Behringer HPM1000 Headphones

These headphones sound remarkably good for the money. I recently bought a pair of Sennhauser (spelling?) headphones which while rated significantly higher were much more cheaply made, less comfortable and didn't sound nearly as good. I'm not an audiophile but for most purposes, I think you'll be happy with these especially for a pair of headphones under $30.00.

COMFORT: When I first put on the headphones, they didn't completely seal over my ears because the top part of the ear cushions pressed against the top part of my head above my ear, leaving the bottom open, and unsealed. This didn't really affect the bass in any noticeable way, it was just uncomfortable and let in some of the outside noise. Couldn't wear these for more than about four hours without becoming uncomfortable because of the top part of the ear cushions pressing against my head. The headband is very short, vertically. With the headphones extended all the way below the headband, they were barley big enough to fit on my head. (I don't have a big head, neither a small one, just a normal one.) To fix this I took apart the headphones and pulled the headband strip all the way out of the ear cups, put the ear cups back together, then pushed the the strips back in until they wouldn't go in anymore because of the part that stops them from coming completely out.

I bought 2 sets of these headphones for my portable DVD player when travelling on a plane. They block out the external noises so that you can hear the DVD sound. My only gripe is the 1/4 inch plug that comes with the headphones, requiring the purchase of an adaptor from Radioshack to fit the headphone socket from my DVD player.

It takes about 2 weeks to ship since it's from an outside vendor. The headphone is a bit tight on both ears & it completely covers them, making your ears sweaty after a while. The sound's ok but I couldn't hear a big difference between those & my Sony's. The biggest drawback is that they come w/ a 1/4" stereo plug. That plug doesn't fit on your pc or ipod. You'll need to buy an adapter that converts it to 1/8" stereo mini jack if you want to use it for that purpose. I found one at RadioShack for $3.

I used these headpones last night. I've been a DJ @ a nightclub for 4 years and these are by far the best headphones I've had that were sub $20. They do well at blocking out outside noise as well as great range response in what you hear and it's well capable of boiling your brain from the volume level it's capable of producing!
