MAONO 50MM Drivers Studio Headphones AU-MH601 Over Ear Stereo Monitor Closed Back Headphones for Music, DJ, Podcast (Black)

Good clean sound and comfortable to wear

For a budget pair of studio monitor headphones, these are exceptional. The soundstage is close to neutral and there is zero line noise. I can hear every detail as I record and edit the audio for my videos. They even look good! Haha.As I've said in the past, I'm no audiophile. I've just got regular ears that enjoy music....So here's a review from a regular eared person.I have another set of over-ear monitors (ATH-M40X) that are double the price. I've had them since 2015 and they're still going strong. Honestly after five years of using those and a week of using these...There isn't that big of a difference! Strange as it sounds, these are very close in audio quality. I'd say the M40X is a bit more neutral, but these are not far off.Pros1. Neutral - not a huge amount of added bass, treble, mids, highs, lows, whatever. Almost FLAT. Highs are a bit more pronounced than with the M40X, but that could also be because these carry 50mm drivers as opposed to the 40mm drivers on the M40X.2. 50mm drivers - huge, clean sound. Nothing was muddy at any volume.3. Comfort - lightweight and very well padded. They fit my giant head without causing pressure, even after several hours of use at a time.4. Connections - 3.5mm OR 6.35mm connections.5. Cable - this twisted cable. It's SHORT, too, so no extra cable dangling on the floor or bundled up on the desk. Perfect for small studio spaces where everything is right at hand.Predominantly, I will be using these in recording and editing voices for my videos. For that scenario, these are fantastic. Lots of detail. MOANO just does a great job with budget studio equipment.I've also used these to listen to some music - ran them through my usual series of headphone testing songs. Everything sounded fantastic. I connected these to my phone with Hi-Fi DAC, to my laptop with Hi-Fi DAC, to my Hi-Res MP3 player/DAC, and to my home stereo system. The sound remains just about the same no matter how I'm connected or what I'm connected to. The LG V60 is powerful enough to run these! Seriously, nothing sounded off or weird. All genre of music sounded exactly the way the artists intended.These studio monitors are really an exceptional buy. My only complaint is that the cups don't rotate like on the M40X. Not that big of a deal, though. I really like these.

The headphones some in very nice packaging and have instructions as well. The cord and headphones can be separated too, which is incredibly useful in avoiding damage during transport! The design is useful in the fact that not only does it have an ear jack that connects to either side of the headphone, there's two sizes in the case that a larger jack is needed. It doesn't come with the ability to chance the size eith the sliders on each size if they are too big or small, and the sliders have yet to create any sort of situation in which I would have to resize it again. The fit is very comfortable, especially for lomg periods of use. The audio is clear and crisp, allowing for full immersion when they are on. All in all the headphones function as they should and possibly even better than other expensive headphones. I'd say they are incredibly good for the price!

Sometimes the audio just stops, but it can be fixed by either spinning it around or by connecting it to a different AUX. For reference, I also use the PD200X Plus, a microphone also made by Maono. The audio quality is very good, and the headphones are very comfortable.

When I purchased these headphones to quietly practice guitar, I never knew how much I'd end up enjoying these headphones for any application. They provide good, neutral sound quality for lower price than expected, offer good ear and head comfort for long spans of use time, and have great room for many applications due to their sleek look and ease of use.A couple issues I've run into would be cable slipping from the female audio jack in the headphones, and the earmuffs are breaking down and flaking. These problems could be attributed to age, but it is an indication to the expected lifetime.Overall, I'm very pleased with these studio headphones. They come with quality sound and excellent sound stage and clarity for a cheap price, which is the main reason I purchased in the first place. Good job Maono!

If you're on the fence about these, just buy them. Worst case you have to return them if your ears are that sophisticated. As far as I'm concerned, they do everything I hoped they would at a great price! Nice clarity and a wide range of frequencies. I can't compare them to other headphones because I don't buy many but, for my application they work better than I expected at the price!

I mean they’re nice. Got the to stream on PS5 with G1 Neo but, they broke after 2 days in an odd spot.

This product came with a bad cable. I tried using another one at it work and sounds great. Nevertheless, I still wanted the original cable since it is long and better for podcasting. I contacted Maono customer service. Alicia not only listen; but also replied fast and helped me right away. All I can say is that I will be using Maono has my main product and will recommend this product to anyone I meet.
