Comments about Audio-Technica ATH-PRO5MK2CM Stereo Headphones:

I've been djing with these since I've got them pretty much on a weekly/plus basis for 10 years and occasional home listening. These headphones have lived up to the quality of Audio-Technica. I've had these for over 10 years and they still sound strong. There are no stress cracks, breaks or parts that have fallen off. After 8 years the vinyl headband has cracked a bit, the leather around the ear cup did peel and the cushioning is a little less fluffy but they are still a pleasure to wear. The sound reproduction is still as accurate as I remember. The non foldable design has made it last this long packing it into my gig bag and the cord is tough. I may want to replace the ear cups with memory foam but that is about it. Plus the price is unbeatable out there. Just get some.I might get another pair before they decide to discontinue them and for the new headphone smell.

The PRO5MK2's are fun headphones. That's why I purchased them. I have my audiophile grade audiotechnica headphones for relaxing at home, but these were for being out in the streets.

The bass is wonderful, very powerful. Perhaps even rivaling the M50's, but surely not the PRO700's. This could be attributed to it's tight tight seal. This seal combined with the closed backs makes the passive noise cancellation also noteworthy. Don't let the full bass scare you off though, Compared to the M50's and other DJ headphones they are definitely monitoring headphones and portray everything very accurately, nothing is terribly overstate and everything is as clear as closed back, circumaural headphones will allow.

They're really comfortable and the camo ones are quite attractive. However, there is a silver ring where the c joint meets the actual headphone that I never saw in any publicity photos.

If you're looking for your first audiophile quality DJ phones, get the M50's which are a bit more expensive� but if you're looking for some smaller fun and great looking DJ cans to go out with, these are great.
