Reviews around detail (5.00 of 5)

  • The bass is right there in your face, but never intruding on the more sensitive details in your tracks
  • They feel like elite headphones in your hands, smooth beautiful detailing across the support, and comfortable, interchangable earcups
  • Great separation, great detail, amazingly deep and controlled bass
  • I hear things clearly in video games as well as in foot steps and certain audio cues

Reviews around sennheiser (5.00 of 5)

  • Sennheiser has won me over again with another amazing product
  • Given that these headphones were designed for DJ-ing, you can't fault Sennheiser too much for the case size
  • soundstage."But what if I want a closed-back, rugged pair of cans with Sennheiser quality AND a mature,
  • Sennheiser might just have perfected the over-ear headphones here
  • Sennheiser needs to support their products more, though.

Reviews around experience (5.00 of 5)

  • Only downside is it needs some power to have a good experience.
  • I used this on my galaxy s4 and i can get a good listening experience without cranking it up to its loudest.
  • Like I said if you need more accuracy for this price range check out the DT770's but for an overall better experience these for sure
  • I've owned some other Sennheiser headphones like the HD 595, and those have great sound, but it really demands running the headphone from a 1/4 inch jack, since your acoustic experience is not nearly so isolated, and there's a lot of bleed

Reviews around headphones (5.00 of 5)

  • I hear things clearly in video games as well as in foot steps and certain audio cues

  • I Love these so much the bass is nice and deep but not to over powering if you keep it at the lower spectrum, and enough o fhb emits and highs come in to give it a true flat sound.

Reviews around amp (5.00 of 5)

  • like I said I recommend a good amp, I personally use the Aune t1 dac/amp, but the one recommended by
  • I suppose that is the downside to having a 95 Ohm impedance, but hey i think anybody who is crazy enough to drop this much money on some headphones would also take into consideration that the right amp can definitely compliment their investment.
  • They're amazing on their own but they truly shine when hooked up to a nice amp/dac
  • That is until I used one of my portable amps, which is a Fiio E11, with my Ipod nano and

Reviews around isolation (4.53 of 5)

  • I love the clamping force and tight seal, the isolation is the best I've heard on DJ headphones.
  • I Love these so much the bass is nice and deep but not to over powering if you keep it at the lower spectrum, and enough o fhb emits and highs come in to give it a true flat sound.
  • The sound quality and noise isolation for passive headphones is excellent on these
  • The Crossfades sound great and the build is outstanding, but they lack the sound isolation and collapsible/adjust-ability of the hinges on the HD8's
  • Alsothe sound isolation is awesome; I work in a noisy environment with people having conversations continuously around me and with these pones playing I would say that about 80% of the background noise is eliminated.

  • By far the most impressive build quality for headphones i have ever seen
  • Build is durable and no chance of breaking them any time soon
  • The Crossfades sound great and the build is outstanding, but they lack the sound isolation and collapsible/adjust-ability of the hinges on the HD8's

Reviews around case (4.26 of 5)

  • They come with a durable carrying case that also holds the cords and the second set of the ear muffs.
  • It came with a nice case to protect this beauties, and also the size is perfect, not bulky at all
  • The set comes with a nice case but the case is a bit big
  • Pros: build quality, sound quality, nice carrying case, sounds amazing with a amp/DAC, strong base, nice design, sound-proofingCons: can give you headaches on account of tightness around the ears if you don't adjust the cups often, same deal with the band on the top of the headOther thoughts: all the base in these headphones is gone when wearing with glasses, I have to wear
  • On top of the additional set of ear pads, these headphones also come with a 3.5mm to 6.35mm adapter that screw onto the plug securely, and a very robust travel case with handle that holds one cable, the headphones, and the extra set of ear cushions

Reviews around bass (4.05 of 5)

  • Great separation, great detail, amazingly deep and controlled bass
  • Now for the Vmoda M100's, If you like Beats By Dre then you will LOVE these, they have punchy bass like crazy punchy bass but does not sound muddy at all
  • I think the bass is great, but not as obnoxious as some of the Beats or Sony's I've tried
  • NO harsh distortion or pitches at loud volumes and the bass is perfect and clear not fake sounding
  • Great set of headphones, suites my ears, not too much pressure and sound is on the brighter side and bass has a bit more boom then others.

Reviews around earcups (3.53 of 5)

  • Earcups seem a bit flimsy, both pairs ripped on me over the course of a year or two of normal use
  • They feel like elite headphones in your hands, smooth beautiful detailing across the support, and comfortable, interchangable earcups
  • Both earcups isolate sound very well and simply snap onto the headphones
  • I hear things clearly in video games as well as in foot steps and certain audio cues
  • The pleather earcups breathe incredibly well due to being the material that they are.(Hang with me here, my brain travels a thousand mile a minute)Let's skip to packaging, 'cause that is the idea flow

Reviews around sound (3.42 of 5)

  • Am no headphones expert but if find it has a really nice, clear sound
  • Both earcups isolate sound very well and simply snap onto the headphones
  • NO harsh distortion or pitches at loud volumes and the bass is perfect and clear not fake sounding
  • The Pioneer HDJ 1000 may have great sound, but it literally crumbled in less than a year of use and the foam on the headphone disintegrated which left black sticker like things on the sides of my face after Djing
  • Despite the poor sound in the beginning, these headphones are a prime example of the fact that new headphones need to be broken in.

Reviews around bite (1.00 of 5)

  • The cloth ones lose a bit of noise isolation, so that is a trade-off you'll have to consider
  • Such great quality, other reviews have said they're a bit uncomfortable after a
  • They do tend to bleed a bit of noise sadly so you can't really crank them up
  • Earcups seem a bit flimsy, both pairs ripped on me over the course of a year or two of normal use
  • these were a bit uncomfortable, but thats because its made of metal, so you give up these babies being light weight for build quality which I will definitely trade for
