Q: 1. Are the two 'twigs' that hold each phone made of aluminum.... or the usual plastic junk that causes most headphones to eventually break when folded? I'm sick of replacing headphones.

A: We use these commercially (TV station) and they hold up well. 3+ years, 6 techs, in post, studio and field and still going strong.

Q: 2. Are this headphones made of leather or vinyl?

A: Like everyone else said it is hard to tell. I would say Vynil but the quality is amazing. I use them to speech transcript, tone and segmental analysis and they are amazing!

Q: 3. can you also hook this up a computer?

A: absolutely. I use a USB audio interface to drive mine, but you can also just plug it in to the headphone jack on a laptop or desktop.

Q: 4. Are these headphones surround sound?

A: These are stereo headphones and cannot offer a surround-sound experience.

Q: 5. Do the headphones have volume control?

A: There is no volume control. If you're familiar with Sony's MDR-7506 headphones, these are nearly identical to those except that the Senal headphones have a detachable cable. I use these headphones for monitoring audio during professional video production shoots. For that purpose, they are excellent headphones.

Q: 6. I own the Audio-Technica ATH-M50x, which I use for film production location sound. I'm looking for a more compact alternative that will take less space in my camera bag. Are the Senal SMH-1000 a good option in that regard?

A: The SMH-1000 is arguably a better choice for monitoring location sound. They are lighter, less bulky, and allow the wearer to pick up environmental sounds much more easily while still providing a clear listening experience.

Q: 9. is this headphones work with Audioengine HD3?

A: These headphones are perfectly compatible with the Audioengine HD3 speakers.

Q: 10. Should I get these or Sony MDR-7506? They seem very similar.

A: I bought both the referenced Senal and Sony headsets--each is stored and used with separate video cameras. I cannot perceive any audio or comfort differences between these two headsets but I really like the detachable cord feature on the Senal SMH-1000. This lets me switch between the longer coiled cord or short straight cord as needs require--and provides a back-up headset cable in case the other got damaged. As the other reviewer said, you won't go wrong with either headset.
