I be into quality , and that be what you will get from these Technics headphone . I be not a DJ , but I know these headphone work great for home listening . the volume can be turn up without any distortion at all . you may even want to record you mp3 at higher bitrate because you will be able to hear the difference between 128 and 256 . the headphone be very well design and comfortable . I find it hard to stop listen to they because I like they so much . the coil cord stay out of the way . these headphone may be a little too bulky to wear walk down the street , but they be well worth they price . they also block out many ouside noise and other people in the room can not hear the music you play at normal level . this product will truly provide a new listen experience .
