    personalize your review: to start off these are THE BEST headphones i have EVER heard.
    amazing for production and DJing
    Sound: 10/10. im a headphone nut, im very active on head-fi (headphone forum) and the frequency response on these is AMAZING. The bass is deep and responsive, but not overbearing. its great for ALL kinds of music. highs are nice and crisp, mids are clear, bass is accurate. best sound ive heard ever. period.
    Sound Isolation: Great. they're closed back so once you put them on you can't really hear the outside world very well and what i like the best is the outside world cant hear you, even at super high volumes
    Durability: also amazing. ive dropped these from an upwards of 5 feet off a countertop on a hard tile floor at least 6 times and they still work great.
    Comfort: this is where they lack a bit. they're really comfortable at first, but they're slightly heavy so after about an hour and a half they start to weigh down on the top fo your head and it hurts a bit so you have to reposition them a lot.
    Size: a bit big, but they're not too big.
    Would I buy this again if it broke?: yes one hundred percent.
    Overall value: amazing. at 150, (200 with a 2 year anything is covered warranty which i highly suggest) these are the best headphones for the price and the NUMBER ONE reccomend headphones for DJing and production by the Head-Fi headphone community

    Allen & Heath XD-53



    Specs:
    • Driver Unit Type: 53mm

    • Frequency Response: 5 – 33,000 Hz

    • Impedance: 36 ohms

    • Sensitivity: 105 dB/mW


    Sound: 5/5 Maybe a tad heavy on the bass, but overall they sound great.

    Sound Isolation: 5/5 I can't hear anything outside of the headphones when these are on my head.

    Durability: 4/5 They feel solid. These would get a 5/5 if they came with a removable headphone cable, and fortunately they've been updated with just that as the xd2-53.

    Comfort: 5/5 I hardly notice when they're on my head. They can easily be worn for 2+ hours at a time.

    Size: 5/5 They look big to me, but that's coming from hd-25s. When you compare them to most of the other dj headphones they look just fine.

    Would I buy this again if it broke? Yes! Since A&H is known for their awesome build quality I don't see them breaking anytime soon, but if they got run over by a bus or something I'd definitely pick them up again. Also, with the xd2-53s just being announced, there's even less to be worried about. They now come with a removable headphone cable and a sexy chrome paintjob.

    Overall value: 5/5 Definitely worth every penny.

    Xone XD-40

    Specs:
    Type: Closed-back Dynamic (circumaural isolation design)
    Driver Diameter: 40mm
    Magnet: Neodymium
    Frequency response: 15Hz - 28kHz
    Maximum Input Power: 1300 mW
    Sensitivity: 103dB/mW at 1kHz

    Sound: 5/5 The highs are bright and crisp. GREAT sound.

    Sound Isolation: 4/5 These are on the ear not over the ear so some sound will get in but not a lot unless the music around you is LOUD.

    Durability: 5/5 These feel way more solid than the Sony 700's I had before, these feel like quality.

    Comfort: 5/5 Super comfortable! Can be worn for a very long time with out strain.

    Size: 4/5 They feel a bit small but again these are ON THE ear not OVER.

    Would I buy this again if it broke? Yes. Also, I would upgrade mine to the 53 - the 40's are great but I would spend the extra to get the step up, for sure!

    Overall value: 5/5 Worth every cent.
