American Audio Hp550 Green Foldable Professional Headphones

Great sound and over all product. The price is out of this world! I have had $300 headphones that have not outlasted these.

Terrible. Cheap plastic and sound quality sucks. I can’t use them to dj at all.

These have have good sound/bass for the price, however, I had a pair for less than a month(I have Thursday and Saturday standing gigs) and they snapped at the pivot point. I sent them back to american audio because I couldnt believe how quick they broke. American Audio sent me a new identical pair....Those snapped about 3 months later.So all in all they sound great for the price...but in my experience the build quality SUCKS! (switched to the Pioneer HDJ500's and love them)Rob

Pros:They look cool, they feel good, the price is good, they feel like they're built well.Cons:Sound is NOT good.If you like a lot of bass, you'll love these. If you're like me and want defined high end, these just lack that.For reference, what I've been using before is a set of Sony MDR-7506 headphones, which I love. obviously there's a gap in price between these two, but with the reviews and ratings these had I figured they were worth the shot.I kept them to use for DJ jobs where the audio quality isn't a huge deal, just need to be able to hear. I've also used them in the studio for quick reference to do tracking...but If I'm going to spend any longer amount of time with a headset, I'll always go back to my Sony's or a set of Shure in ears I have.Get what you pay for.

So I got these the other day because I'm in college and needed an affordable DJ headset for mixing at parties and such. After looking through a ton of reviews of different products and all of the ones on these headphones, (the different color ones have reviews, this one just hasn't had any yet), I decided to go with these.Pros:-Good overall sound quality, no apparent distortion-Really cool look-Well built, pretty flexible-Comes with 2, 1/4 inch adapters, one of them being a 90 degree angle, and a nice bag for the headphones-Long, but not obnoxious cord length-Great priceCons:-These WILL hurt your head after about 20 minutes, when they say DJ headphones, stick to DJing with them. I DJed 2 party's this week and they were fine for that because they are on and off your head most of the time (one on ear, one off). I tried using them to produce in FL 10 and I had to constantly take them off to avoid a headache.-I noticed after a decently long period of time, the cushions got a little sweaty (granted it was really hot in the room), but still something to make note of.-Sound cancellation was okkkaayyyyy, if that's really what you are looking for then these aren't for you.-One last thing, one of the reasons I got the neon green was because I thought that it would glow under black light. It kinda doesn't really...the stitching on top does, but the green plastic itself does not, just something to keep in mind as well.Overall, if you simply want a pair of headphones to DJ with at an affordable price these are great. If you are looking to do anything else with them, look somewhere else.

My son asked for a nice pair of headphones for Christmas and I didn't want to break the bank. I was so happy to find these on the lightening deal on Amazon and scored them for under 10 dollars!! I listened to them and couldn't believe it! The only mistake I made was not buying more than one pair!

Sounds incredible!! Bought these for my 10 yr old. They fit him perfectly but also fit and adults head. Would definitely buy more!!

American Audio makes pretty decent stuff. most of it is a copy of Pioneer's more expensive products. but my experience has been that they are fairly durable and work to expectations. the last pair of headphones I owned were American audio and they lasted me 4 years before finally breaking at the swivel joint at one of my gigs. It wasn't too disappointing though because I'd already beat the ever loving crap out of them before that. if you take care of these they may just last you a lifetime. word of advice though, if you feel a little ambitious you can replace the headphone jack with a gold plated heavy duty one from radio shack. the aluminum plating on the factory plug tends to where off after about a year of use and can cause one side or both to stop working. Easy fix for someone who can solder like myself. well worth the amount of money spent though. Love the green so thats what I went with. its nice and bright! does not glow under black light like some people might have though. I wouldn't expect it too though, this isn't phosphorescent coloring.
