    I just raliser a comparative test with the Beyer DT 770 Pro and the Sony MDR 7000DJ.
    Conditions have t ralises by listening to records and testing Syrius Das Microfon. Each headphone will then pass the "roping frquentielle" Pink Noise 1/3 October 20 20khz and frequencies sinusodales 20 20Khz still octave.

    The 240m reveals a good balance across the spectrum of frequencies and good spacialisation. The balance, dynamics and timbre of the instruments are perfectly respects uncolored particulire. Not be very accurate surgical.

    I use this headset for several months now, mainly for monitoring the amateur.

    I look forward to buying other models, K271, DT 770, but I found that one-hand, I jumped on it. This is my first headset monitor, so I lack of benchmarks but for now I am fully satisfied with this headphone.
    The spectrum is neutral, a bit light in the bass, perhaps, but that does not bother me in my mixes yet.

    At that price, I will ever be the choice for sure! Nine, maybe I will give away for a DT 990 AKG of BeyerDynamics. Or a nice focal One headphone in closed ...

    Discoveries I have this headphone a few weeks ago, but dj is part of my home studio, and I would do without it. Fidler sound reproduction, lightweight and comfortable
    I love it!

    Used for over 5 years in my studio I think it is hard to beat. This is the studio of ref. His only weakness when used alone is his leve impdence (you have to push the volume to a normal sound) but it becomes an advantage when trying to connect on a more same output (yes ten prob ss to register a company)
    the sound is trs neutral color so it's not good to rev the studio mixes
    against by not good for djs in fact is not made for that.

    I use it for about a year,

    EXTRAS:

    I love its ergonomics (it really well around the ears, are a treat listening flexible, light weight, forget the fact) and also the feeling of comfort it provides sound (very clear and precise placement of sound). As monitoring headphones so it's perfect. I have not encountered the problem of impedance, however, connected live on my Delta 44 he goes to a level stronger than my MP5 pregnant!

    Cons:
    the outline he gives her is flattering in listening every day but becomes quite problematic when used in the mix. In my case I have yet to calibrate it with my main speakers so you know exactly what result I get: it gives a depth to the midrange and treb…

In my case I have yet to calibrate it with my main speakers so you know exactly what result I get: it gives a depth to the midrange and treble that in the end my mix sounded too muffled on my MP5 or my stereo. I know we should not mix in the headphones, but at night all the neighbors are sleeping

    Overall, I do not regret my purchase, but if anyone has some advice to overcome this critical (subjective) I'm interested.

    For more than two years of use, not criticism. What j'apprcie most is a precision ... good, we do not over mix, but it's true that we must know, to know tempra cost. But when we look for the Little Miss bte, we hear the good. One can spend hours without turning the volume too high (watch your ears when you mix in the headphones!). And the comfort ..

    Very good headphone that highlights the scenic so formidable.
    You can hear everything with and I discovered on my favorite cd of the subtleties that my Sennheiser hd210

    With this headset I found some mistakes on my artwork made with my QY100

    the bass that I had not noticed with the hd210.

    Comfort is good but after a few hours, however, it crushes me some parts
    ears (those that exceed ...) something I had not seen the Sennheiser.
    This is due to the thickness of the foam of the hd210 ear is higher and more rigid
    on the Akg. Unfortunately we can not really realizing it by testing a few minutes.

    It is 600 ohms which compared to hd210 making it 32 provides a smaller volume
    on the headphone output of a CD player, a mixer or my QY100 but it remains
    very adequate (some limit on the QY100 anyway!) unless it is connected to the output
    a multi-effects Digitech RP50 kind or Zoom 504 with no large output power
    (On a pedal the result is even worse!).
    In this case it is best to plug them into a mini-amp or a mixer because even with
    The Sennheiser level was really light.

    I would do reconseille the keg and this choice because as money (95 euros) is excellent.

    9a is a very good ten years that I use and I always flat at the time.
    The minor complaint, I know if it's me, but I feel he has a level that is lower than other headphones of the market. A single wire, left a good home to orreilles CRNE and make all of the same headphone trs comfort.
