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.

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!

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?

I have owned a pair of these for about 18 months and I find them to be a great value. I bought them for their great sound, but I soon discovered that they offer about 20 dB of sound attenuation, so I use them on airplanes, and they are great. I haven't had any durability problems, and I have brought them to Europe twice and across the US several times with no problems.

I think they are fairly light for their size. They do get a bit uncomfortable after several hours on a long flight, but i think any over the ear headphone would for me.

I have only two complaints, both minor. First of all. the headphone plug is a bit large; I would have designed it differently. This may seem minor, but in an airplane seat it does get in the way, and I worry about bending it if I move. Secondly, I wish it came with a padded case for travel, though I have found they just fit into an old CD player case I already had. If it weren't for these two things, I would give this five stars.

I find it has its ups and downs. the up ois that it gives a tramendace sound from a scale of 1 to 100 i would give it a 110 + its very snug. although it is snug it puts pressure on the top of my head and i always have to adjest it wich is a pain in the assbut slowly im getting used to it. The sound of it is sso perfect that it beats the sound quality of the bose sound canceling headphones wich uses battery that i have to change all the time and each battery cost lot of money there are so many features i like about it like the strech distance of the cord, te adapter plug abilaty to seperate. well lets just day these r the perfect dj head set i ever owned oh ive had these 4 about a 10 days

These headphones have a great sound for a VERY reasonable price! I would recommend them to any consumer or professional. I now own 7 sets and use them in my recording studio.

Good, now it was that I received prodcto bought (Stanton DJ PRO 2000S DJ Headphones). I have proven it and it seems to me good quality.

I've had these for 2 years and they still sound crisp . the novel stereo/mono switch is cool too.

I absolutely love these headphones. I was looking for some great DJ headphones that were comfortable and had superb sound quality, and that's exactly what I got. They fold up really well for traveling, and the coiled cord is an appropriate length. The only thing that kinda stinks is the huge extender for a headphone jack, but it's manageable. Overall great headphones for the price!

First, the sound on these is very good from many points
of view, but not phenomenal or outstanding.

Secondly, the audio plug I received was of the large turn-table
type, needing an adaptor to fit into a mini-jack used by mp3
players, the walkman, ipod, etc. They are also bulky, heavy ...and
the audio wire extended 2 meters perhaps.

Third, the plastic that is used is fragile. In the grey sections
at the top of the headset, the entire plastic bracket will crack
right off, just because (for example) they were dropped on a carpet
too many times, or over-stretched when placed over the head

Fourth, after 1.5 or 2 hours, the ears get hot, and definitely need a breather, as there's lack of air.

Fifth, the vinyl covering of the cans themselves, in black, are
enormously fragile, and over time (1 or 2 years) seem to dry up,
flake and fall off. Perhaps they need to be moistened but ..since it's
plastic, I don't see how a material not made of leather could benefit
from a lubricant.

Sixth, the sound leekage is too much ...in fast, if listening to
a DJ mix, the other rooms in your apartment or home, will be hearing
your mix from 30 meters away.

I would suggest a different headset ....at the time I though $100
was a lot of money to spent on headsets ...but ... sometimes money
is not the most important factor.
