Independent shopping perspective

The Korena take

Full-size headphones built for loud monitoring: 57mm drivers, a 64-ohm load, and a nine-foot cord. For DJ booths and tracking rooms where you need level and reach.

Strong match

Who this is for

  • DJ booths where you cue against loud house monitors
  • Tracking drums or amps, when the headphone mix must beat the room
  • Working at a console where you move around while listening

Consider the trade-offs

When to look elsewhere

  • Final mix and balance decisions that need a flat reference
  • Phone and commute use — nine feet of cable is unwieldy
  • Anyone wanting wireless or a short, detachable cable

What matters in use

The specifications, translated

Catalog numbers tell only part of the story. These are the details most likely to change how this product feels, sounds, or fits into a setup.

American Audio HP 700 Professional High-Powered Headphones construction detail

Detail 01

64 ohms impedance

Middle ground. Plays loud from mixers, interfaces, and laptops without a headphone amp, but isn't the low load a phone prefers.

Detail 02

107dB sensitivity

High output for the voltage fed in. You'll sit low on the headphone knob, and any hiss in the source becomes obvious.

Detail 03

57mm drivers

Large diaphragms, which means large earcups. Better seal around the ear, more weight on your head across a long shift.

Detail 04

3500mW power handling

Enormous headroom. Practically impossible to damage from a mixer or interface output; your hearing gives out well before the drivers do.

Detail 05

9-foot (3m) cord

Reaches across a booth or into a live room. Also a snag hazard — clip or coil it near foot traffic.

Detail 06

5Hz–30kHz frequency response

The range extends past human hearing at both ends. A wide span says nothing about how balanced the midrange is.

Final check

Know before you order

  1. 01Nine feet of cable needs managing — clip it so it doesn't catch on gear
  2. 02High sensitivity exposes hiss from cheap outputs; feed them a clean source
  3. 03Earpads wear out first on working headphones — confirm replacements are available

Product questions

Before you decide

Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.

01Do I need a headphone amp for these?

No. At 64 ohms with 107dB sensitivity they get loud from a mixer, audio interface, or laptop output. An amp mostly adds headroom you won't reach.

02Are these good for mixing?

Fine for editing, comping, and checking parts. For final balance and low-end decisions, cross-check on monitors or a known reference pair before you commit.

03Will they work with my phone?

Electrically yes — 64 ohms and high sensitivity play plenty loud from a phone. The nine-foot cord makes them impractical to carry around, though.

04Can they handle loud drums or a live stage?

That's the intended use. 3500mW handling and 107dB sensitivity give level to spare over a loud room. How much bleed you block depends on the pad seal.
