Krk Kns 8400 Studio Reference Headphones

Been cross shopping studio reference headphones for A WHILE, finally decided on the ATH-M50x and couldn't be happier for the price. B&H had best price on the internet and shipping was legit lightning fast. Highly recommend both!

Wonderful pair of headphones. Great flat response, I use them for a quick reference away from my studio monitors.

As a long time user of KRK and Yamaha studio monitors -,I was blown away by the Sound reproduction of the 8010s! ..These little marvels have now replaced both my Yamaha HS5 and KRK rockit 5”s as my go to mixing monitors for music and film projects .,, could not be happier ..

An excellent option for studio monitors at this price point and a great alternative to the KRK yellow cones. The Adams sound like they are optimized for creating electronic music: excellent bass response and they sound great at all volumes.

A great go-to for headphones in the field or studio.

If your needs are anything less than a professional recording studio, these are the headphones for you.

Drives my Grado RS1e reference headphones like an amp that cost multiple times the cost of the Apogee. My appreciation to Apogee for delivering an exceptional product.

An outstanding cheap set of cans. These were the reference headphones we used in university & de rigueur at a lot of radio stations Ive worked at.  They are comfortable for extended use. Less lo-mid bump than Sonys not quite as brittle as Beyers. Close back great for tracking vocals. Not well suited for field production like 7506s but great for studio.

Some of the best headphones I've ever owned. For reference I have used Bose QC 35 II, AirPods Pro, Sony, Beats. These are pricy but worth the money.

I use this product as a reference check while mixing. These headphones are especially good for hearing midrange and high frequency issues in the mix. Any sibilance problems will stand out clearly with these headphones. A very useful tool for hearing unwanted artifacts that result from compression, EQ, vocal tuning, reverb, etc. A small minority of folks may find these headphones pleasing for casual music listening, but I would not recommend these headphones for that purpose. They are far too detailed and critical. Not necessarily the flattering type of listening experience. Rather, they are a useful tool for a recording engineer or producer who needs to hear subtleties within the complex layer of music. Headphones such as the K701s are just about necessary for the artist who wants to create professional quality, artifact-free recordings.
