Multi-mode Headphones

Many Sweetwater musicians and engineers rely on the Avantone Mixcubes as a "real-world" reference. Now, Avantone puts a new spin on headphones with the MP1 MixPhone Triple Play Personal Monitor. The multi-mode MP1 MixPhone features Vari-Voice, which lets you switch between normal neutral-voiced stereo, mono, and a Mix mode with a special contour that emphasizes midrange to replicate the sound of Mixcubes, so you can focus your attention on these crucial mix frequencies. Engineered from premium materials, the Avantone MP1 MixPhone sports cushy, pivoting earcups and a padded head strap for many hours of comfortable, continuous use in professional settings.

Avantone MixPhone MP1 Features:

  • Triple-mode headphones
  • Vari-Voice lets you switch between normal stereo, mono, and Mix mode
  • Mix mode focuses your attention on the critical midrange frequencies
  • Cushy, pivoting earcups and padded head strap for comfort during marathon sessions
  • 18Hz-25kHz frequency response lets you hear every nuance of your mixes
  • Large-format 50mm drivers for clean, powerful reproduction of any signal
  • 113dB (IEC-318@1mW)@ 1kHz SPL handles peaks with composure
  • Ships with 2 removable cables (1/8" TRS termination):3-meter straight/1-meter spring collapsible
  • 1/4" TRS threaded adapters included

So nice... I had to buy 'em TWICE!

I've produced music in the industry for years but, always wanted some flat sounding headphones to mix in while I'm at home. Well I bought the MP1's because a good engineer and friend of mine who mixed a lot of Snoop songs and worked with L.T. Hutton recommended them. Well, he was absolutely right! Solid and almost neutral in sound (perfect for mixing and mastering) a little huge in size for my taste but not uncomfortable. And every mix I did on them came out GREAT! I love the solo and cube mode for frequency coloring. Definitely a huge value for the price! Great job Aventone!

One of the best

One of the best headphones I have ever had the pleasure of using for recording and just listening to streaming audio. If there headphones are A reflection of thier Near field monitors they sure have A winning recipe here.
Rated 5/5

Great Headphones

I was needing some better headphones for mixing. These are excellent. The multiple modes are helpful to dial in the sound to help mixes translate more effectively. They seem like they are build extremely well with a nice solid feel to them. They are pretty heavy but surprisingly comfortable. They also provide good sound isolation so you don't hear much of anything except the music. I was surprised how sensitive they are, no problem getting more than enough volume out of these. A bargain at this price.

An amazing supplement to my Yamaha HS5 monitors

It's 11:30 at night. Still got to mix. And the walls on this apartment are supposedly made of concrete, yet I can hear my neighbors argue like demons.

This set of MP1's are ready to keep me working, both eliminating the next apartment's feuding noise, and practically mimicking what I use during the normal course of the day. (Not exactly, however REALLY close.) 'Nuff said on that. One of the best investments I've made.

Would like to publicly address the low stars ratings regarding "the static" issue with the connector. I didn't know this initially and also had the same "problems" with audio cutting in and out. The cables' end that comes with the headphones (don't use a generic connector) has a small screw thread which is supposed to be screwed into the headphone after the initial connection. Once I figured that out, there was no problems, and the MP1 became my monitoring system when it was the only choice, as in this morning.

Great Job

Pro
I ordered these not really knowing what I would get. What I got was more than I was expecting. First it was great that they came with two cables. 3.5 - 3.5 and 3.5 - 1/4 inch which by the way screw on for added support. The sound was great. I tried all three modes on some tracks I had. Great separation of sound. I then took them to my church and used them in a live environment. The tone for vocal mixing was fantastic and the clarity and separation on the keyboards and drums was off the hook.

Con
They are bigger than I had expected and the silver parts are actually plastic and not metal (aluminum).

I still would recomend them to someone to use over monitors
