Product Description
Allen & Heath's name is synonymous with premium mixers, but with the Xone:XD-40 they have applied their sound know-how to headphones. The Xone:XD-40s offer excellent audio fidelity in a comfortable, lightweight and compact format. The closed cup design provides good isolation from ambient noise, and minimal bleed. The extended, punchy bottom end is complemented by a crisp and detailed mid and upper range. They are light and well padded, making them more comfortable and less fatiguing for extended use.

I read great things about these online so I figured they were worth a go. I was, however, severely disappointing. The sound quality on these is pretty average: I think they're a little lacking in the mid range and high bass and when I try to EQ these up a little the headphones crackle. They are also too big for me. I have an medium size head (according to bike helmets) and these hang a little too low on my ears even when they are the tightest possible configuration. Also they are dreadfully uncomfortable on my ear. They are also terrible for studio monitoring.For DJ gigs they're great. They're light and since they're on and off my ears I don't have any fatigue from wearing them.I bought these as a sort of do all headphone and was disappointed. I would say buy them for DJing headphones, otherwise pass and get something else.

This are the best headphones I've ever used for DJn. Super light but strong enough to handle me throwing them in my bag when I'm late to my next club. Very loud and very crisp as well. The lower frequencies are also sharp and clean. I own a pair of beats by dre for personal use and these are, in my opinion, BETTER....

Don't listen to the negative review, I personally got these for DJ use. That is the key when reviewing this product, it's meant for a specific output purpose (DJ). Allen & Heath have always offered quality Products but at a price range usually out of reach for the average consumer. I got these on Sale for $29 on Amazon and am loving the sound these things dish out. They are pretty neutral on the highs and Mids, the lows are bumped up a bit, but not too much to where they are distorting or affecting the sound in any way. For DJ use, they are perfect because they isolate the outside sound pretty darn well! and they are extremely light, compact, foldable, and pretty sturdy, they are built with quality components. They do not feel like your cheap plastic that other cans come with. They are extremely comfortable, after a while you forget that you have them on, so listening for hours without hurting your ears or feeling too tight is a plus. I am also using these for everyday A/V playback and even found them useful for music production. Make no mistake, no headphone is recommended for Mix-downs or Mastering of music projects, so these aren't the greatest sounding cans made, but they do give a rich, full sound. So for hi-fi playback they are great!
