If you want to be a master…this is not your set! (ie, if you want to use this for mastering)
If you want to be an {EXPERT} this IS your set! (something different, not necessarily better)
A audio engineer. Clear sound is pristine, and stainless; bass should roll-off at the right frequency, thick mid-range, delicious treble…(Pioneer 3 EQ mixer is a decent example). Let me say this: if you are into bass, then do not purchase this set. This set does not have clearly defined tone, frequency response is what this set is all about.
As an accomplished Cellist, harmonics, similar to frequency response, is a ****{FUN}**** quirk! However you cannot play the entire score using harmonics. {It is {FUN} to play the entire song in harmonics! Play the entire song on {D} string; {4th position}, {thumb position} the whole 9 yards!}
To talk metaphorically:
Take an ice-sickle; it is clear, and accurately mirrors. The light reflecting, shinning *around* the ice-sickle is what is like this frequency response. These headphones are like the light reflecting around the ice, they do not offer clarity in sound quality.
Take a game of chess…one wants to know the proper openings, mid game, and endgame…one has to memorize “line set-list”, tactic, strategy; however, when you play {Bobby Fisher} style, each move is refreshing! These headphones are like Bobby Fisher style chess, rarely used in a professional’s toolkit, however when you see it: “O Wonder!”
Last Words:
This set of headphones is like any fx/filter/xyz hardwarebox/software plugin, you can imagine…its a ****FUN**** looking glass, not a crystal clear sound. Not much bass either…almost sounds “air-headed.”
DO NOT get into a businessman’s playing field and worry about the marketing…

The jack to this thing is HUGE! I can’t plug it into my MP3 player, radio or stereo. I thought these were for music but apparently I was wrong. Finally got an adapter today.. a month later.. and tried to listen to the music. Couldn’t hear the music very well and the headphones didn’t fit that well. I’ll try to play with it tomorrow to see if I can get it to work better.

This is a great headphones for the price but after I started using it I got a buzzing noise in the left ear and it also has an awkward look when you put it on.

I own several pieces of Behringer equipment and was hoping these would live up to the name (fair quality for a fair price). However, for the price I should have guessed that these were not going to be all that great.
I’ve returned one set and tried another and they both performed poorly.
The sound quality was average… what you’d expect at this price point. However, even at low levels moderate to low end bass comes across very distorted.
The worse thing about these is that they actually increase ambient noise in the room! That was a first for me.
I’m going to jump a few price points and go with Sennheiser HD-280 Professional Headphones
As always KUDOS TO AMAZON for GREAT customer service!!!

I bought this for my 16 yr old son and within a month it was broken. He is usually careful so I was surprised at how quickly they were unusable. I guess you get what you pay for.
