Allen & Heath Xone XD-53 Professional Stereo Monitor Headphones
The Xone XD-53 headphones from Allen & Heath provide professional-quality sound in a stylish and comfortable package, ideal for studio monitoring or DJ applications. The adjustable metal-reinforced headband and soft cushion earcups provide a stable, comfortable fit. The around-ear earcup design helps to block out external noise, and the swivel capability makes single-ear monitoring a breeze.
The headphones feature 53mm neodymium drivers that deliver an extra-wide frequency response for deep bass and clear treble. The oxygen-free copper cable is coiled to provide you with variable slack and to keep tangles to a minimum. The standard 3.5mm mini plug and included 1/4" adapter provide wide compatibility. The headphones fold down neatly for convenient storage in the included pouch.

Comments about Allen & Heath Xone XD-53 Professional Stereo Monitor Headphones:
I use the headphones at home in a little home recording studio. I find them to be a great set of headphones! Particularly for the price range, they are as good as some of the more expensive headphones I've tried.
For a start they are comfortable to wear over extended periods or time. They produce a very clear sound making it possible to clearly hear discrepancies in your recordings. In fact they have made me realise that I should have spent more money on my audio interface.
The only negative is that for some reason they make me sweat a lot where the pads meet my ears and surrounding.
You wont be disappointed!

Comments about Allen & Heath Xone XD-53 Professional Stereo Monitor Headphones:
These headphone, construction wise, are made very well and they do sound exceptionally well too... BUT the right side of the headphones have stopped working after only about 5 uses. I am a mobile DJ and have had plenty of headphones break but never had one stop working...[...] replaced my headphones... Hopefully this was just a fluke and I will have no problems with my replacements... Very happy with the sound and quality of construction, which is why i rated a 4...
