Review: Great beginner set of studio heaphones (Can't go wrong for the price) - I bought these headphones about 9 months ago, not knowing much about the brand or quality. I got them in the mail and immediately took them on a trip to Puerto Rico. To my surprise, they sounded really good for a $20 set of studio cans. The highs were all present, as were the mids, and the lows were surprisingly punchy and clean (though they can lack sometimes). There were never any times that I felt that any of the frequencies were fighting for space. It has a very well balanced sound. The build of the headphones when you first pick them up feels cheap, but what do you expect from a set of headphones in this price bracket. There is exposed wiring to both earphones but I have never had to worry about snagging them on anything. As for the headphone cable, it is EXTREMELY long. I wish that instead of it having a straight cable, it would have a coiled cable, as that would make it feel less bulky and make it shorter and more maneuverable (I have rolled over the cable many times while working at my desk). As for comfort, these headphones get the job done. I would have liked to see a softer, more plush pleather instead of the hard stuff that is already on it. These headphones are still relatively comfortable. Due to the design, your ears will start to warm up after about and hour or two of intensive listening. The clamp pressure of them when they are on my head is actually quite nice (I have a large head). Also, a positive to the harder leather material is that it adds to the durability of the phones. After 9 months of intensive use in the studio and even outdoors, the ear cups only have a few scratches and dents and the head band padding is a bit loose, but still does the job. Over all, these are sill going strong. Sometimes I get a bit of weird static or stereo separation, but other than that, they are still getting work done. I would highly recommend these as a cheap but good pair of beginner studio headphones.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Are these good for Mixing/Mastering?**
A: mx2 is great for mixing and mastering. I am quite satisfied with the clarity and bass response. After I listen on speakers I verify with the headphones. Also sometimes I dial in first with the headphones and mix with speakers

**Q: Are these as comfortable as a bose headphone?**
A: Ok; Bose is HiFi audio. Tascam is PRO audio. Different kind of work / Different target of audio / sound. Absolutely not comparable. those are excellent brands but they are designed for different purposes.

**Q: How do they sound through a laptop's 3.5mm jack  without a headphone amp?i listen to classical and jazz music.**
A: Contra the first answer in this thread, you don't need to buy an adaptor to plug these headphones into a laptop. You just need to unscrew the the 1/4" connector which will reveal a 3.5mm connector underneath.

But it isn't exactly obvious at first. They should make it clearer in the listing.

**Q: Are these good for binaural beats and frequency therapy?**
A: They will get you by, but don't expect to do any High-End Mixing and Mastering, these offer a Frequency Range of about 18Hz to 22KHz, Realistically you need to get a wider range of sound like 15Hz to 22KHz for beat making and mastering. Nevertheless, it depends on the quality of your "DAW" and other equipment, if those are High-End then these will work just fine for mixing and mastering and just about any other listening pleasure.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great beginner set of studio heaphones (Can't go wrong for the price)

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Quality in price
*by E***S on September 12, 2025*

Very nice quality and sound

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ All in all, I'm delighted. What a great value & more importantly they deliver clear, flat sound that is perfect for the studio.
*by C***E on September 2, 2015*

In a studio headphone, I need a something that delivers flat sound that isn't colored by the headphone. For this purpose, providing good clean sound in the studio, these are wonderful. They fit snugly over my ears without clamping down on my earlobes the way some other headphones do. I haven't put them through any formal testing, but based on my experience with them I think it's safe to report that they don't leak sound. They come with both 1/8th and 1/4 inch plugs which I've found to be pretty handy. I use the 1/8 plug when I need to monitor to the camera and use the 1/4 jack when I monitor the mixer. They'd still be a tremendous value at twice the price. At the price they're selling for here, they're a steal. That said, it's important that you recognize what you're purchasing when you buy these headphones. These are value priced headphones, that perform well beyond expectations. They are also studio headphones, and they deliver a wonderfully flat sound that won't and shouldn't compare with some sound enhanced pair of phones. All in all, I'm delighted. Thanks Joe (Creatively.Me)
