5.0 out of 5 stars The best moderately priced headphones, September 5, 2006

Stanton is absolutely the best headphone at this price. Better than Sennheiser, Sony, etc. With the Stanton, you can crank up the bass and still hear high notes like a triangle. Nothing else compares for under $100.

4.0 out of 5 stars Quality, April 1, 2008

There are both good and bad things about these cans like there is for practically every set of headphones out there. First off these headphones are NOT BULKY OR HEAVY and have no idea what the guy below me was thinking. Part of the reason that I like these guys is because they are so lightweight and you can toss them on and off so quickly and easily. They are smaller compared to your average set of cans like the Sony's, or the Technics, Pioneers, etc. They are not as Bassy or punchy as the Sony's but come quite close. The Mids, and Highs to me sound in the same ballpark. To me the first thing to go was the padding in the headband which fell apart rather quickly (about 3 months) which I crazy glued back on and problem solved. Then the headband itself started cracking and although this didnt affect the peformance of the cans themselves, I didnt understand why the material cracked except from normal usage. What I like about these Cans is that it has a stereo/Mono switch which assists in precise mixes ( at least for me anyway) and the fact that they are sooolight and comfortable on the head. I do 4-5 hour sets and hardly notice they are even on at times. They fit so snug on my head compared to the Bulky Sonys or other versions. I personally dont like the way I look DJing with Huge headphones on my head when I take pictures. Stanton actually came out with the newer version 3000s series and I think they pale in comparison. They dont have the mono/stereo switch, they are heavy and bulky like the Sony's and sound exactly the same. The reason they still sell these older 2000s series is because they are popular and sell a lot. I like them for their convenience of being so light and so snug. Besides some things I mention, they dont break as often as the Sony's or pioneer's. Puit it this way, these are Tiesto's trademark headphones which he uses at every single show and I doubt he would use anything but quality. Dont let the price fool you, these are quality headphones!

5.0 out of 5 stars like getting single malt on a beer budget, February 28, 2010

When I bought these, I was looking for the best cans I could find for less that $200, I tried about 15 different headphones in that price range and these are the ones that I liked best. I usually push them with a presonus hp4 headphone amp (.25mw per channel), with that amp, I can hit 100+db without turning the volume past about 2/10. These things are absolutely brutal if you want them to be. That isn't all they are though, these things sound incredible no matter what volume they are at, they are crisp, clean, and transparent on the entire audible range. I listen to a lot of different music, and hip hop, jazz, classical, classic rock, indie, metal and anything else I have played through them all sound excellent, if you have a decent eq, you can make them sound however you want them too. I have also used these for mixing some home recordings, which they are great at because of their flat freq. response curve.

I gave 4 for construction because they do feel a little bit flimsy, but I have had mine for over 2 years and they still look pretty much brand new. 4 for ease of use because they are pretty bulky and a little bit uncomfortable after a couple hours (uncomfortable to wear, not to listen to), and the large 1/4" jack is less than ideal if you are going to be using these with a portable device.

For about $90, these sound very nearly as good as my Paradigm monitor 9 loud speakers, which cost about $500 a piece, how can you say no to that?
