Do you need “studio headphones”? Find out by taking this simple quiz:
-
Do you think “studio headphones” are something you can find at Best Buy?
-
Will you be using these headphones with Bluetooth audio?
-
Have you ever considered buying Beats headphones, even for a second?
If you answered “yes” to any of the above questions, congratulations! You are not a professional music producer, recording engineer, or DJ. You don’t need “studio headphones”. And you especially don’t need to pay extra for a pair of regular old headphones with a phony “studio headphones” label.
Real talk: “studio headphones” now just means “overpriced headphones with a plastic band that’s all black and red and curvy and shit”. They have no more place in a professional recording studio than they do in a blacksmith’s forge.
If you insist on “studio headphones”, you might as well buy them cheap. This pair checks off all the boxes, from the aforementioned band to the ear pads made of “PU leather” (PU stands for “polyurethane” (so, not real leather) (also, note to polyurethane industry: find a better acronym)). The ear pads are a little on the little side, maybe. But those are all just matters of style. Down in them guts, these are just regular old half-decent Bluetooth headphones.
So today you can buy them for regular old headphone prices. Granted, that won’t give you quite the same rush as paying way, way too much for them. If you want to play pretend record mogul, there are plenty of other places where you can go throw your money away.
On the other hand, if you answered “no” to all of the above questions and you are a professional music producer, let us know where we should send you a copy of our demo. It’s like MIA meets Chocolate Starfish-era Limp Bizkit on a Jane’s Addiction tip, with a little bit of James Brown thrown in there, only funkier. Please, serious industry requests only. You really need studio headphones to appreciate our sound.
