Studio Headphones No Bass

Good studio headphones. Not very bass-heavy for those interested in everyday headphones for music.

I purchased a set of these for my home studio after using them in a variety of settings in the studio where I work. As others have mentioned, the bass response can be a bit deceiving. But I wouldn't recommend mixing with headphones alone anyhow. For composing/writing in the middle of the night or tracking live instruments, these headphones are perfect. (And much cheaper here, I might add).

You can't really go wrong with this set. You might read countless things like, I'll never go back to regular cans or Vastly improved my mixes and I forgot they were on my head, they replicate studio speakers that well. And these statements are all very true. There is certainly a heavy amount of marketing with these headphones. But, my God can you obtain such a clean mix with these. Will they replace my studio speakers entirely? No. But they are the best way to double check your mixes, no doubt. And it makes it so much easier to find tune EQ and adjust your mix. If you don't have quality studio speakers and a treated room and if these were all you had to go by, it would be acceptable. The only negative I would say about this set is that while the emulations of professional studios are fantastic, the headphones themselves could certainly be improved. While the bass reproductions work and they provide the data you need to make your adjustments in the mix, the bass is very muted and weak. Again, the necessary frequency reproductions are there but it needs more oomph. I think what the VSX system needs is just a higher ohm model with some higher quality bass drivers. Why not provide a premium edition? All in all, I don't think anyone could actually be disappointed with these.

I was looking for affordable studio headphones to mix and master my own music tracks, basically guitars, bass and drums at night so my family wouldn't have to sleep in a tent ;-). As of today the sound quality is very good. The bass is not overwhelmed, mid and highs are very well balanced. If you are bass and highs lover they are not for you. They are not 100% studio monitors replacement but for occasionally work at night and tracking are perfect. I have to mention that my head is a size of melon so I'm always worry about the comfort. In this case is no issue.

These are my very favorite headphones, and I'm not just saying that because I was asked to write a review. These headphones were top of the line studio headphones for years. If you watch videos of producers in studio, they're likely to be wearing a pair. They have a very nice distribution of sound that is very open and relaxed. You don't feel like sound is being jammed into your ears. The mix of bass and highs is very even. If you like heavy heavy bass, these won't be what you're looking for. Overall, I've never been happier with a set of headphones.

Simply great headphones. No bass enhancement, no extra tinkle, just accurate dependable headphones. Frequently I wear them for 3-4 hours at a time without fatigue, ear pain or sweating. There is a reason you will see pro studio people wearing these. Accuracy, comfort and consistency.

These headphones provide much more accurate sound than many other headphones, -some costing much more. No lower midrange dip and exaggerated highs like the Sony 7506s. No exaggerated bass like all those overpriced DJ headphones out there (you know which ones I mean). Solid, but realistic sounding bass. Good response through the midrange. Smooth, extended top end. If it's in the recording, you'll hear it. If it's not, you won't. The interchangeable cords are a nice touch and very convenient.

These are the standard reference headphones for audiophiles. You get them for exactly that reason. No extra bass, no extra treble, just the music as intended

I purchased 3 sets for all my Sony headphones in my studio. The fit and feel is far better than the original. No black plastic coating to flake off. And better isolation for better sound quality. These will add years to our headphones.

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