This review is from: Numark RED WAVE Clean, powerful and comfortable headphones. (Electronics)
I've read countless reviews on every top DJ headphone out there from the iconic Sony MDR-V700DJ to the A & H Zone:XD-53's and everything else in between, and I've decided to give Numark a try. My gamble was worth it: these headphones are some of the best all around cans out there for an incredible price!
PROS:
Build: solid build, metal adjustable bands, and VERY solid multi-pivot points. Read any forum on Sony and Pioneer headphones and a majority of the users complain that the pivots break or crack. I find that unacceptable for anything you buy, especially when you are investing $100+ for it. The Red Waves have VERY SOLID pivots with minimal fasteners (that is key to breakage) and feel like they will hold up even to the most rigorous use.
Sound: I think most DJ's appreciate a full sounding set of cans over a bass hog. Yeah, bass in tha face is always cool, but after a while it can get annoying. I've tested all kinds of cans and I prefer a...Read more

I was shopping around for a pair, looking to spend under 100 dollars. I found these, and kept them close in mind while shopping, due to the low average price and the all around stellar reviews. One day, I happened to pop on to amazon, and they had randomly dropped to 55 dollars. DONE. SOLD. I purchased them on the spot.
They arrived quickly (4 or 5 days from time of ordering), and I have to say, they have lived up to the reviews as much as I could've possibly hoped for. These are definitely some of the best headphones I've ever used, hands down.
The build quality is top notch. Sturdy and solid, but not bulky or too heavy. The ear pads are definitely some of the most comfortable I've worn. The padding on the underside of the top band also makes wearing them for extended periods of time a breeze. I also like the fact that they fold in on themselves, making them very compact and easy to store in the included carrying bag (which is made of some very high quality...Read more

I wouldve given this a 4 1/2 if I could.
The comfort on these are top notch. I have worn them for 3 hours with little issue besides getting a little sweaty. They are flexible comfortable, but still sturdy.
Theirs alot of low end coming through so your going to have to tweak your EQ if you dont like that much bass, however, its there if you need it.
The price point is amazing, somehow Amazon has these for 81 bucks when everyone else is 100. These definately stand up against 100, or some 150 dollar headphones ive listened to.
The look is also great, these just look cool, they are bigger then expected, and stand out in a crowd (which is what you want when spinning at a club)
The high end can start clipping a little at high volume which is the only complaint I have, but thats when I was pushing them. However this problem was so minute that I only gave it a 4 out of 5, and like I said, would give it a 4 1/2
Bottom Line,...Read more
