In Ear Monitoring Systems Versus Headphones

There are headphones designed for audiophiles, for home / studio use, and there are headphones designed for monitoring. The DJH-2500 is ideal for monitoring. The Polsen DJH-2500 Headphones were designed to have the mid range more accentuated on purpose, giving you more ease of listening in what you are hearing / mixing / creating in a live wedding reception, noisy streets, music fests, or similar situations where there’s too much noise and loud music. I’m not a DJ, but my needs are identically similar. I’m a filmmaker / videographer including weddings ,corporate video and dance recitals. So, I use the Polsen DJH-2500 in my camera’s headphone jack. The DJH-2500 allows me to listen to critical audio without having to up the volume all the way because of the accented mid range and the way the ear cups help block sound. The ear cups are comfortable enough for a whole day of use at a venue. If you are the type of listener who likes “Mega Bass” or excessive bass, this is not the headphone for that and you’re going to pay a lot more for it . And for the uneducated listener, too much bass is not ideal either, as it overpowers the mid and high frequencies, especially when using it for monitoring. To my taste, however, I wish the DJH-2500 had a bit more highs though…I like more treble. Other than that, it’s a very useful and a nice pair of headphones. I also like the dual input feature which is nice. If needed, you can hear two input sources at the same time, one source on each ear. Again, for DJs, musicians and videographer, we use that feature. For headphone hygiene, don’t forget to check out this item: it’s a MUST! I use it on every headphone I own: Auray Disposable Over-Ear Headphone Covers (50 Pairs, Black or white). https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1585973-REG [I have received this product in exchange for my honest review].

True sound, true monitoring headphones

I purchased this unit to use at our house of worship as a live feed controller for our monitoring systems...it is simple, easy to use, and works great for this purpose.

We run an enterprise network for 250 End Users with multiple applications and systems. These devices are a nice tool for the price to help monitor the network and give some insurance in case a power source fails. I have had 4 of these online for years. No issues. The display indicates the amperage on the bus, which allows me to better balance my loads. I know exactly what is on each of my UPS systems. The fail over is fast enough from Pri to Sec to not lose a load. The Net card also allows for environmental monitoring, Input monitoring and control, as well as Load Control for cycling a load when needed. You can also shed your load so critical systems stay on the UPS longer.

Now I can finally use my 4 different monitoring systems in my home studio thanks to this little thing. There is no volume inconsistency or anything else. Takes a stereo input and gives out the same amount of signal through all four outputs.

The Sennheiser HD280 is ideal for monitoring and editing your audio and video recordings and live performances. They have good enough outside noise rejection to be usable in live situations and are extremely critical of the input. Don't confuse these with nice polite hi-fi headphones for enjoyment - they are not. They will give you the unvarnished truth about your audio whether you like it or not. However ... (and this is big one) ... once your audio sounds good on these cans it will sound awesome everywhere else! I highly recommend getting this kit if only for the ear pads. They are a breeze to fit and are way more comfortable (and less sweaty) for extended monitoring than the PU ones that come as standard. The case is a nice add on and has space for the coiled cable (which I could do without to be honest). I like that you can flip an ear piece over so that someone else can listen beside you and also that they fold up to take up (slightly) less space. I initially thought that the headband was a little too tight but after a 10 hour editing session today I've changed my mind and decided that it's actually OK.

Very nice over the ear headphones. I’m still learning how to use them, but so far, I really like them!

If you have mic'd headphones, then this TRRS is useful for monitoring and recording on a lightning input iPhone.
