Numark HF125 Dj Headphones Review
Where you can find a good review for this headphones. I read really much review about this, and i don't know what i need to say you... These headphones in this price category, for all that it read, but also to the fact that I had a chance to use them, definitely is into the category above 3 on a scale of 5.
Here's a few reasons why: Pros - Price point allows you to buy several extra pairs - Simple design (not cumbersome like most DJ headphones) - Lightweight - No Swivel (personal preference) - Does not go over ear (personal preference) Cons - Not comfortable enough to wear for leisure, but that may be because I have a large head. - Cups will sometimes detach, but they snap right back in. - Doesn't collapse for easier transport In several reviews I found some interesting facts: "I have a small head (adult small/x-small) and these feel too tight, after about 20 minutes using I have to take them off to relieve the pressure. Even with them being tight, I plugged them into my amp and began to jam on my guitar and any movement more than a simple head nod made the headband flip on top of my face. The only thing I like about these are that it has the cord coming from one side vice both." by EQ "First of i was skeptical on buying but once i got the prouduct and plugged it up i loved it and im a stickler for quality sound because i opperate a mixing board in my chuch and just started to dj and im no expert dj but the sound quality is super." by A MACK These headphones are suitable especially for those users who have a low budget. "I got these headphones because I was starting to DJ and I was learning and didn't want to blow hundreds of dollars on expensive headphones. I want to say you get what you pay for but these headphones are pretty decent. They are a bit tight on my head and the sounds sometimes goes out and i have to jiggle the plug a little bit. At first i though it was my controller but its the headphones because i tried different headphones in my controller. I would recommend these because they are cheap and go for someone starting out for the first couple of years." by Dmitriy Zakharchenko The following is the most important thing for me. For me one of the best review, is review written in 2008 on the site urban75.org. What is it you can read below. Numark HF-125 Dual-Cup DJ Headphones For DJs on an crab's-arse tight budget and home users looking for a cheap and cheerful set of headphones (or 'cans' as us aficionados like to call them), the Numark HF-125 Dual-Cup DJ Headphones seem to offer pretty remarkable value for money. Finished in a modern, two tone silver and black finish, the HF-125s feature a padded headband with 7-position height adjustment each side with the ear cups having soft cushioned surrounds. Lurking inside the ear cups are 40mm Mylar speaker drivers, protected by a thin black material. With the left cable running through the headband, the 2m lead attaches at just the right ear cup which can certainly help banish those embarrassing moments behind the deck when you find yourself being half strangled by a tangled headphone lead (the problems can be compounded if you've got dreads and had a few ales too!). The headphones were reasonably comfortable to wear, but with that sweaty vinyl covering the ear cups, we wouldn't fancy having them on our noggins for more than an hour or so at a time. The lead terminates in a 1/4" connector, which may prove a pain for people using devices like the iPod which comes with the smaller (and very popular) 3.5mm headphone jacks. The headphones are made of fairly tough-looking plastic and managed to survive our early test of a weekend's work at the Offline Club in London. Sound quality Priced at a bargain basement £10 or so, we weren't expecting to be entering a sonic wonderland with the Numarks, but the headphones did provide a fairly impressive soundstage for the price. The bass was loud'n'proud in an exaggerated but not unpleasant manner although the midrange certainly suffered a little cloudiness. The sharp treble response quickly informed us that these headphones would not go down well with the Klassikal Krew (Word up the Albert Hall Massive!) but we very much doubt that's who they're aimed at. What these headphones do provide is a loud (important for DJs) and straightforward package that offers a commendable mix of value for money and robustness in a cheap-as-chips package. Serious musicians, DJs and music connoisseurs are advised to look elsewhere (we recommend the Grado S60 headphones for home users), but as a pair of 'knock about', workaday headphones, the Numarks are certainly worth considering. Our verdict Comfort: 60% Build: 65% Sound quality: 60% Value for money: 85% Overall: 686% review source: Urban75 |
