Advantages: Sound Quality

Disadvantages: Build Quality

This product was purchased to complement the new dj decks I aquired from a friend (bought from Dixons).
The headphones have an adjustable head strap so that it fits all sizes (however the smallest setting is still a bit big so be careful to try it out at the shop). The headphones come with two audio plugs, which makes it compatible with mp3 players and high end dj equipment. The length of the lead from the audio plug to the headphones is long (around 3m) and is useful for roaming. The sound quality is excellent, the foam 'wraps' around your ears, which helps to keep background sound out, which inturn gives a clearer sound. As well as this the sound quality from the headphones themself is amazing, even increasing the bass on the audio player does not mess up the sound.
After a year of owning this product there are some build quality issues. The leather like product covering the foam has become worn down and started to break. As well as this, the lead which is connected to the headphones has become loose and has recently started to affect the sound quality (before you ask I have treated the headphones well, and not ruff-housing them).
Overall i will not recommend these headphones as there are plenty of competitors that offer cheaper version of basically the same product (ie. phillips offer some really good models)

Re: the build quality issues - I think that this is very common with headphones. You have to pay a lot of money for some that don't drop to bits after a year!
