Gemini Sound DJX-1000: Professional DJ Headphones

This was bought for sensory integration to help with anxiety. Requirements were good sound quality that an amp wouldn't blow and noise canceling. it failed both tests. even though the website put them so highly it was just garbage sound quality. A pretty much blown Razer Kraken had better sound quality.

Although I've had better quality headphones when it comes to the sound performance, these are very comfortable to wear. It wouldn't bother me to sit and use these all day long. I also appreciate the jack adaptor that you can change between 1/8” and 1/4” audio jacks. I normally use headphones with my PC using the 1/8" audio jack so it's nice to also have the capability to switch to the 1/4" for my stereo equipment. (Not being an audio professional, it did take me a few minutes to realize that the 1/4" was an adaptor that was screwed over the 1/8" jack). While there is nothing wrong with the sound quality, some of my other headphones outperform these. I have no complaints with the headphones, and they will suit my needs well.

I mainly got these for use in my home studio. I am no professional in that regard, but I like to record some music and voice overs from time to time. In using these headphones directly connected to my keyboard, the sound was very good with no adjustments. The balance was good from top to bottom on the full 88 keys.The main part that surprised me was using them to listen to cd quality music. At first I thought the highs were a little too sharp and fatiguing on the ears and I had a hard to hearing a strong bass. I even threw on some Bass 305 tunes and was not all that impressed. However, after I made some adjustments with the equalizer and turned up the volume a little (had to turn the highs way down) I was pleasantly surprised to hear those bass drivers kick in fairly decently. Are they high end? No. But they'll get the job done for my hobby.The fit is nice as well. I thought it felt tight - and it is so that outside noises are blocked. But the cushioning is better than I expected at first glance and I am able to wear them for quite a while without annoyance or pain from the tight fit.All in all, I was prepared to give a 4 but changed my mind once I heard the bass kick in. Not bad for the price at all.
