Ixos Mos Dj1001 Headphones Mos1001

ixos is an uk-based company that specialises in making high-quality audio cables. Using its audio expertise it teamed up with the ministry of sound to produce a full range of dj headphones, but with enough breadth to satisfy you no matter what your needs.

the dj1001 have been designed to be the ultimate in dj cans. To kick things off the 50 mm drivers can pump out enough power to drown out anything, letting you hear exactly what's playing undistorted. You'll be able to happily crank up the output, as the headphones are rated to take 3,000 mw as well as having additional speaker protection. Tech wise the drivers have a response from 28 khz down to a respectable 10 hz and will produce 107 db/mw. It has 64 ohm impedance, comes with a fixed three metre coiled cable with a 3.5 Mm gold plated jack and screw-on 6.3 Mm adapter, as well as a handy headphone mounted mono/stereo switch.

in use the headphones produce sound that's as sweet as a nut, though for casual listening the bass isn't as warm as other headphones, but it is perfectly defined. Almost important as the sound is the build. The cans (which can be rotated) are lightweight and reversible, and the adjustable strap clamps the headphones firmly to your head, while remaining comfortable to wear for long periods. --nick baxter
