Beyerdynamic DT 700 Pro X

Thu, 07 Oct 2021 10:00:53 +0000

The new Beyerdynamic DT 700 Pro X are analytical closed headphones. Their modern over-ear design is well-made and comfortable to wear.

Beyerdynamic DT 900 Pro X

Thu, 07 Oct 2021 10:00:46 +0000

The new Beyerdynamic DT 900 Pro X are over-ear headphones that offer great sonic transparency. They deliver a treble-emphasised signal, which in the mids sounds rather cold and sober and unobtrusive in the basses. These open headphones are particularly suitable as a means of isolating subtle nuances in sound in audio processing and mixing. The DT 900 Pro X Sound also offer purists and hi-fi fans a good headphone for classical, jazz and other acoustic music.

Audix A10X

Mon, 16 Aug 2021 15:29:21 +0000

Professional in-ear headphones for use on stage have to cope with a tough daily routine. Nevertheless, comparatively delicate devices such as in-ear headphones are necessary because their discreet appearance does not distract from the performance and allows for increased freedom of movement on stage. In addition, such solutions need to sound as convincing as possible and be capable of playing at a high output volume. Does the Audix A10X accomplish these tasks?

Audix A10

Mon, 16 Aug 2021 15:28:24 +0000

Headphones are subjected to a demanding and rigorous daily routine when used on stage. In order to do their job, they should be of a suitably robust design. The use of comparatively delicate in-ear monitors seems at first glance to be incongruous, yet they are designed to be inconspicuous during the performance. However, if the equipment in question is to meet the demand for neutral sound reproduction and high output volume, the limit is quickly reached. But when an old hand in the audio industry takes on the task, we can only be curious about the result.

Phonon SMB-01L

Tue, 03 Aug 2021 15:17:36 +0000

It was exactly seven years ago that the SMB-02 debuted from the then newly founded headphone company "Phonon". The founding trio of the company consisted of Isao Kumano, Yusuke Uchiyama and Alex Prat, all of whom are active musicians, producers, engineers and DJs – the best prerequisites for developing decent headphones. And indeed, the SMB-02 was able to win over an enthusiastic following (the author of this review is one of them) within a very short time due to its extremely detailed and linear sound. The new SMB-01L now wants to join this tradition. The "L" in the name stands for "large" because its declared aim is "big studio sounds in your ears". With a statement like that, we are, of course, immediately on the alert, and we subjected the headphones to an extensive test.

Avantone Pro Planar

Mon, 30 Nov 2020 13:57:50 +0000

In studio circles, the American company Avantone Pro has been known (and loved) for years for reissuing legendary studio monitors such as Yamaha's NS-10 or Auratone's Soundcube, as well as a whole range of classic microphones of outstanding quality. But more and more often Avantone also release their own creations, which are often much more exciting than the replicas. One of these new developments is the Planar - an open studio headphone that uses the somewhat exotic magnetostatic driver principle.

dSoniq Realphones

Tue, 24 Nov 2020 14:09:34 +0000

Mixing with headphones is problematic as they differ in sound from loudspeakers because they emit sound directly into the ear without any reflections in the room. Loudspeakers are also placed in front of the listener and, depending on the design, transmit sound to both ears. So it is no wonder that the mix does not sound identical, which can certainly cause complications. The Russian company dSoniq addresses exactly this problem with Realphones.

Mackie MC-100

Thu, 19 Nov 2020 13:48:49 +0000

Mackie are expanding their product range with a bold price cut: With the MC-100, they are introducing a pair of truly affordable closed headphones. They round off the lower end of the product series consisting of the MC-150 and MC-250. This is particularly exciting because the other two models have already earned a price-performance recommendation from us. So we say: Raise the curtain, or rather your ears, for the MC-100.

Mackie's entry into the headphone market can certainly be described as successful. Especially the – second place in terms of price – MC-250 which convinced us with their price-performance ratio. All three previous models in the series (MC-150, 250 and 350) had one thing in common: they were all closed designs. With the MC-450, Mackie now introduce their first studio headphones with an open back, and these have all the advantages associated with such a design, like less heat build-up and the feeling of still being in contact with your surroundings.
