Price: $239.99
Rating: Average - 6.75/10
Pros: Comfortable earpieces with independent left and right volume controls. Extra cords, ear cups, audio jack adaptors, and more are included.

Overall: For the price you are getting a great product package but we experience sub-par sound quality from some sources but did appreciate the noise reduction and comfort.

Design - 7 - A very comfortable headphone which is extremely important regardless of if you are listening to music at home, or working as a DJ. The colors are simple and the soft earpieces feel great on the ears. Not only are the ear pieces comfortable but the fit on your head is unlike any I’ve felt. A tight grip allows you to rock out right along with the music. These headphones are also designed to protect your hearing. With a built in Natural surround sound system you are getting a 40% lower db output all the while not losing the same loud rockin attitude.

Performance - 6 -  At first I was amazed with how great the headphones sounded. Like a symphony in my head I was excited to hear the next song. During a party I DJ’ed they worked great but on a separate mixer the sound was a little weaker. I’ve used other headphones and these have an excellent sound coming out of them. The fact that you can adjust the sound to either ear is a definite advantage to some. Overall I was disappointed in the lack of consistency between mixers I plugged the headphones into (my Sony 700’s had the same output each time).

Features - 7.5 -  These headphones are durable and just in case your about as wild with your equipment as you are with your parties do not fear. UltraSone has provided you with extra ear pieces as well as coiled cord. Not a DJ, not a problem with a 3.5 mm mini-phone stereo you can enjoy these headphones no matter where you are. So plug them into your mp3 player or into your laptop. Either way your looking ultra stylish in UltraSones DJ1 Pro Headphones.
