Stanton DJ Pro 3000 Headphones

As you know, it’s impossible to mix without a headphone and according to Stanton, this pair will do a great job.

But what do you have to consider when buying new headphones?

1. Design
2. Durability
3. Comfort
4. Quality
5. Price

4 out of 5 was almost perfect, when we tested the Stanton DJ Pro 3000 Headphones.

Very nice design, wide and padded head rest, big, soft and spring loaded ear cups (it allows you the easy one-ear usage), so what else would you need?! Maybe the passive high and low pass filters, the detachable cord or the LEDs on the ear cup that blink in beat with the music? You will get all of them if you buy these headphones.

DJ Pro 3000 has a very tight construction, its materials surely won’t fail under normal use.

You won’t have any problem with ear fatiguing since it is very comfortable. (Wide frequency response at 16 – 22 kHz is held by the 50mm drivers.) There is a very useful 9 foot plus cord with it what you can twist and turn digging in the crates for the next mix.

The best example for high-quality, purpose-made headphones are from Hollywood Florida's Stanton Magnetics, the Stanton DJ Pro 3000 Headphones are right there. Of course, they are not the cheapest headphones but if you’re lucky enough, you can find them on the net for around $130.

Don’t forget that the DJ Pro 3000 headphones are made for professional DJ use and not for kids who like listening to music at home. Despite this they may not be used in a professional studio because these are really made for avarage users for cueing, monitoring, and beat-matching the next track of their prime-time, houserocking set.

A lot of people believe their eyes or ears! The pretty design, the precise fit of the parts or the cool color are absolutely enough for them when they buy a new equipment. But in this case, I think, we need more, don’t we?

And fortunately you’ll get more if you buy these headphones. Besides the very nice design, they offer acoustically perfect performance and full 16 Hz – 22 kHz frequency response without artificial bass boost.

And don’t forget about the more natural sound which helps to reduce ear stress and fatigue ... particularly in the wee small hours of the morning.

You can use 3000 mW of power which means you can drive them as hard as possible without fuzzing out. Of course, it is not really recommended to use them at high sound pressure levels, because on the one hand, the lack of distortion is misleading, on the other hand, your ears will give out long before the headphones do.

These headphones really do a good job of settling ambient sound levels, even in the noisiest booths. It’s very useful to have headphones what protect your ears for those situations when you work in loud venues.

When you do a mobile gig, you probably don’t set up a dedicated amplifier and speaker for a booth mix. In these situations you can do all of your cueing via headphones. I can say, the DJ Pro 3000 headphones are perfect for these situations.

Stanton DJ Pro 3000 Headphones The Stanton DJ Pro 3000 Headphones are the newest addition to Stanton's line of high-quality stereo headphones. With the same great features as previous Stanton headphones plus a few new additions, the DJ Pro 3000 definitely is in a class of its own. With swivel and folding capabilities, the Stanton DJ Pro 3000 also includes high pass and low pass filters, detachable cord, and cool blue LEDS. With this array of features, its sexy new look, and an affordable price, it is destined to rise to stardom in the DJ world.

To tell the truth, Stanton DJ equipment is sometimes, unfortunately, a little overpriced. It’s a general rule not to spend more than $100 when buying a not studio grade headphone. However, expect the Stanton DJ Pro 3000 to live up to the hype and be worth the money!
