I have been involved in amateur music production for 4 years, specifically EDM. For all these years, I had the Beats EP headphones and finally decided to get proper headphones that are intended for the purpose I want. I got the 32ohm version because I don't have an external sound card/amplifier.

I was torn between the following options:
audio technica m50x,
beyerdynamics 990 pro (which I eventually realized are more suitable for mastering),
Sony MDR-7506.

Based on the comparisons on rtings.com (a very helpful site where you can compare headphones side by side in terms of bass, mid, treble accuracy, and soundstage), I made my decision.

The first album I listened to was "Hi im flume" because besides being my favorite electronic experimental album, I believe it has many different sounds, from deep subs to wide synths, and even powerful snares and crazy kicks. It felt like I was listening to the album for the first time.

What truly stands out from the very beginning is the stereo and frequency separation. Everything has its own space without overlapping, and at the same time, everything harmonizes as one.

Another point that confirmed their excellent soundstage is gaming. I played an FPS game and could clearly hear the enemy's location and where they were coming from.

Compared to my old headphones, there is a noticeable difference in the bass. I can hear it deeper and clearer. I was afraid it would be flat and possibly lacking, but on the contrary, the bass is stronger and deeper than the Beats, which, to be honest, I find somewhat exaggerated, and I will need to get used to it according to my taste. However, it doesn't mean that the mids and highs are overshadowed.

They have a sturdy construction and a thick cable.

They isolate external sounds very well.

As for comfort - as someone who wears prescription glasses, they don't help much, just like any other over/on-ear headphones I have worn. After about an hour and a half, I feel that my ears are getting warm, and the headphone pads have sweat a little. When I take them off, I feel some relief.

Overall, I am extremely happy and satisfied with my purchase and I believe it is worth it. I hope they last me for many years.

I have had it for a month. Overall, it's very good, but I don't have experience with other scooters to compare it to.

I weigh 60 kilograms (I don't know if the weight of the rider makes a difference in battery life, but I mention it) and I use it to commute to work, which is an easy route - maybe a short ride as well.

It is a bit heavy, but it's understandable since it is sturdy and well-built - so you get a little workout for your arms if you need to carry it upstairs without an elevator. However, it folds up perfectly for transportation.

The battery does indeed last for 30 kilometers (in eco mode), but the "strange" thing is that the battery indicator on the screen only has 5 bars. Once it reached the last bar, it started to slow down on its own until it completely stopped. Luckily, I was close to home. So, when it reaches 2 bars, you should know that it will soon need to be charged.

It charges in a maximum of 5 to 6 hours.

If you don't have it in eco mode, which reaches up to 16 kilometers and maintains a steady speed, but instead have it in speed mode, which has a top speed of 25 kilometers, the battery drains a little faster and it covers slightly less than 30 kilometers.

The brakes are good. I haven't adjusted them, but I've heard that you can adjust them like you would on a bicycle if you don't like them. Generally, they work better if you press-release-press-release, but the scooter will never come to a sudden stop.

The suspension is quite stiff, so you feel all the vibrations on the road - I don't even dare to try it on bumpy sidewalks - on the road, it obviously has no issues, but I avoid potholes or reduce speed - I assume it will gradually soften over time.

It has very nice lights at night!

If anything changes, I will come back to update

SUMMARY: WORTH IT. HOWEVER, READ THE UPDATE I HAVE WRITTEN BELOW.

My first controller, so I don't have anything to compare it to. I've had it for a month and I really like it. The knobs and sliders have a good grip. The central crossfade is a bit "light" and sometimes I accidentally move it while playing with the other buttons. I've put some tape on it to keep it in place lol... and since I only mix with the volumes, I don't really need it (for now).

I use it with a MacBook Air M1 and Serato Lite. I think it's really good for its price and features. You can change the effects it has, so I feel like it doesn't limit you at all. The key is for you to be creative. Because it's not just about the kitchen, but also the chef ;-)

The jog wheel works as a CD and vinyl (you can even scratch), depending on how much force you apply, it's just what you need... (I heard that the older model couldn't do that).

I play alone at home to practice, but I've also played at house parties and it's just the right size. I usually connect it to a portable speaker.

I highly recommend it. We'll see how long it lasts... I hope for a long time because it really seems like a trustworthy choice.

UPDATE December 19, 2022 - 8 months later - the console's output only produces sound from the left channel. No matter what cable I use or what speaker I connect, only the left speaker is heard. I've checked the settings of Serato and tried it with Virtual DJ, but I don't see any change. Did the sound card get damaged?

So, I've had to set the output to come from the laptop's speakers and then connect my speakers to the laptop instead of directly to the console. However, this causes some ms delay between what I hear in the headphones and what comes out of the computer. Let's hope the headphones' output doesn't get affected because unfortunately, it will become useless then
