Get to know them!

EX29 isolation headphones are a perennial favorite here at Sweetwater. The latest model, the Direct Sound EX29 Plus, gives music lovers and audio professionals better performance than ever: better isolation (36.7dB) to keep click bleed out of your tracks and extraneous noise out of your ears; better comfort to weather those marathon mixing and tracking sessions; better sound quality, courtesy of TruSound V.2 drivers; a premium detachable audio cable; and a more contemporary look. A gold-plated 1/8" jack with a screw-on 1/4" adapter gives you the flexible connectivity you need.

Upgraded for Premium Performance

The new Direct Sound EX29 Plus has been overhauled for even better isolation, comfort, convenience, and sound quality. Veteran users will instantly notice this model’s more comfortable headband and flatter-response TruSound V.2 drivers, which go a long way to make those marathon work and listening sessions more productive and enjoyable. The next big feature is the aircraft-grade aluminum cable connector with premium detachable cable, which ensures your EX29 Plus headphones stay sounding great session after session.

Passive attenuation for tracking and live use

The EX29 Plus closed-back headphones were developed expressly to isolate sound. Their specially designed ear cushions are comfortable for the listener, yet act as a superb barrier between the headphone’s speakers and your live microphones. And while other headphones sometimes measure their noise-reduction capabilities at one specific frequency, the EX29 Plus headphones offer 36.7dB of passive isolation over a wide frequency range.

Mix reliable

While the EX29 Plus headphones are great for musicians in the studio, they also deliver crisp sound for the engineer when it comes time to mix. Pull on your pair and hear everything accurately reproduced from 20Hz–20kHz. The 40mm TruSound V.2 drivers with 1,000mW input power were carefully designed for high-fidelity performance.

Designed for comfort

While many headphones deliver great sound, the level of comfort they offer is often the tipping point in determining whether they’re really worth your investment or not. Sure, they sound great, but if you can’t comfortably wear them for long sessions when it really counts, then what’s the point? When you want closed-back headphones designed with wearability in mind, look to the EX29s. The newly designed adjustable headband lets you position the earcups in just the right place, while heavily padded ear cushions create a closed-back chamber of sound.

Easy to use

We’ve all had that fumbling moment when we’ve picked up a pair of headphones and scrutinized each side of them for the little “L” and “R” markings before putting them on. The EX29 Plus headphones save that time in the studio with their innovative “red is right” feature: the inside ear panel of the right channel is covered with bright red fabric. Just tell the musicians “red is right,” and you can be sure they’re hearing exactly the mix you’ve dialed in for them.

For pro and personal audio devices

Sometimes you need excellent, isolated sound outside the studio — like when you’re checking a mix on your phone or mixing out in the wild. EX29 Plus headphones are built for pro and personal audio devices, with a gold-plated 1/4" adapter that screws on over the 1/8" jack for great sound wherever you work.

What is Certified Open Box Gear?

At Sweetwater, we're so picky that what we call "Certified Open Box" is actually better than what most music retailers sell as "new" gear! Our gear hasn't endured hundreds of people a week plunking away at all the keyboards, fumbling through Stairway to Heaven on every guitar or playing with every fader and knob on a mixer or control surface.

Certified Open Box (also known as a demo) means we’ve had it out of the box for our YouTube channel, displayed at events, tested in our studio, or maybe it was in a customer’s hands for a few days and isn’t ‘factory fresh’ as a result. Every Certified Open Box item we sell has Sweetwater’s 2-year Total Confidence Coverage™ warranty and has been tested and verified up to ‘new’ specs by our factory-authorized technicians to make sure it’s in perfect working order before we ship it to you.

When you buy a Certified Open Box item at Sweetwater, you get:
  • 2-year Total Confidence Coverage Warranty™!
  • Products inspected and tested by our factory-authorized techs, guaranteed to function like new (or better)!
  • FREE shipping on most items
  • Equipment that will MEET or EXCEED your expectations!

The estimated required monthly payment shown which excludes taxes and delivery equals the amount financed divided by the number of months in the promo period, rounded up to the next cent. During the last month(s) of the promo period the required monthly payment may be reduced due to this rounding. These payments apply only with the financing offer shown.
