Audio-technica ATH-PRO5X, Black

The Audio-Technica ATH-PRO5X headphones are designed specifically for DJs and recording studios. This is reflected in their lightweight construction with a durable metal headband, comfortable ear pads and flip-up ear cups. For balanced, distortion-free sound even at high volumes, they are fitted with 40mm drivers with a power handling capacity of up to 1500 mW. Two high-quality cables, one of which is coiled, are detachable. Even at high volumes, the headphones do not lose their punch or degrade the sound with excessive distortion.

Good design is the foundation

Headphones in this category are put on and taken off many times an hour, and their design must be able to cope with this. When using the PRO5X, you can be sure that the headphones are built to withstand this sort of handling. The metal headband is practically indestructible, and the ear cups tilt smoothly without any issues , whilst the plastic components are robust throughout and show no tendency to creak. Naturally, the headphones also feature a detachable cable with a locking mechanism and a coiled design to prevent it from being pulled out.
