I just got the headphones and HOLY **** these are sooooooooooooo much better than my Sennheiser HD280's. Great purchase, I'm glad I didn't get cheaper ones. I hear so much detail its crazy. I love the... read more [+]se man. I produce beats and I can't believe I went so long without really hearing what was going on in my mix. I will never skimp on quality audio products again. If you are going to call yourself a professional you need the best and these are the best in this price range. Definitely better than the most expensive Beats (they are not as clear and too bass heavy). I haven't even broke these in yet. close [-]

Our Customers Say...

Ninety-five percent of everything in this studio came from Sweetwater. My Sales Engineer is a lifesaver. I started working with him around 2005, talking to him about what my vision was for the studio. He was right there all the way.
