Headphones

I recently got a pair of Tech­nics RP-DJ1200 head­phones. When work­ing in dif­fer­ent envi­ron­ments with or with­out peo­ple around you, a set of good head­phones is essen­tial. I wanted a set of rugged, com­fort­able, easy-to-carry-around head­phones with good sound and ide­ally a good padding, keep­ing my beats in and office noise out. And these does that job pretty damn well. They’re made for DJ use so they do a great job of keep­ing sound out. And while the hi-fi crowd prob­a­bly would’nt clap their hands, the sound qual­ity is nice with good depth to the bass — and they can play incred­i­bly loud.

They’re com­fort­able, hav­ing them on a full day won’t hurt your head and as they’re made for mon­i­tor­ing your next track while cut­ting it up, the cups can be twisted in both direc­tions which is actu­ally quite prac­ti­cal when you don’t want to be com­pletely out of reach but still want to have your iTunes col­lec­tion run­ning. It also lets you fold them up so they’re easy to carry. They come with a fake-leather purse which isn’t exactly a turn-on but it does the job, I guess. Only real down­side: They’ve decided not only to make the logo huge — but also purple…WTF?

(This entry is the first in the Stuff cat­e­gory, a cat­e­gory I’ve wanted to do for some time as all these things we use every day actu­ally mean some­thing, although I some­how would like them not to… This some­what relates to a sim­i­lar thought at dalager’s on con­sumer infor­ma­tion.)
