Open Box Mackie MC-350 Professional Closed-Back Headphones Level 1 Black

I use it for music production.

I've been through different studio monitors and external amplification but never really dove into flat response headphones but apartment living forces us musicians that way. I did it the old fashioned way, grabbed every pair of headphones I wanted to try and played through the same piano I have (casio cdp). I have been using ear buds (jbl) for the majority of my playing but I wanted to see what the hype was about with over the ear being the "cream of the crop" and a lot of them sounded a lot better than what I was using which was no surprise because obviously the sound would be bigger and wider than in ear. However none of them blew me away into justifying a couple hundred for headphones until I plugged these ones in. It was literally magic and a smile from ear to ear. The sound is as neutral and uncolored as well, a real piano. It doesn't boost any frequencies which is wonderful. There's no harsh distortion with big chords and the low bass notes actually register as bass and not fizz. The highs are absolutely stunning and balanced out beautifully with the bass. The mids are great, sometimes it stands out in front and other times they're hanging out in the back, still equally present. These are my first pair of studio headphones and I think im actually going to enjoy backing tracks and just playing a lot more because of them. Can't praise these cups enough. I feel as though I've ascended into a new world of sound. Try for yourself, worst that could happen is spontaneous combustion from being sonically blown away.
