I mentioned, they have a classic over-the-ear style<\/em> and just looking at them, the padding on the ear pieces seem adequate and the peak of the headband seemed to be a bit lacking, but you don\u2019t really know comfort unless you try on the product. So, I slipped the headphones on and found them to be exquisitely comfortable.<\/p>\n
Quality.<\/h4>\n
Now that I had the headphones on my head, I was finally ready to plug and play some music. I plugged the provided cable into the jack on the headphones and then the one on my iPhone 6. Then I called up Pandora. I tend to have a very eclectic music purview and have many stations set up for different moods. From John Williams<\/strong> to Fallout Boy<\/strong>, the sound quality of these headphones was remarkable. There is an amazing depth of sound and incredible highs and lows that make listening to music a truly breathtaking experience.<\/p>\n
In order to test how voices sounded, and the overall art of sound mixing, I pulled up Netflix on my iPad Air 2 and watched a few minutes of a movie to hear all the nuances of the film. None of them were lost. In fact, I ended up hearing sounds that I hadn\u2019t heard before. Echoes\u2026birds chirping\u2026wind blowing through trees\u2026breathing of the characters\u2026it was very impressive what the headphones ended up bringing out for me.<\/p>\n
I would highly recommend these to any sound mixing specialist.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
