What's up to all my fellow EDM producers and lovers.I don't comment on gear often but I will break tradition for this one.
I own and use several brands of headphones. They all have strengths. Sound is relative so I will compare the MH510 with two brands I like and you may have heard. Audio Technica's M50's and the Beyer Dynamic DT 770 Pro.
The AT 50's have very clear high end and the Beyer has hyped low end, the CAD MH510 fall right in the middle.
The clear top end while still handling my low basslines, 808, and 909 frequencies in the mix make my life easier.
I can mix in my heads over night at home and not have to spend time with a bunch of adjustments when I fire up my monitors in the studio. Good tools are everything to a craftsmen. I recommend you give these babys a listen or at this price just take my word and buy them. You want flat response. WYHIWYG. I'm hard on heads. I drop em, park my chair wheel on the cords and just generally need rugged gear. I love what they did with the plug in and twist and lock cord, usually the first thing to go is the cord. Now I can just order one when it happens. They fold up really nicely for transport and are quite durable. That's it. Choose your color. The orange and black are to my liking. Peace

I got my first set of the MH510 headphones a couple of days ago. I was looking for a set of headphones to mix when I couldn't use my monitors, and to listen to my mixes and masters through my iphone at night. I was amazed by the beautifully flat signal when listening to my mixes, and the incredible balance throughout the frequency range. I was able to hear my music at a level of clarity I wasn't able to hear with my expensive near field monitors. In fact, the headphones work so well, I was able to hear mistakes I could not hear through any other audio source.As far as the design is concerned, the isolation of the ear pads is fantastic, and blocks out external audio sources very well. The inside top of the headphones have a nice padded buffer that makes wearing them totally comfortable. The set comes with a 1/4" adapter and two cords...one coiled and one straight, and both are long enough for moving around inside the studio without having to remove them. The cords can be removed from the headphones for easier storage. I was pleasantly surprised to find an extra set of earpads in the box as well. The carrying case is ok, and it's not really meant to protect the headphones aside from dust.
In short, I would expect these headphones to be more in the $400-$500 range. Getting them for under $100 is a steal, and I am going to replace all of my headphones in my studio with the MH510's. From now on, I will mix with my NFM's but will also use the MH510's in my daily mixing routine to help perfect my mixes and masters. Buy them before they're all gone!I do a lot of recording a post production and these headphones are exactly what I needed! They are comfortable and the sound quality is supreme! The bass is so clear and intense. I highly suggest these headphones for any audio professional!My studio gets a lot of traffic, and I was looking to replace my AKG headphones, after listening to the Sessions I could not believe how great they sounded, actually much better than the much more expensive headphones I own, what I like about them is that they give me exactly what I put in, no extra frequencies that will make me want to alter my mix, I find myself going to the headphones to verify mixes now. If you want to save some money and get a major upgrade on your current studio headphones you cannot beat these, and on top of all that they are light and comfortable and I was able to get them in a color that matched my studio. The last thing is that they are very sturdy too, so I can keep these for a long time without replacing them. 5 Stars!!!
I've been searching for some good headphones for a while, although when I started I wasn't sure what type of headphone I was looking for. I had tried the V-MODA Crossfade LP (First gen) because I thought that I needed some super-sturdy military-grade headphones, but the earcups were too small and hurt my ears after extended use and it felt as if it were trying to squeeze my brains out. Then I tried the Audio Technica ATH-ANC7B headphones because a co-worker told me I should look for some good noise cancelling ones, but those had strong interference from RF signals (and they felt kinda cheap). After those two pair I thought maybe I just wasn't a headphone person... And then I got these from Woot.com (a shot in the dark because I couldn't find any reviews that didn't look scripted).
Look/Feel:
Now I'm not some crazy audiophile, but I've fallen in love with these headphones. My ownership has only been a week so far, but I have been using them for nearly 8 hours a day. The earcups on these guys feel like two giant pillows placed on my ears, they're really soft. They do a decent job at noise isolation without applying a ton of pressure around your ears (which with the V-MODA headphones would give me a headache), and they sound awesome. The headphones themselves fold up nicely and fit snugly in the little travel bag that they come with. They earcups are bigger than the other headphones I've tried, but I like that and was what I was looking for.
Sound:
These guys aren't extremely bassy (extremely bassy = a bad thing), like others I've tested, so if you're looking for that you might want to go elsewhere, but I believe they're perfect. I don't feel overwhelmed when listening to bassy music, but they do still have some good kick. These are very good at all sorts of ranges in my opinion (but again, how qualified I am at judging these things is in question).
Sound Leakage:
I had tested this quality by playing some dubstep at max volume on my co-worker test subject and found there to be very little leakage. If I were 3-4 feet from him while listening, I could tell he was listening to music, but I could not make out what he was listening to. I give the test a thumbs-up!
Accessories:
They come with two high-quality rubber-coated cables, a curly one and a straight one, velvetene replacement earcup pads (equipped with leather pads by default), and a travel bag. Oh, and that little converter jack adapter. The bag is nice, not as protective as the V-MODA case or Audio Technica case, but still works for transporting the folded up headphones nicely. The cables work well, and having an interchangeable design is awesome because you can get any 3.5mm audio cable and use it with the headphones (as long as it fits in the slot). Currently I use a V-MODA audio cable with mine.
I feel as if I got lucky finding these headphones because they have everything I was looking for:
-Comfortable
-Sound great
-Fold up for travel
-Interchangeable audio cable
I use these things for Pandora streaming and PC Gaming mostly.
